some pics from my college

I did a distance C&G course for engineering and production.

But with no studio time, it was all a bit theoretical. Although you did learn a little about a lot... Lots of studio time and you'll be laughing. That place looks the business.

Mastering courses are pretty much a waste of time really IMHO.
What you need is an apprenticeship or just some work under an engineer as assistant.
There is some theory but it`s all based on ear time and hands on really, and a mastering course simply doesn`t give you the ear time unless it`s one on one 5 days a week.
Most courses are great for personal knowledge gain, but do nothing when it comes to employment, as like media degrees, music tech qualified students are running around like diarrhea.

Get down a local studio and see if you can get some part time work with a mastering engineer you will learn more in 3 months that way, than an entire year on a course.
