I liked the course content which covered most if not all aspects of the Photography industry including making me think about what type of photographer I want to be, the business side and how I can hopefully start a business doing something I love.
The communication was none existent, unless a course had been submitted, it's hard to sometimes to find time as life gets in the way. My suggestion would be to encourage your students via messages saying something along the lines of " I've noticed you have not logged onto your account for some time, do you need assistance? " Along with a monthly email with the time left do complete the course, as we all know if you blink it's Christmas.

My journey has been a long standing one (Commence in 2019), some moments challenging and others less.
I am hopeful to have this finished before my deadline and to finalise the Diploma.
My growth from start to finish has been amazing and I am surprised at how far I have come.
I have had some great feedback over the years and and am to hopeful to pass this I can legitimately call myself a "Professional''

The modules are very easy to understand. From the visual aids to the experiences Steven shares from his Photography journey , is definitely helpful.
I love that the assignments are based, that I need to get up from my seat and that Steven shares valuable feedback once he reviews my assignment.
Through the institute, I am excited to learn and discover more but I am taking it day by day.
I actually received a job with a film company during my part time studies due to my improvement in Photography but I could not accept the job offer due to my full time employment but 1 day, Ill explore the World with my Lens and knowledge.

The course is engaging and incredibly well structured from the first module. The course covers a wide range of topics from the basics of camera settings, to practical assignments that have helped me gain confidence in handling my camera.
The Tutor's expertise and humor are evident in every lesson and there is always engaging feedback provided for each module.
Overall, this course has enhanced my technical skills and deepened my appreciation for the Art of Photography. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start or take their photography skills to the next level!

This course is very thorough and the tutors are so helpful - always happy to help. I recommend this course to anybody interested in photography - from beginners to people wanting to pursue a professional photography career. I will forever be thankful for how this course has changed my life's direction in pursuing photography as my career. You will not regret purchasing and doing this course.
It's been great fun learning at my own pace and having all materials available at home. When I feel stuck or overwhelmed, I am comfortable reaching out for help, where I get a quick, clear response with constant support and encouragement. Whether you want to be a photographer as a profession or hobby, you can be assured that you will learn techniques and acquire knowledge from the pros who truly want you to succeed. Assignments are fun, thoughtful and relatable, allowing you to practice tips and tricks, deepen knowledge of techniques and be creative.

The course has over exceeded my expectations. I feel the content and assignments are really preparing me to be a photographer. I want to give the highest regards for my tutor, Steven Vote. He gives the best feedback and I can tell he truly puts his heart into helping.

I found completing this module really difficult and I feel there is a lack of a support community to help students who may be struggling. The module was very long and full of tasks that were difficult to complete for a person living in a rural area with limited access to studios and lighting. After experiencing some health challenges, I was advised that I needed to provide medical proof of illness along with how it has impacted my studies to receive any time compensation. I also contacted student support seeking some interactive communication and guidance and was offered online workshops, which unfortunately is not what I was seeking.

My understanding of photography techniques, compositions and lighting has improved significantly since starting this course. I find the tutors very helpful, and readily available to respond to questions about the course content or assessment whenever I have them.
It is worth noting that there are many additional expenses during the course, and before starting I think it is worth considering how much you’re willing to invest through the duration of your studies, as there is more than the upfront course and equipment costs.
But overall, I am happy with my experience and would recommend the course to anyone serious about improving their photography skills.

What made my experience great has been that it was so easy to sign up to do this diploma.
The ease of been able to do work in my own tine and own pase.
Been able to sign up when ever and not been bound by a date.
I did struggle not having others to connect with whom we're at the same stage as me.
Maybe a group team met once a month could be useful within these could be a guest speakers to give us advice etc.

I gave up on this course. It's expensive for what is offers and I found it a boring way to learn. It provides information to read by way of modules and realted tasks, but to say you have a Tutor is a bit of a stretch. What you really get is someone to grade your tasks and add a line or two commentary but it's not support as it having them on tap to interact with. There are much better ways to learn photography that cost way less. I wish I hadn't wasted so much money on it, particulary as I didn't finish it but will just have to put it down to experience.

The tutor always gives very helpful feedback. The assignments are marked very quickly and the learning material is interesting and I learned a lot about cameras and photography. The learning material are written in suck a way that it keeps your attention and you want to learn more

I have been doing photography as a hobby for years, but really kind of winging it. By the end of module one, already things were starting to click and make sense for me. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course so far and cannot recommend it enough!
