Have you checked with your local shops or your local photo studios? I know some of the non chain stores have classes.

Here in Amarillo we have a really cool store that has been around for over 70 years. They teach classes and cover a broad range of topics. They also teach you based on your model of camera for the various types and styles. Cost is about 50 bucks.

Good luck and let me know if you find something you like.

Hi Bonnie, I agree with MG, try a local shop. If available they can be of great help on how to use/set your camera.

Also check out your local community colleges, some have some reasonably priced courses to bruch up on some skills. I would suggest you get some student feedback before you jump into classes that might bore you or something of that nature.

Hey Bonnie, I am currently enrolled at NYIP and though I just started, I have learned so much already. It's really good so far! And quite reasonably priced! Check it out!

I am not sure if they are good or not. I found them doing a google search last week. They "look" good but today on the internet it's hard to judge by a quality site.
