I decided to complete this course when I decided to turn my hobby into a career.
Studying while also working, I have gained so much skill and knowledge. I can see the difference between my photographs from the start of the course to the images that I am now able to produce.
Your tutor works with you to ensure that you understand each step of the course and helps you when you need more guidance.
I have studied online before and have had a bad experience with my set tutors not helping and really not caring if you fail or not. That made me really wary of applying for this online course. But I am so glad that I took the leap and I was truly surprised by how much your tutors wanted to see you succeed.
I will be forever grateful for their guidance. They are truly passionate about what they do and making sure you reach your goals.
Thank You Team

This course is amazing!
I knew very little about photography when I started the course, but as I worked through the modules, my knowledge and skills grew. This course has pushed me out of my comfort zone, and it was the best thing that could have happened to me.
The flexibility of this course, together with the expertise of the tutors, made the whole learning experience a pleasure. Within the same week of completing this diploma course, I have been up in a helicopter with the doors off for a commercial shoot, and my work is currently being exhibited in a Gallery, which will be on display for one month. This would never have happened if it were not for this course.
I would recommend this course to anyone who is serious about becoming a professional photographer.

My tutor Steven was wonderful and made me understand every assignment.
This is a great course to start your photography career. I absolutely loved it! What a wonderful online photography class! It makes you understand all of the fundamentals of photography!
I couldn't be any happier what the results! Thank you, guys!!!

I signed up for this, not expecting much. I already had regular work in the industry, I had been shooting fully manual and was happy with my work, but I signed up anyway.
I managed to complete the course in 11 months while working 2 jobs on top of the photography work that was coming in, along with helping with a newborn baby in the house and a 3-year-old.
Now, after completing the course, I can say that I have learned lots. I have much more confidence approaching prospective clients, I have a lot more confidence in my work, and I learned a lot more about my camera and efficient ways to get better results. I am really delighted I did the course, and I am now looking at the advanced modules.
All I can say is if you're hovering over the button, sitting on the fence, wondering if you should sign up or not, do it. It's not something you'll regret.

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this course - the modules are in-depth but not over-complicated. It is very easy to follow, and the tasks are well-designed to test your newly acquired knowledge. The mix of written and practical work also gives you the opportunity to take what you have learned and try it first-hand.
Working with Justin has been an absolute pleasure - his depth of knowledge and keen eye has not only allowed me to understand, progress and complete this course, but his feedback is so genuine and thought out. Justin really is a guy who is looking for you to become the best photographer you can be.
If you want to take your photography to the next step or learn some new skills, you are in the right place.
