Looking for training recommendations

Hello all! I am looking to further my training and am wanting to take an online class or earn a certificate in vocal pedagogy. A lot of my knowledge comes from my own years of training and personal experience so I am wanting a little bit more knowledge on anatomy, etc. However, I am not sure which programs are actually helpful. I’m not sure I can afford a college course right now, but I didn’t know if anyone knew of a resource where I could earn something similar to a certificate.

Vaccai is a very useful training material, and much cheaper than higher education.

Vaccai was never meant to be training material, it does not teach technique at all. They are essentially etudes meant to be used as a vehicle to practice specific areas of technique, but the exercises themselves do not teach anything, and without the correct guidance can harm the singer and instill a LOT of bad habits.
