PS Formal training anyone?

I was just wondering if anyone has any "Formal" training/education for Adobe Photoshop?

I'm currently taking a class on PS 6 at my local community college and wanted to know if anyone else had and what they thought of it where they took it.

The classes I'm taken are in 3 semesters.

1st Semester - beginner
2nd Semester - intermediate
3rd Semester - Advanced


P.S. only 201 to go for my free pizza.. whoo hoooo:D :D Just Kidding.....

Formal training........

Using it....everyday.....

Most (not all mind you) small college PS/desktop publishing classes stink... I talk to new students year in and year out on the subject....and thats what Iv'e learned

I have found several that are pretty good....but the overwhelming majority just have those classes to "have" those classes, and Joe Blow....the computer lab dude teaches the class cuz he "knows" computers....and can install the software.

I seriously hope you have a good one....If not....don't waste the money.

Thanks for the response. I'm taking at least the first one and probably the second one. We're using Adobe Photoshop Classroom In A Book 6 and it's pretty interesting so far.
