Yes I did find it helpful.
I in my opinion it all depends on who teaches....
I got good teachers.
The teachers passion and knowledge of their subject made it easier to learn and also more fun than doing it at home.

Luck of the draw really, I have heard many stories about low quality teachers.

Yeah they went over all of the semester 2 work in 5 hours, including a 40 minute break, so really 250 minutes.

I haven't been to TSFX but they are $95 for 7 hours, not including breaks, but they only cater for unit 4.... and TSSM had a 3 for 2 offer, so thats why I went there instead.

Edit: TSSM's 5 hour program was $99

TSFX Winter school did have breaks.  The lunch break was an hour.

EDIT:  Depending on the subject, there was 2 breaks before lunch and 2-3 breaks after lunch.

Oh yeah, wasn't it 7 hours including small breaks, or 8 hours including both the lunch break and small breaks?

If it was Winter School, the first teach was Greg and the second teacher was Geoff.
