Don't bother, honestly. I have been looking around for my wife, so she can help me with my business. It is a complete waste of time and money in my opinion.
There are 3 stages for learning web design/development.
1. Learn how to use Photoshop from YouTube videos
2. Learn the styles, methods, layouts and ideas from 100's of other professional websites
3. Learn the programming, the boring side. How to use Dreamweaver and ImageReady (for slicing images) as well as HTML and CSS. My favourite resource is W3C for learning CSS and HTML codes/tags etc.
Save yourself over $800 (the cheapest one I found for a 3 hour course! JOKE!)
I can make you up a quick DVD tomorrow if you like. I sell to you for $750 lol. Seriously, weave your way around the net, and learn for free.
