I am pleased with the outcome. I am presently taking the classes and I find them very helpful in learning professional photography. Based on the receptive way they dealt with the former problems, I will recommend them as a cost effective way to study.
The lessons are very thorough and cover a lot of information you don't get in other classes on photography I have taken. It is still a bit difficult to get someone in the office to answer questions, and you can't ask questions of the "instructor" you are assigned to evaluate your work, so that is why I only...
