I took the course a few months back. It was good for me because I had no
knowledge of the technical side of USB. They give you an overview of USB and
the different protocols and then demonstrate the use of the Microchip USB
stack using their dev boards. From there I found it quite easy to create a
couple of simple USB projects for home use. I'm not sure about using the
Microchip stack for a professional project, I have heard that there are a
few bugs but I haven't had to look into it in any depth. You will need some
knowledge of C programming.
I'm only about 20miles from their UK headquarters so its easy for me to
attend courses. If I had to travel a long way then I might consider just
buying a dev. kit and going through the examples.
Cheers
