online 'puter courses

i've been talking with my parents about taking some online
computer courses herefor programming, web design,
etc, etc, etc. (i already know the website of theirs is
stupid and annoying, and so are their television adverts)
basically learn some computer shit,
and i was wondering if anyone here has ever done anything of
the sort, and if there's some downsides to it that i am too
stupid to realise, like not being able to get a job with the
certifications, and it being a waste of money and such.
i am already pretty durned good at some of the stuff, but do
you think it is worth it to take some of these courses to
say i was "certified" to a possible employer? or is a real
college an infinitely better solution?
/any other thoughts?

When searching the internet for information on whether
something like that is good or bad, you'll probably tend to
come across a vast majority of biased information made by
the companies own advertising saying it's good. It might be
easy to weed out these and only read any negative critisism
instead since that tends to be honest.

You might try searching google for simple negative
statements people might make somewhere in the millions of
pointless blogs people post everywhere such as "smart
certify direct" + "waste of money" or "smart certify direct
sucks" etc. to see if they turn up matches. This isn't
helpful but I feel a need to respond to nearly every topic
because I'm a bored loser.

In google, "smart certify" + "rip off" returned this link in
which 3 people talk negatively of it:
