Community Colleges *can* be good.

On: Seeking Hands-on Training Programs?

If you live in a largeish city, then you probably have a few community colleges. One of these probably has a good CS department that may have some good classes for you. You can usually take classes ad-hoc, you don't need to be a full time student or anything. They may have evening or weekend classes, but I prefer to take them during business hours and have my job pay for them.

Community colleges often are trying to give you real world skills you can use today, and are a good bet if you have one with competant CS instructors. Don't take anything where it's more theory than practice though, such as at a real college where they want you to have tons of unnecessary (in the real world) prereqs first.
