Flytyer - your decision to postpone is a good one! Depending on the make of camera you are using, Amazon and others have camera-specific books available that have assignments in each chapter. One example (for Nikon D7000 users) was John Batydorff - "NIKON D7000 - From Snapshots to Great Shots," that walks you through every step of the learning process. Each chapter has multiple assignments, walking anyone through the camera's process. Available thru Amazon. Other cameras have similar support. Good luck on your photo learning!

As for your location and its small population, yes, you may have difficulty finding nearby photography workshops.
Online resources, besides NYIP, may prove helpful:

I took the course, and they have good lessons. The only thing I didn't like was the lessons were for film and also digital. They taught you what you needed to know, but I thought they were too expensive. You can learn the same things from books from the library, YouTube and free lessons you can get on the internet.

Flytyer57. I invested in the Professional Photographers course from NYIP several Years ago. Not because I considered myself a professional, but, because I felt I could understand and follow their information. I was given plenty of time so I used it. They sent me a lot of material on a regular basis. They're material covered every aspect of the camera, both film and digital. They also covered what photography was all about including many different types of photography. They're feedback was very good and they critiqued my work every step of the way.
I throughly enjoyed the course and I believe it made me a much better photographer. No I don't make commissions.
Good luck on whatever path you take.

Here is an interactive site that teaches about F/stops, shutter speed, and focal length. It's good. You put in the manual settings on a test picture and it instantly shows you the results.

Look at their total price to graduate plus what you must buy to be a student, and you'll quickly come to your own decision. If you are young and want to go far and go big into the worlds of Fashion, Glamour, Art, etc. it's probably worth it but keep in mind that most scenic, portrait, and wedding photographers are completely untrained except for some online or local college courses, and have learned by the seat of their pants or apprenticed with an experienced photographer.

Photography isn't brain surgery. You can learn everything you need to know by training links on the internet. And in this digital age you can take thousands of photos for cost of the camera. Making mistakes and learning in the digital age is cheap compared to the film era.
Just remember the way to Carnegie Hall is practice, practice, and practice. Same with photography. Take baby steps and practice a lot.
And you have a great support group here.

Perhaps I am missing your point Shutterbug but I would have to ask the question "Do you really suppose that an advertiser would publish testimonials from customers that did not like their product?"
