    edX has quite a few good and very good courses on the subject. For example, right now "MITx: 6.008.1x Computational Probability and Inference" is being offered (other courses are available in archived mode), as well as Caltech's "Learning from Data" (theory heavy) course. There also is a lot on Coursera, but the more theoretical university courses on probability theory are on edX. Everything is free - if you ignore the certificates (if you really need to prove you took a course take a screenshot of the progress page).
