I haven't taken any of the classes, but this is what I learned from the web site:

• The Basics will give you information about how the classes work
• The classes are on the Internet so anybody, anywhere with Internet access can take them
• You have to complete the assignments to get your money's worth and the classes include professional/instructor critique of your work.
• The school offers a money-back guarantee
• Classes range from beginner to advanced and include topics such as exposure, composition, business, building websites, lighting, and digital darkrooms. More focused subjects include nature/landscape, food, street, wedding, portrait, pet, architecture, birding, children/infant, and flower photography .
• Understanding Exposure is based on Bryan Peterson's well-known, frequently recommended book of the same name.  PPSOP says it's their most popular class.

Reviews: For some reason, it was difficult to find recent reviews of this school, but here are a few.  I did find comments in forums from prior students but they were older (2007 - 2009).  I only found one negative comment and it was about the Understanding Exposure course which received good reviews from others.
