Easy to Study

Modules: Each photographic course is divided into easy to follow modules containing a number of related photography lessons. The length of each module varies from course to course, typically you will find between 7 and 10 lessons in each module. Level 1 courses, have 5 modules. Level 2 courses have 3. The entire course is made available to you from day 1, so you can see what the following lessons are about or review past lessons. It is simple to navigate  freely throughout each course.

Project Work

At the end of each module your own progress is noted with either a multiple choice answer quiz,  a practical project to be submitted or more usually both. Theory quizzes are graded immediately on-line. You project work is uploaded into your e-learning environment. Your tutor will critique and grade your own work and give constructive criticism so you improve rapidly.
