Does anyone have any experience of these?

I done a quick google search and they seem to vary in price from the Open University at £165, ICS at £290 to The Photography Institute at £500.

I really fancy expanding my skills and think an online course would suit me best.

Can anyone offer any advice on this or other options.

im doing this one, (so is Dellipher)
I think it's brilliant, they give you a pro photograher to tutor you and give you pointers on where to improve

cant fault it so far but I havent done a lot of work in the last few months, work and weather keep getting in the way
when you complete it you get a diploma
 
Lot of reading, explains the basics well and having your worked looked over by a pro really helps
got a lot of information about setting up as a business as well and they offer a 30 day money back guarantee if it doesn't suit you

This is the pro thats been assigned to me, cant fault him so far

Do you have to pay the course fee upfront or can you pay it up in installments?

Also, how much time does it take up in a week. My job can be a bit more than 9-5 some days and some weeks I don't have a lot of spare time, whilst other weeks I can have plenty of time, can it be spread about?

Sorry for all the questions!
