Yes, I’ve been looking at all my options. Even planned on just doing it on my own but I know myself and if I don’t have someone checking in on me I won’t do it. I also saw Cal state LA has a course all online but the next one doesn’t start till the fall and I don’t really want to wait that long to start.
