Default Luthier training advice

Hello everyone. I was hoping to get some opinions from luthiers in the group. I have but decided to attend an 8 week workshop in the spring on guitar building and design, and repair. I know that after building one or two guitars there I will in no way be a seaoned builder. But I am wondering if the skills I can expect to gain will at least be sufficient to start a part time repair business, while building guitars in my spare time to perfect my product so I can start to sell custom builts. Any thoughts?

Also, I am looking at the Summit School of Luthiery on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Any thoughts on this school, or maybe other recommendations?? Thanks bunches!!
