I did years ago pre digital but it was pottering around in a dark room messing around with chemicals or loading and unloading film on reels (in pitch darkness). Didn't really learn much about "photography" eg perspective, composition, lighting etc etc. So it was a bit of a waste of time.
I've learnt so much more by my own volition and you can attend every course under the sun or read every book under the sun but if you are anything like me once you are out in the big wide world I'm like "Er what did the book say about x" or "What did they say on DPS?".
Learning by trial and error is the best way!
