Web Design Home Study Course ?

My wife is interested in learning about web design as a possible career direction change through a home study course. Anyone had any experience with one/some ?

She currently works as an AutoCAD engineer so is more than computer literate and (IMO) able to tackle something like this. But she's also not under the impression that after completing one 3 month course she'll have a new career, it's a matter of her getting the grounding to understand how it all fits together and see if she likes it to take it further.

She found a course on the internet, well two courses as a bundle: http://www.distance-learning-centre....ING_BUNDLE.htm and from looking over them they seem to cover off the basics like HTML/XHTML, CSS, JavaScrpt, hosting, standards, and touching on apps like Dreamweaver and Flash etc.

Anyone heard of Distance Learning Centre ? Or know of any other courses you could recommend ?

TIA

Her name was McGill, and she called herself 'Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy
