FAQs

How long does it take to complete this course?
The course can be completed in your own time, at your own pace. On average someone with a full-time job will take 1 to 2 months to complete the course.

I already have some photography knowledge – will this course be suitable for me?
Yes! - The course is taught from the bottom up giving you the opportunity to start your learning from whatever level you’re at. If you’re totally new to photography, start from lesson 1, if you’re a bit more experienced dive in at a later lesson, it’s up to you!

What equipment do I need?
You will need a camera that has manual settings and a standard kit lens. This is generally a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but some bridge cameras are also fine. An easy way to tell if your camera is suitable is to look at the top of it and see if it has a dial with the letter M (for manual) on it. You will also need a tripod.
