Very, very helpful
The course starts with an excellent and thorough introduction using the String ensemble. He then goes through the other ensembles explaining the differences. There is some repetition regarding the dynamics, articulations and mixer sections though this is a very minor criticism. The remaining videos give an excellent demonstration of composing a piece starting with instruments from the string ensemble and subsequently adding instruments from the remaining ensembles. I found these videos to be particularly useful and I highly recommend buying this course. I hope that something more advanced will soon be available.
