Any tools there that you don't have at home? Besides the instructor, of course.

Of course- They have three unisaws (compared to my delta 10" benchtop
on a homemade stand) Four full sized lathes, two 8" jointers, a 24"
surfacer, and three bandsaws, the largest being a Rockwell 20" (I plan
on doing all my resawing as my 9" delta will not handle much!) I've
got a few things they don't (dovetailing tools, cabinet scrapers,
etc.) but overall it's much better stocked than my shop. The most
interesting one is the "wood welder"- that sucker will tack up a joint
to working strength in 5 minutes or less.
