Course Structure and Content

Pros:

  • "The course gives you key theories, processes and photographic information in a contextualised and practical manner."
  • "The content across the 10 modules, well thought out materials, photographer references, opportunities to grow, expertise from every tutor - all great."
  • "The Complete Foundations course is great if you want to learn about the basics of photography, how to use your camera, and how to develop an eye for images."
  • "The course was very well produced and put together in a professional manor with plenty of content and lots to learn."

Cons:

  • "The course could easily be condensed into one day 9-5 and cheaper (get it on a Groupon deal for only £69 - full price £195)."
  • "I do think the course could easily be condensed into one day 9-5 and cheaper."
  • "First of all, We do not need a 10 minute break every hour. It's a waste of time and we then have less classroom time."
