Thinking of signing up...

.. on an online course. I will come away with a dimploma at the end of it.

The course seems well set up and it has 12 realy indepth modules. One tutor is designated per pupil and it will take 24+ weeks to complete.

The modules are:
1. Cameras and Lenses
2. Shutter, Aperture and their relationship
3: Exposure and metering
4. Film and metering
5. Light and Colour
6. Lighting - daylight and artificial
7. How to take better photos
8. Equipment and Software
9. Retouching, Resolution and printing
10. The studio
11. How to construct a professional portfolio
12. Photo Agents, Picture agencies and how to get work

So do you think i should????

I have no idea if it's a good course or not, at the moment all that is way beyond me , but, you seem pretty keen on it, if my memory serves me right, you want to eventually do photography professionally, then in my mind it's a step in the right direction and to end up with a dimploma can only be good, your work is already brilliant imo, so I can't see it being a struggle for you, if it's what you want, then go for it

I'm thinking of doing this course also. Seeing as i have 5 days left at my job, and i wanted to be studying... course looks really good

nks CLMG - i thinkit would benefit me in the long term and looking at the T&Cs it has a 7 day no obligation time, during which you may examine the first two tutorials and first assignment. If you dont like what you see, then you can cancel for a full refund

Looks a good syllabus.

No idea if £550 is a good price or not ?

Neither do i Phil? But i do like i can make weekly payments - even though for some reason it wont let me pay when i sign up! ARGH

I would do a search for the courses on the web.. and see if anyones been on it and what they think of it, whether they think it was worth it, is it a recognised qualification etc.

They only have 4 testimonials on their site, that's not many at all really...

No idea if its a good course or not
But I would have thought photography would be a carear/profession that would not be soley relient on qualifcations and more what you can do and show you can do.

I think the idea is very good and certainly something worth pursuing, however I don't know how good that particular course is. They do seem to cover all the basics, however it might be wise to do some digging into what their qualification is actually worth.

sound good but the price have put me off ! i did a course in my local college for £100 . wanted to go on the next stage but sadly missed out this year, did wonder if is worth doing online but it sound as if i allready done these things but still confused on which i should be taking next! how i past my exam still amazed me as im still learning stuff now lol
