This comment came to us from our first student Brian O'Driscoll:

        Hello Ernst, Maria & Edith,

Hope you are all well. I guess it's pretty snowy there, I'm glad I
didn't have to travel home today!! I just wanted to leave you with some
level 1 feedback as requested:

Overall, I was extremely pleased with everything and as it turned out,
being the only student meant I was able to gain a far greater level of
"real-life" hands on practical experience than may otherwise have been
possible had the number of students been greater. Though, a minor
downside is that with the intensity involved, I was both mentally and
physically tired by the end - no complaints though. I am very
appreciative of the fact that you continued to carry out the program
despite the low number of students involved. I loved the fact that I got
to use all the tools and materials necessary in building a heater, this
gave me a very detailed impression of what is involved, very helpful.

It was great to meet you all in person, I felt totally welcomed into
your home by everyone, including Max !! The food was of far higher
quality than I could have expected. After a cold start in my cabin, I
really did grow to enjoy my stay at Windhorse Farm. On site
accommodation would have made things easier no doubt but I know it's
something you are thinking about for the future.

I came away feeling very positive about my decision to join the school,
I am aware there is a lot of hard work ahead, I have lots to learn but I
feel I am in the right place to do that and with hard work and dedicated
enthusiasm I feel it will work out.

Kind regards
Brian
