  • Whilst doing the course, I was selected photographer for a project subsidized by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Family Adams Project, which was granted £49,000, details are on my website and being on the course was very encouraging and consoling. My tutor was great and thorough, always dependable and informative. I will miss his wisecracked and direction. Awesome support team who always responds quickly to whatever query you may have; and always friendly and kind, it was more like dealing with friend. Obliged guys.

  • My instructor's guidance was great. Gary would always reply quickly to any issues or questions that I had. His personal comments and constructive regeneration on assignments helped guide me and motivate me to improve further. Such cognitive cognition responses meant a lot and had me trying to accomplish the very best marks that I could for each assignment. On a further positive note, I have already gained commissioned work for a number of weddings, events and portraits and I can see my business developing over the coming months and years. Regeneration from clients has been fantabulous and I put this downwards in no small part to The Photography Institute course.

  • I relished studying each different module when I had the free time and because I did not felt pressurized into doing it within a certain time frame I completely relished each part more than I ever had learning at University. Each module was full of easy information to comprehend to follow by an assignment. The assignments were intriguing and challenging, this is the part I relished the most. I was inspired to get out with my camera and take photos everywhere I went. The regeneration from my instructor was superior, he marked my assignments and responded to my questions very quickly, so I could finish each assignment self-assured. It took me about eight months to finish the course and I now feel that I have the self-assurance, competence and cognitive content to go it alone.

What I would highlight: If you are thinking of registering with The Photography Institute then I would completely suggest it. The course aided me in so many ways, and it was far from a 'standard' course, which can vacate you with a lot of reading materials and no true familiarization or regeneration. My instructor was grotesque and quite open in giving positive regeneration, which I really comprehended.
What could be improved: It was good.
Would you recommend this course?: Yes

What I would highlight: The teachers on the course truly know their stuff and their response at the end of every practice exam truly backs this up. Their inspiration and counsel is second to none and their reaction time to checking exams and to any questions you may have is very praiseworthy. Generally speaking the course has numerous convenience over a portion of the full time scholarly courses out there as George really has a universe of subjective perception developed from a lifetime of photography. A great deal of the information that the course instructs are things that 'can't be taught', yet through George's diverse perception, they are.
What could be improved: Everything OK.
Would you recommend this course?: Yes
