Professional Photography for Beginners

There are many excellent camera models for beginners on the market. However, as a prerequisite for the course, you will be required to have access to a DLSR camera. This is a professional-grade model which will be appropriate for both personal and professional use after graduation, should you decide to pursue a career in photography

Assessment for this course is spread across short answer questions and submission of your photographic work. You will be required to complete these to a standard that your instructor deems appropriate. Re-submission may be required if your work is not of the required standard; your instructor will be able to discuss more specific details with you as relevant.

Graduation from this course is contingent on the submission of all required assessments and photographic materials to an acceptable standard. The course is self-paced over a twelve-month period (with the option to extend if required). However, you will have the best chance at successfully completing the course if you space it over the entire study period, rather than attempting to complete all of the assessments towards the end.

No. This course is designed to be suitable for people who are looking to study while still working full-time. Delivery and assessment are handled entirely remotely. You are not required to visit the campus, though you are free to do so for administrative purposes such as registering, making payments etc.

We offer three different payment options for students. Upfront payment is the cheapest option overall. However, we understand that this option is not practical for every student, and accordingly, we offer a number of options to enable as many students as possible to participate.

1. Upfront payment — You can make payment in full, prior to beginning the course.
2. Deposit + instalments — A deposit is required upfront, with subsequent payments broken down into instalments over the course of the next 20 weeks.
3. Custom payments — You are also able to devise an entirely custom payment scheme that suits your specific needs. To find out more, visit our page about custom payment plans.
