Courses while working

How many of you have taken evening classes while working? Could you share your experience with balancing work and studies? How did you approach the topic with your boss?

Also, has anyone pursued one of the many certifications out there (CQF (7City), Certificate in Math Fin (NYU) e.t.c.). Are these considered legit?

I really want to take a course or 2, but not sure how feasible or acceptable it is as a 1st or 2nd year analyst to pursue it.
