Any body done any courses with Metro? Are they any good?
I need to improve my Flash skills and I was thinking of forkin out £500 and doing their Flash ActionScript course!!!

Any one???

Never heard of them.
To be honest, I have never seen the value of courses...especially AS courses. A good actionscript book and some serious time put into learning, seem to me to be a better option.

Can you reccomend any good books then?

Yeah I did the basic flash one ages ago but it was good and it's much easier to learn on a course than just reading books on your own. I'd do the actionscript one myself if work would pay for it. Tight gits.

Ive heard of Metro New Media, that was years ago and they had a good rep then, dont know about now though.

I've seen some of their literature and they seem professional but I dont think the courses are worth the money, you're better off with books and a helpful friend to ask when you get stuck.
And besides, Kingsland Road is a shithole, I know, I lived there.

Actually the MNM office is very swanky. Its' part of some fancy college building. I still think courses are a good idea. You learn more stuff more quickly.

I can see the attraction of a course...but for £500, I still think self learning and books are more cost effective.
You also get in the habit of self-educating..and that's gotta be a good habit to get into.
But if your company is paying for it...

Thanks for you comments guys!
I would love to go down the book and friend route but I am pretty isolated her in Stroud, (Gloucestershire) and i don't know anybody local enough to make use of if I got stuck.
Plus I am not good with books! Although saying that I am not good with forking out 500 squid aswell!!! But needs must!
