Online Python class for beginners? Karma points :)

Looking for an online python class FOR CREDIT by a Community College/Uni. My company with pay for the class/time off if it is accredited. It is surprisingly hard to find.

I plan to use Udacity and Udemy for extra assistance.



Have you looked into courses at your local community college?


Yes, I have looked all over. I see tons of free courses and some fairly expensive courses ($2,000 range). I know there are some good online community college class for $500- $1,000. It's not my money, but I want to treat it like it is.

Thanks!


Can you share specifics of what you have found?


Honestly, I didn't write all down. I kept a list of the top two contenders, because I was looking for something different.

I wanted something that would help me learn ( active teacher vs online tutorial) and be easily transferable.

Two that might fit your list (but not mine) were the extension courses at UCLA and Berkeley. Both were about $750, but consisted of "do it yourself" material according to my friends review. Hope that helps.
