Which Online Class or Course?

Ive signed up for nyip.  I have my first set of lessons, with the second set on the way.  I haven't started it yet -- I knew when I registered that it would be a few months before I had the time to start it, but the price was going up so I wanted in on the old price.  From what I've seen, it looked very interesting.

I was just looking in a different forum and someone recommended this Course.  It also looked very interesting, unfortunately I'm one who needs books to look at, I'm not good at learning from watching.  If I could, this would be awesome.

I'm not certain where you live, but another option is PSA (www.psa-photo.org). It's $45.00/year to belong to PSA, but included in that price is a course, similar in concept to nyip.  You get paired up with a professional and work with him online.  You'll get a .pdf file on a lesson and then homework that you submit to your professional for critique.  There is a time limit on how long you have to finish this course from when you sign up.  They also offer a mentoring service with 35 topics.  I haven't tried this yet but it looks like you pick a topic and you get connect with a PSA member that has experience in the topic and is willing to share their expertise.

Just a couple other suggestions.  If you want to have an offline discussion about nyip, PM me and I'll fill you in some more.
