I can't wait until there's either a course offered in my area, or more likely an online and/or DVD release. I love that one of the courses is for people switching over from other apps. Proof that the same professional results can be achieved in Blender that can be achieved in commercial software. Regarding Leopard: I strongly agree, Apple and The Blender Foundation need to work it out. I'm (obviously) a big fan of Blender and a Mac user, and I will not be buying a new computer until I know I can run blender on it without issues. Regarding certification: There's a great site called vtc.com that is basically a video tutorial library for many applications, everything from MS Office to ProTools, and last I checked, there was no course offered for Blender. Somebody with a bit more Blender knowledge than myself should make one. The site is subscription-based and offers a certificate once you've viewed every video in a course. Regarding Black Boe's comment: So true, no matter how many video tutorials you watch, there's still a benefit to having a teacher who can answer specific questions as they arise. Vid tutorials have their own merits too in that you can re-watch something as many times as you need until you get it, without holding up the class. When we approach learning from every angle we become well-rounded. Awesome! I can't wait until there's either a course offered in my area, or more likely an online and/or DVD release.
