Personally I like it better than sitting in a classroom all day, you do the modules when you want. If you are the self reliant type you will like it, if you are old school type that needs spoon feeding and diaper changing you probably won't.
Then why not stay home for systems as a distance learning course, take the eskv, pass, and show up for fixed based sims with flows memorized?
A classroom setting leads to discussion and knowledge. But it also costs $$$.
