By now I've looked at the best and problems are the costs and so, so I'm looking for alternatives.

Does anyone know anything about the one year program in ICP for photojournalism? the information available on the net is limited and I cant find anyone who has attended there, or anyone who can give me an opinion of the place in the sense of the international name of the institution.

Also If there are other good places to learn this I would be glad to know (except RIT & brooks which are the most common answers for this question...).

Since I went to both 1973 and 1979 and now retired, I think I might give you a few points.

Photography school can be a two edge knife. People expect you to know everything about photography. Something that is unrealistic.

Like in all schools, you learn how to learn. This is different then having your head filled with photo facts and figures that some people delight in doing as a hobby.

What the two edge knife of going to a photo school? Well it's like this.

Take a bone doctor. That doctor can admit he doesn't know how to transplant a heart and you would think nothing of it. He would still be a doctor in your eyes.

Let a food photographer say he doesn't know how to photograph a car for a major advertisement and what would you think? You would think, what kind of trained photographer is he?

No one realizes that trained photographer might only take 2 or 3 hours to learn how to photograph a car where as the person off the street might never learn how to do it.
