Entry Requirements
We offer a wide range of courses catering for the complete beginner through to advanced students, allowing you to study at a level appropriate to you and progress on to advanced levels at your own pace.
For the majority of our Photography courses you will be required to supply your own camera. For courses involving image manipulation you may also be required to have basic/good computer skills.
For the majority of our Digital Design courses, some basic computer skills are required, and for more advanced courses you may be required to have additional experience or knowledge of a particular digital design package. Our course descriptions will indicate if some previous experience is necessary, and if so what skills are required.
If you would like some advice on which would be the best course for you please contact us for a chat.
