Thanks for your in depth response. It would have to be online. There is feedback it seems but it is one way, not a dialog. I have a few months off before new work commitments start up and I want to spend it going hard on the fundamentals. I am attending a real class but it is for fine art, so a fair bit of the time is devoted to charcoal and oils and controlling a pencil overhand grip for a vertical stand. None of this I will use beyond this class. Maybe I'll use this as the test. Thanks again.

So the Dynamic sketching course is $700. Is that what you did? Would you say it is worth the price of admission ? That's no longer try it and see money.

Thanks so much, appreciate all the insight. Never too late :) I am a beginner self-teaching at the moment. I am devoting basically all my spare time to serious learning even though I would consider myself a hobbyist as well. What I am lacking at the moment is the feedback you need from a more experienced person. I feel like you can waste a lot of time without this. I have started a semester at a fine art studio just in order to get some of this feedback even thought the medium isnt what I'm interested in.
I'd be happy to pay a lot more than $700 to sit in a class like this but I'm outside the US. That leaves the online version where I'm wary that I would be paying $700 to just download some youtube vids or that the teacher would be phoning it in for the online class. From your feedback this seem to not be the case, and they are really going out of their way to make the most out of the class and help the students within the limitations? I also like the idea of there being a progression through the school you can keep stepping through. Is Patrick's approach the same as Peter's or is he developing a different class? I think maybe Peter is the most well known and his class may fill up quickly.
I think maybe the best approach is to join the /r/ArtFundamentals journey while I'm waiting for the next semester and make a decision then. After hearing from the two of you I'm tipping towards signing up.
