Unfortunately, good courses are becoming more and more expensive. The tuition fees are high and you need to travel 2 or three times a week to attend it sometimes far from home.

Some are in the English language, and some in German language. Take Great Courses! The only thing you need is an internet connection! I enrolled in Design 101(or Design Basics).
