I started doing it, but to be honest, found it a bit dull, I think I have completed about 3 or 4 of the sections, haven't touched it for over a year.
I find something like Mark Cleghorn's site more interesting and easier to learn from, and all the information in the photography institute course is available online for free, I found the advice and information on here much more useful!
That's only my opinion though!

Don't! That is just my opinion. Haven't looked at their website for a while, but remember it was quite expensive. I knew a teacher once who went on a seminar for distant learning.
He came back and said the main idea is to get people interested and pay their money, and hope they fall out before they complete the course :shrug:
Get a good book to learn basics. I did this along with an adult-leisure-learning course at the local college. Once you.ve learned some basics, google and youtube can be your friend to learn about other stuff. Obviously forums are great, like this one. PT4U is great if you can afford to pay for online training videos. In fact their is plenty of stuff on the net you can find for free. (The Strobist blog for instance)
If you want to shoot portraits /weddings then the SWPP convention is a great place each January for seminars. And there are some cheap ones like MARK Cleghorn's Monkey Business Tour, and recently the HTH.
OK, not attended all of the above, but heard great reports on all and personally feel it would be money well spent rather on some un-accredited distance learning course.
Just my humble opinion of course, but there you have it.
