<p>We thought we'd jump in really quick here. Though the original question is nearly three years old, it's clear that people are still finding it pertinent. <br>
We can't say anything about PI, but we can say that our own Pro Course is comprehensive in its content and unique in its assignments. To our knowledge we're the only school (other than colleges and universities where the professor is within 100 feet of you) that requires students' hard copies of their work for critique and grading. We do this to get our students used to the real world of professional photography where prints are required for jobs.<br>
One note, though: because we do use mail service in shipping materials like books, DVDs, CDs, and assignments, international students will have a longer waiting period than domestic students. For example, Zen liu, one of our new students from China, is referring to the standard 8-week-wait for his materials. His message was posted on innumerable forums before we knew he was experiencing a problem (be sure to contact us with problems, we can fix it if we know one exists); we have since contacted him and allied ourselves with him in the belief that the post is a slow, maddening thing--but a necessary thing, nonetheless. <br>
If you have any specific questions and don't want to call the school, check out our FB <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NYIPhoto">page</a> or <a href="http://forum.nyip.com/">Forum</a>. Both are large communities with new, enrolled, potential, and graduated students who aren't afraid to share their full experiences when asked.<br>
