I tried their fashion design class. It was pretty pricey, but otherwise okay. The teacher couldn't speak English but they had a translator. They provided transportation to the place and back. Aside from the price, I would recommend them.

I did! but I was quite disappointed. it doesn't worth to pay so much money and time for that.
there was a big gap between what I was promised when I enrolled and the actual situation during the course.
Just to mention a few points:
1. there are 12 students though I was promised before that the class would not include more than 8 people.
2. the course takes place at a very distant location every saturday which consumes a lot of time, although I was told at the beginning that only part of the course is tought there.
3. they also said that there's an English teacher and only sometimes will there be a Chinese teacher and a translator. In fact, there is only the Chinese teacher. Can you picture it?
teacher----translator--- 12 students and questions from 12 students--------translator-------teacher----translator-----12 students.and then we could move on next step. we wasted so much time. lots of them were unhappy with that situation.
they promise you when you enroll, but after payment it was so hard to have them on the phone.

how they handle problems it's much more worse.
so Do think it over again, before you go there!!!!
