Distance school?

Kinda toying with the idea of taking one of these classes from a distance learning school...kinda like the ones you see on TV. Some of the classes listed I just can't see working because the skill is developed in a shop environment, such as auto body....how do you learn proper spraying technique without spray gun and paint shop?
I'm trying to find a way to get into the mechanic field. Not completely convinced this trade can be learned without the full-on shop experience.....Anyone have any experience with one of these schools?

I finished of my BOS in electrical engineering by taking classes through Old Dominion University Online. I learned a lot, though I would have enjoyed the hands on aspect.
