I am the proud owner of an art 'O' Level, dating back to 1979. I haven't done anything arty since, so this course was a little daunting.
But the course is very easy going, the most stressful thing was thinking on something to carve. After making a clay maquette (a scale model), by the afternoon we were chipping away at our limestone blocks. The tutor gave helpful advice and support where needed, but otherwise left us to crack on with things.
I had a great time and the results were far better than I had imagined possible on such a short course. You can see my piece here - http://is.gd/NL0Z0l
