I was surprised that you read my comments as being negative or harsh- but as I re-read it I can see how you might have read the request for you to draw a direct link between the program and how it would help you as a skeptical ‘yeah, right’. It really was a genuine question! the questions were to tease out exactly the points you replied with. Overall, I was trying to say that it doesn’t matter what other people say- it matters if it’s right for you. Your concern about value for money is of course appropriate!
This is the crux of it.
Apologies for coming across as negative or judgemental- it’s almost the opposite of what I intended.
