My nephew is a student of theirs. He started the course and changed jobs.
He now works in the boating industry. His employer has agreed to pay the
tuition for him to complete the course, so that must say something about how
the industry views the course.

If you intend to get into the industry, it is important, in my opinion, to
evaluate just how many boat designers are actually needed. Many
manufacturers hire designers that have an established reputation, on a
project by project basis so they don't have to carry an expensive employee
on their payrolls yet only use them when there is a major design change or a
new project.

If the education is for your personal interest, then get all of it you can
afford, they are not cheap.

If you have an employer in mind, get their opinion of the school, and
perhaps if they want to partially fund your education.

Anyone heard of West Lawn Yacht Design Diploma? Is this school any good?

Thanks for your comments. I think I'll have to evaluate before any decision
is made.
