Excellent Photography Course
I’m currently doing the professional photography diploma course with The Photography Institute. I’ve just submitted my module 10 assignment and I feel since starting this course my photography has gone from strength to strength. The course is easy to navigate through and you can study in your own time. My tutor is Gary Wallis and his feedback after each module is invaluable. He explains everything in a clear and concise manner. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to kickstart a career in photography.

A fantastic course, thank you PI!
I have enjoyed every minute of my time as a PI student! This course opened up an entire world of photography I never realised existed, and just made me fall deeper in love with photography. Each module contains a wealth of information but is written in such a way that it's a joy to read, not too overwhelming and makes things easy to grasp and understand. This course will also challenge you and encourage you to do your own research and learning, which I feel let's you grow so much as a photographer because you don't get spoon-fed everything. My tutor always provides me with incredibly valuable and helpful feedback after each assignment and is always there to answer any questions I have. I would really recommend this course to anyone interested in taking their photography further, whether you're a beginner or aiming at going professional, it has something to offer for all. I have learnt so much and will forever be grateful to The Photography Institute.

Exceeds expectations
The photography institute modules have exceeded my expectations. The modules are easy to follow and give thorough explanation of concepts. My tutor Justin has been great with a fast turn around for marking assignments including constructive feedback and resources to go to for more information.
The course has required more time than I initially thought.
I am really looking forward to doing the next modules!

So far, my experience with this institution has been great. The academic texts and content are very insightful. The engaging assignments often require one to go outside their comfort zone. My tutor is also very supportive.

Fantastic course for those who want more than just average!.
I can honestly recommend this course as I had never done photography before I started. The course doesn't tell you what to do with step by step instructions. It makes you think, it makes you consider and it makes you act. They give you background, lots of pertinent information and then asks you to get out there and work with what they have given you. I'm nearly half way through and really pleased with my progress in both the theory and practical sides of photography.

So far I am very happy indeed to have chosen The Photography Institute to do a course with. The mentorship is excellent, the course work thorough and suits my learning style. The cost of the course is very good value indeed. I am learning a lot and being challenged which is exactly what I was looking for.
