I think a small issue with people studying the course is that there is sense of idolatry which has developed towards these teachers who have cropped up on the scene. And that the teachers want this but mask their desires well. There is an entire community of course 'students' and teachers' (though one in the same) inter-connected on Facebook, and it's important to realize they have there tit for tats outside the groups they travel in or more privately within them. One famous teacher who will go unnamed (yet his name does pop up here and there on this sub edit) reversed his trends of being called only where he was invited and actually called up another one of these more popular online characters while I was travelling. He invited himself to her west coast city and the conversation I had with this quite mature, married, distinguished woman pointed towards his tonality being anything but enlightened. This said, do the course how you want it just make sure you prepare yourself well accordingly, and build up the early foundations that are needed to advance. I'm sure you know there's no specific way or order. You can't do it wrong, but you can make sure you're prepared.
