I don't think there's such a thing as a bad class from Nick. I've taken a couple of classes from him in Atlanta, as well as at ICES. He DOES move a little quickly, so be ready for that. But he gives awesome tips as you go along.
I absolutely love taking classes with Nicholas Lodge. I have taken the one you mentioned and it was fantastic. You learn a lot of techniques such as draping, embossing, painting, gumpaste/fondant ribbon insertion, frilling, bows, etc. They have snacks, and drinks throughout the day and Scott makes a wonderful lunch everyday and fresh baked cookies in the afternoon.
Have to hop in here with a vote for any class you can get into - he is a marvelous teacher, very organized and focused, yet patient with beginners or less-experienced students. You'll learn so much, and he will earn every penny you spend with his teaching ability and experience 
. His staff is friendly and helpful. Just be sure to set up a home equity loan before you go into his store 
I have taken several classes with nick. I am going to take a 2 day class in sept . in charlotte nc. with him also. A friend and i went to his school in atlanta 2 summers ago. It was absolutely wonderful. Scot cooks lunch and then cookies in the afternoon. You are treated like royalty.Everything is right there for you to work with, even when he travels to teach. You will love it too.
