Hello, Well I accept that stores are noisy. But Apple here in the UK have done everything to make it easier for me. The trainer and I have a set of headphones each that are connected via a splitter. All provided by Apple, although, I like to take my own headphones. They turn off the music and attempt to find the quietest area of the store. They have encouraged me to give feedback. They give me extra time too. Because I have some travelling, my sessions are for 2 hours. Yes the noise of the store is a problem. So is dealing with your personal email in store but they were willing to set up a practice mail account, had I wanted.
I have had about 20 sessions and I feel it is great value. Even if I buy a new product in the future. I think I would buy 1 to 1 because I'd learn about the new features of the new operating system. I look forward to getting IOS 7 and Mavericks training as it is still within my year's membership. It's great value and the only way you can bring about improvements is to be in on the inside. Instead of sitting on the outside crying about it. Just my thoughts from experience.
