Well...all i can say is photography is all about creativeness and a few camera parameters to keep yourself well aware of. I bought my first Canon Powershot SX100 IS and shot a few really amazing photos just by reading the manual. Most people who are unable to use a gadget properly are either sick of reading manuals or careless enough to use it in "AUTO" mode.
A camera has 4 main parameters to adjust while taking pictures of subjects in different light and movement conditions, viz: Shutter Speed, ISO, Exposure Time and Aperture Value.
Read about how these parameters work together on the internet and you'd know how close you're to becoming a photographer. Joining a course to master the skills sound ridiculous to me. The choice is yours anyway. Cheers!
