Two friends of mine are doing this course at the moment and say it's very good.
I've seen what they have to do and it seems quite thorough.
You just do the work in your own time and it's assessed as you go along.
It's certainly not a con.
Regards,
Michael

I never have a good feeling with online courses.
I never did one though for that reason but i believe you can just as well buy a studybook.

For many things you need hands on experience and you won't just be buying a whole studio just to learn it for example...

I'm doing a photography course myself and it takes 2 years and 1 every two week we have a lesson from 9 to 4 so out of my head.

I know the problem, i need to travel as well but for 1 day in the 2 weeks it isn't that big off a deal.

It's also very learning full to see what the other students are doing and their feedback is also always handy, that's one part you're also missing at an online study.

Too bad, you at least got a positive feedback about this one, maybe it's worth a try?
Can't you try the course out for one lesson maybe, do they have that kind of an option, i couldn't found one so fast?
