For me, I like a combination of both online learning and classroom learning.
Sometimes it can be challenging to find one online site with a handful of tasks you want to learn in PS or Illy. I've also found that instead of learning tutorials online, I'm browsing trying to find the best tutorials to learn then 2-3 hours are gone doing that alone!
If classroom learning would be beneficial to you, do it. If you cannot focus well online, then you'll possibly have challenges learning online.
Check community colleges and learning centers such as New Horizons. With a place like New Horizons, you'll pay more but you'll see a full outline of what you will learn. I am planning a class like this to be taken in the fall.
