I went to Wendelstedt's 5 week school when I was 34 with the thought of taking a pro job if it was offered and improving my skills to better my local chances of moving up if I wasn't offered a pro job. Harry ultimately told me "We'll hire you but you'll die in minor league ball", so I came home and contacted every college within 100 miles of where I lived. This was all before assignors, but all the schools hired me sight unseen because of the schooling.
I had umpired HS and juco ball before I went to the school, and within 2 years of coming back from the school I was doing a full D1 schedule.
If you have the time and money, do one of the full-blown schools. You won't regret it.
