    Ok, so i start college tomorrow and theres an opportunity for me to do an evening class in 'Embedded Control Workshop'. Its one evening a week, for 15 weeks. As i'm still in full-time education i don't have to pay £83 to do the course.
    As i'm an electronic illiterate do you think this course would be worthwhile doing?

    If anyone has done a course like this, did you find it useful? Or did it cover totally irrelevent stuff?

    What would be covered:

    Basic Electronics Systems Theory
    Introduction to PIC and AVR Microcontrollers
    Instruction Sets and Assembly Language Programming
    Project work on AVR's
    Introduction to Embedded C (IAR Embedded Workbench)
    Analogue and Digital Systems
    Circuit Simulation ECAD
    Introduction to Microcontrollers.

    Bearing in mind this is going to be free. Is it worth doing?

    Do it.
    I've been looking around and it's difficult to find an electronics course after you leave full time education.
