Paid for the 12 hour intensive course + test, got the instructor Mark who was really chill and kept all the lessons light hearted but informative, all my lessons were in the span of a week or 2 prior to my test, and ended up passing first time, if you're in the West Sussex area looking for an instructor definitely go for countywide and ask for Mark :)
