Overview

This distance learning course covers all aspects of portrait photography. Along with the fully-illustrated lessons there are a number of projects to complete. Photography is a practical subject so it’s important to get out and take photographs. That’s the fun part in any case! Once you have completed the projects, you would email them back to me and I’ll assess each image and reply with a constructive critique for each one. There is no time limit for this course – you work at your own rate. I think this is one of the big benefits of a distance learning course. If you have any questions during or after completion of the course, help is available. We are either an email or phone call away.

Jess asked:

What qualifications do you get at the end of the course?

Answer:

Hi Jess, Thanks for your question. We don't give out formal qualifications on completion of our courses but what a lot of people do is join the Royal Photographic Society. Then they can submit a panel of their work to be assessed. If your work is of the required standard you can have letters after your name such as LRPS.

Eva asked:

Is it necessary to have a profesional camera or would an IPhone X be okey ? Also I do not own studio lights - just a ring light - is that a problem?

Answer:

Hi Eva, Thanks for your enquiry. A lot of our online courses do not need specialist equipment but in the case of this course, a camera with manual functions and studio lights would be advisable. Thanks again.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
