![]() ![]() Mike, all home study courses of any kind should have you send the lessons in to someone so that they actually know you're learning. $2,800 is hardly a lot of money when you're talking about a full course in horology. I asked about the home study course just out of curiosity while i was there and they said it's essentially the same thing as being at the school, you get all the same information just not a real helping hand and no access to the schools equipment, but you can call the school and talk to the instructors during school hours and they can explain anything you need to know. The tuition for me was close to $13,000 including the cost of tools and i attended last year. Perhaps it's worth it if the course is very comprehensive, number of pages for each lesson, etc. If that price it would be fitting if it came with a full set of Bergeon tools, an off-shore made Lathe, and an instructor that drops by your house every few months. HOWEVER, at $60 each and there being 48 lessons, we're talking It even models the "send in one lesson" to them for grading / review. This sounds exactly like the "Wisconsin" home course from the 1930's, 1940's that I republished. This Course is actually Clock & Watch Repairing with a few lessons near the beginning in clock repairing, so that you can see what is happening on the larger clock movements before going on to the smaller watch movements. This way when you send in one lesson, you can go on to the next lesson without waiting. The Lessons are $60.00 each and are mailed in sets of 3 lessons at a time. Included in the information mailed is a Course Outline telling you lesson by lesson what you will be learning and a Tool List of the tools needed to do these lessons. The Home Study Course consists of 48 written lessons with projects for you to do and mail back to our Instructor for comments. We have mailed our information to you today. I filled out their "send me more info" page and received this email: ![]()
