Helpful but not completely excited because the chronology is in my mind not exactely what is needed. But the Presenter is good and understanable. Might also be that PT is not a "modern" DAW ;-)

Great instructors.
So far, so good. The instructors are demonstrating the procedures at a very casual pace. They have a contagious, but good, sense of work flow to teach. From my perspective, they are good at what they do, and I thank them for taking the time to assist us beginners. Time is valuable and it something that should always be respected.
