Here's goes on my first post with a different type question. I am not sure I've psoted this in the right spot--chose the one that looked the closest.
My employer will pay up to $9000 for any certification or diploma program of my choosing--any field, with some caveats. I am trying to find a photography program via a distance learning framework that is 1) worth the effort for an avid amateur with many years of shooting taht is seriously considering a professional move in several years, and 2) meets the "certification/diploma" criteria.
I actually started NYIP awhile ago, and I was not impressed and dropped it; I am looking for something more substantial and professionally minded. NYIP seemed superficial and did not provide me anything more than I've learned through my own reading and studies. The project feedbacks were not very personalized, and on the whole the program was disappointing.
What are the best programs out there that can be done distance learning? Or, is there a program no more than 3 weeks long that I could travel to, and would be worth it? Thanks!
