Why not a degree?
This is Brainlag's view.
A UK master's in music costs about £13,000–£18,500 a year, or £30,000–£40,000 for international students, plus living costs. Undergraduate tuition in England is up to £9,790 a year.
In film, TV and games music, composers are usually hired on their portfolio, their reel and their relationships. Clients rarely ask where you studied.
Film composition degrees are fairly new. Many working composers learned by assisting, orchestrating and writing a lot of music.
These courses teach the same craft to a university-level standard, at your own pace, for the price of a subscription.
Brainlag courses are not accredited and do not award a degree or diploma.
