That's one of the many secrets we teach. Many photography courses promise to show you how to become a better photographer. But far fewer train you to become a pro. There's a reason for that. Not many people understand the
nuts and bolts of the freelance business. The records you
keep. How you look for work. How to get paid. And what to
charge. Having a client commission your first assignment is a real thrill. It's surpassed only by the pleasure of receiving a cheque. Imagine getting paid for doing what you enjoy! Photography courses show you the way. Photography can be
your main work. Or it can provide a second income. You can
work from home, either part or full time

Personal to youTo help you fully understand the course material, we'll set you assignments. They'll be assessed by one of our experienced tutors. It means your photographs can be checked in a friendly atmosphere before you're exposed to the outside world. You'll have unlimited access to your personal tutor,
who'll give you free advice and suggestions on anything
to do with photography, including your own clients.
Plus, you can take as long as you want to complete
the photography course. |
This is what you'll receive
when you register |
||
| Unlike many photography courses, our course is based on the real world. By the end of it, you'll have met all the main problems that a photographer encounters. So you won't face any surprises when you meet your first client.

'Institute
learner Darran Buckley won the 'Wild Scotland'
photo contest with this outstanding picture
of a cormorant. We can teach you to succeed,
too.'What does the photography course cost?
The course cost is shown in the registration page. It includes all your course materials, and all your tutoring. There are no hidden extras.
How long does the Diploma course take?
Many students take nine months to complete the Diploma course. If you're busy, it could take you eighteen months. If you have spare time and you're prepared to work hard, you could complete the course in three months. But unlike other organisations, we set no time limit. You can take as long as you want. You study at your pace, not ours.
Your qualification
Photography Course Diploma Students who satisfactorily complete the course are awarded the Diploma in Professional Photography. They receive the certificate, and the right to use the words Dip. Pro.Photo. (Inst. P.P).
We offer not one but two guarantees
1. Examine the course at your leisure
for 30 days. And if you for any reason it doesn't
meet your needs, just let us know and we'll refund
your fees. No questions asked.
2. If, 90 days after completing the course, you haven't recouped the cost of the fees through working as a professional photographer, we'll refund your course fees.
Why do we offer this? Simple. We don't want unhappy former students. We'd rather stay friends. And it stands to reason that no photography course can suit absolutely everyone who registers on it.
Competitions. Prizes!
We hold regular free competitions for our students. You can win prizes, plus a Certificate for your walls and a boost for your CV.
When you complete the course
Once you complete the photography course, we send
information about your success to your local newspapers
(if you want). It's a good way of telling potential
clients that you're available. We'll also put your
name on our Register of Approved Freelance Photographers.
