I never took a course all the way to master diver. I bought the books, and then my LDS had me take the written exams, and if I got a 90% on it, I just did the checkouts. I do quite a few dives with them and the instructors were happy with my skills.
My LDS is now under a new owner and they will no longer do this for me. Since I just don't have the time or inclination to sit through long classes, I don't take classes any more. Other than card collecting, I don't see the point.
