Hello Ravenna,
I cannot comment on this particular program, but I can say that you are exactly right when you write the following:

I very much like the idea that you have trees that you keep on working during the course so that there is a continuous follow-up with the material you worked on and you can see and learn what you did right or wrong rather than going to different work shops where there is no "curriculum" that builds up on what you know.

In addition to the advantage that you've identified, each technique - repotting, feeding, pruning, wiring, etc. - depends on every other technique that you use. Thus it is essential to go through the yearly cycle once or ideally several times with a single instructor, so that your whole system of working with bonsai is self-consistant.
Best wishes,
Carl
