Which distance courses to choose?

Question

IT education

Hello, there are several of us who would like to choose good distance courses in:
information security, in c# (there is a base - Vasiliev's tutorial), in machine learning.
Ready to learn yourself. Study extra. literature too. We understand that this is a lot of work.
We need courses with the following options:
1. A clear program
2. The teacher answers ambiguities (if the answer is a day or two due to the workload of the service - nothing)
3. A lot of practical work with verification (not a month, at least a week)
4. Access to the Internet is rare. Because the courses would be duplicated in text presentations. Read at your leisure. And not just rollers.

After Google, they chose a specialist ru and gigbrains, GB looks beautiful, but the reviews in the top of Google are somehow retouched, and they are criticized on the forums. The abundance of marketing makes it difficult to choose worthy courses.

Please tell me the pros and cons of these courses, and maybe someone knows more worthy courses. (budget 1k ye)
Specialist less noise at those high school. But the specialty of Cyber ​​Security Management, for example, is the cryptography module
2 academic hours. And the attacking module and their tools are 1 academic hour... But only sqlmap is a clock... It's not enough. Is there a lot of practice there, and are the topics deeply revealed? According to reviews, they serve information from the basics, good. And how are they with the practical part?

Netology brings security with IB-group in partnership. But again, a lot of noise and incomprehensible quality

Answer 1

The Specialist has good teachers and thoughtful courses, practices also give, in my opinion, enough to master the topic. In my opinion, this is the best of what is now on the market, if you omit a full-fledged education.

Answer 2

geekbrains dump. there is even a video on YouTube with a detailed analysis of what is there and how. And yes, you correctly noticed that the reviews about them are bought.

Answer 3
