Thanks for that Alex, but the problem is that customs and postage costs in the UK on anything personally imported over £18 can be as much as 50% extra on the total cost - the government adds 17.5% plus administration cost, and then the postal service adds another 20% or so admin cost on the compound value, so it adds up big time before you even receive the item!

Back to my original question though - I am now on disk 3 of the course and i am finding the teaching method very useful, in giving me a strong understanding of the individual steps, already i am finding the investment in the course of benefit.
