Online or distance learning courses

No, this is not spam.

I am looking for something new to learn, and thought an online or distance-learning course would be easier to do next to a full-time job.

And I'm looking at something in English: either British or American. Probably something marketing-related.

So, my question is: do you know any schools/institutes that offer these courses, and have a GOOD reputation? So that your newly learnt skills actually get acknowledged around the world. And preferably something where I do not have to fly to Texas to do an exam (though I can fly to the UK if necessary).

Thanks in advance!

the Open University in the uk has a pretty good rep for distance learning (less ure in terms of marketing etc) - no idea how accessable to non UKers they are but worth a look.

Thanks!

Looks interesting. They do charge twice as much for foreigners though, but I'll go and see if they have nice courses.

Only twice as much? While looking for a university to get my Masters at they charged 4 times as much if you were out of the state. If you were out of the country it was even higher!
