I have never heard of them either. I have taken a few online classes at CreativeLive.com. I highly recommend them. They are free, to watch, on the day of the class or you can pay for the class and have access to and/or download the classes forever.

New York Photoghaphy Institute has been around for years; don't know if this is the one you mentioned or not.

Ignore the "outdated" reviews you may have seen about NYIP. They have updated to cover digital. They talk a little about film, but now it is "in case you want to shoot film", but it primarily talks about digital.

Years ago when I took the class, it was just the opposite. The focused on film, and talked just a bit (in case you want to try it) about digital. They have updated their program, and in my humble opinion it is still the best.

I recently took the NYIP course. I have no reservations in recommending it. The faculty has a real interest in helping their students. It is a good solid basic course and I speak from experience having attended extensive training in photography over the past 40+ years.

Try your local community college too - they usually have great summer programs

I took a two-day course at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara quite a few years ago. It was incredible! It was so thorough and focused! I would love to do it again!
I don't know if they still do seminars, but I think I will look into them.
I have also done some sessions by Nikon and American Photo. A bit of a crapshoot. IMHO.

Took two days from the Rocky Mountain School of Photograpy last month. They were very good. They do things around the country.
