The next scheduled ones are in London in November and South Africa in 
December.

Very much hands on. About 50% of the time is dedicated to exercises. 
They consists in building a banking system, where the gen_server is the 
database and the FSM is the ATM machine. (Web banking APIs and the ATM 
graphics are provided).

Yes. Everyone at all levels (Assuming they have a programming background 
and have used Erlang) who attends an OTP course will get out the 
knowledge needed based on their entry level. This will vary from the 
person who just attended an Erlang course the week before to the 
developer who has worked with Erlang for over a year and is now making 
sure he has not missed anything. Only issue with this course is that 5 
days will be compressed into 4, so the tempo will be higher.

I need to leave that to others who attended.
