I was stunned to read this and work out my position in your class structure.
If someone asked me i would have said not a beginner but not an
intermediate, but reading this puts me in the advanced class. I thought I
needed to ask too many questions for that to be the case even with over 500
pieces of lace under my belt.
If I took a class in a type of lace I have only worked once in my time I
would again consider myself not quite a beginner as I understand winding
bobbins and working patterns etc so quite a complicated business to pitch
yourself and courses.

I think of a beginner class as one where people are still learning to wind
bobbins, make weaver's knots, learn half stitch, linen stitch and whole
stitch (CTCT), possibly the rudiments of a torchon ground, and how to make
a
sewing edge. In NJ, I would have said that after the first three patterns
people were probably in the intermediate level. How would others describe
an
intermediate?
I don't have a ready definition for where intermediate passes into
advanced, possibly it would include having experience with more than one
bobbin
lace discipline, like torchon plus point ground. What do others think?
