-I've been doing it about 6 months and am enjoying it. I'm surprised with the effectiveness of the format and must say I'm taking longer than I thought. Taking pictures for projects is the hardest thing for me - the reading, tapes etc are very old fashioned but I can appreciate the traditional material. I am paying by the month.

-I'm doing the course. I've been on it over a year but its only because I'm doing it very part time and have taken on extra work lately.

I must say that I think the course is excellent. It really gets your basics established. I don't find the materials old fashioned at all. There are audio tapes (I guess they could issue CDs), booklets and videos (They could issue DVDs). The formats are not the latest but the materials are first rate. They've been teaching photography since 1910. I also have a friend on the course and he also loves it.
