I very recommend this Houdini course mostly for people who need basic overview of the software to be able smoothly continue with personal development.
Great atmosphere and knowledge sharing between students and professors, both professional and human. Good introduction to Houdini, giving solid bases to approach Houdini at home by yourself.
The lab like intensive nature of the course is quite different from most and I think very helpful for learning Houdini specifically, as the absence of daily life distractions creates the time and focus to solve problems - and then create some more. Also it might be challenging to think of a better backdrop than lovely Český Krumlov.
I don't do FX often in practice, but it's my hobby, and I wanted to learn more about simulations, such as fire, smoke, and water. I thought the Houdini Advance FX Lab would be easier. I was a little worried that I might get bored, but that didn't happen. Benoit is a great mentor; he has a great attitude. I can ask anything; he explains it very well, semi-optionally. If someone still doesn't get it, he tries a different approach. Bootcamp exceeded my expectations. Character Design Labs 2023 (returning in 2024)
For me, Houdini is important because instead of working hard, I can work smart. It makes a big difference. You are more efficient. Houdini requires a different approach, which is worth it in the end. The boot camp is amazing. I don’t have to spend much time searching, trying, and learning. The mentors are really experienced and help to transfer their knowledge directly. 
I am from Spain, and I came to learn about Houdini. I am a visual artist working as a compositor, creating motion graphics mainly for UK clients. The quality of the training, the teachers, and the group are really good. The whole event was well organized. It’s kind of a holiday study, in a way. I really recommend it.
