"Better" is a relative term. The courses are set up so you can pretty much choose what you want to concentrate on, and the classes tend to be well designed, but large. The courses on the standard survival side introduce you to a subject, and then it is your responsibility to practice and expand on that introduction on your own. The Philosophy side is more comprehensive, and teaches different ways to percieve and deal with situations, but takes a lot of time to wade through the process to get to the point of many of the exercises. Again, comprehensive but not precise.
An option I will be using in the future is to search for ex Tom Brown instructors who are teaching workshops. The courses are less expensive,more dedicated to exactly what you want to learn and less crowded. Since Tom Brown rarley graces the practical courses any more, you are getting taught by the same people anyway. Another advantage is you might not have to travel so far to get the instruction.
