I did the first 4 units at SAO. To be frank I felt like I was paying $1000 per unit for a piece of paper. There is no teaching done on these courses, but I never went to Uni so I don't know if that is normal! You buy your books, you follow the course outline (what to read) then do the tests, do a project and pass your unit then move onto the next one. I got HDs for very little effort.

Personally I feel the money is better spent on say a new scope or camera. If you want/need the bit of paper, then sure, spend your $15,000.

Cheers
