Good training experience. Good rigs that you can test program on without worrying about the implications they can cause (relaxed environment). The rigs provide a realistic approach to fault finding, as they are finicky (could be seen as good or bad, but i prefered it). Knowlegable tutor, could answer aditional questions when prompted.
