I just did a check and it looks to me that in Australia they are trying to capitalize on The Institute of Professional Photography which is run out of Melbourne and Sydney and is supported by the govt. I would do some more checking.

Take a look at the course that is advertised on DPS, Online Photography Course. I am certain that this would not be linked or recommended by DPS unless is was good. And I believe that it is reasonably priced and you can do it at your own pace. And you will also have the support of many DPS members as a bonus.

Be very wary of courses unless they are approved by a recognised body.

I am currently doing a BTEC course in photography at my local college, it cost a fair bit but I feel worth every penny. I would personally advise looking somewhere like that local to you.
