For the comments that some material is outdated, they updated the material not that long ago. I took the course back in the 70's, then again about 6 years ago. I got a message from a past mentor, now a friend, earlier this year, or late last year, saying that they had redone the material to meet todays "digital" issues. Remember, however. Light is light, composition is composition, and photography is ALL about the light and composition. Of course, the way camera models change all the time, they can't be completely up with the newest cameras, but they still give you the information you need.
Here's a secret (not really a secret)
Request their information, but don't sign up. If you wait about a month or 2, they will send you a "special offer" for about $200 off. Without fail, everyone that I've made that suggestion to, got it for the cheaper price.
The other thing mentioned was, "you get out of it, what you put into it" I wholeheartedly agree. You can blow through it quickly, just to get the certification. I know someone who bragged that they got it done in a couple of months. They came away from it, thinking that they wasted their money. Those that actually put a LOT of time and work in doing the projects. Listening to the critiques, then reshoot the project taking the critique into consideration, asking a lot of questions, etc... can really make the course second to none. If you are the type who just wants to blow through it, I'd suggest doing something else. If you truly want to get better, and are willing to really work at it, then this is the process.
Good luck with whatever you do, and don't forget my tip about the discount. You won't be sorry if you are patient.
