The Advanced Wheel-building course is for people comfortable with lacing wheels. It will not teach you how to lace a wheel (takes a day to learn to lace a wheel in training and takes a lot of experience after that to get better at it).
This course will give you a huge understanding of how a wheel really works, how spokes can be used to achieve different effects for different customers, how to combine rims and spokes to match. But most importantly it will teach you how to use this knowledge to true a wheel in the best possible manner, which is also the most efficient way. In most cases, it will lead to people trueing wheels in less than half the time they used to take.
