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.
And there is an exam covering all the major systems. If I remember there were 10 sections and you have to pass each one. But it is pretty much entirely self study.
