Thanks for summing it up. I guess no great surprises but, as you say, it was 10 weeks of motivation anyway.

I was in half a mind to myself but you'd pretty much said it all.
"Well Rob, you have achieved a lot, you have embraced it as a whole, the credits are good but like many 'courses' sadly they underachieve in terms of our expectations. you have identified much that can be achieved with some guidance, I'm sure you will agree, being a creative/artist/musician that motivation achieves much more than talent, we learn from others., not necessarily tutors/teachers, there is much more around them to learn from....formalisation of qualifications in the creative arena is in my opinion purely academic, excuse the pun, doing the thing is far more important, yet harder to gain recognition...........learning never ends.........well done for doing it mate, and keep learning...........
