What an innovative learning experience and motivational journey into the world of photography for a mature-age student like me.
I gained so much essential knowledge from the modules and additional references and was able to transfer this learning into practice in the assignments.

Halfway through this course I took a gamble and applied a for a job at Satin Edge Photography. A small business in a small but expanding town which I live close, to learn more.
The lady who interviewed me recognised this course as she completed it herself and I got the job as an apprentice photographer!!!
