Was it a Vipassana course? (I am not sure if I spell it correctly)
Discussion
Yes, it was Vipassana.
Cool! I was also thinking doing it. I tried to do meditation as well with less success so far.
How does this, what you have learned, help you in an everyday situation? E.g.: in a stressful situation
Doing the course was significant for me. I can give you my perspective but it really needs to be experienced.
It helped me learn how to meditate and understand meditation is natural for human beings to do. I learned about the common misconceptions of what we think meditation is.
Developed awareness of the reality within (energies/sensations) how to observe this, stay equanimous in the moment with it and allow it to release, this process helps develop a calm mind, less reactivity in yourself. Learned how this reactive process is happening constantly and how the habit pattern of the mind is to react which causes more suffering/ tension and how to start the process of stopping this habit for the good of yourself and those around you.
There was so many more insights, realizations and learnings as well.
I would highly recommend doing a course if you have interest in this.
If you have any other questions let me know. I can provide a link to an org who does these courses on a volunteer run basis, donation only value for value ( many locations)

Thanks!
