    An interest in Photography is all you need, good course for those who are self motivated

    I've done this course, it's a portfolio preparation course so you don't actually *need* a level of photography to get in, just be interested in it!
    Name of the photography teacher is Joe Sterling. Personally, I'm not a big fan of his work and he and I often had disagreements, but he does know some excellent darkroom techniques.
    Enjoy your year there, I certainly did!

    (I miss that darkroom!)

    I'm slightly confused by this question. It's a course for anyone who wants to build up a photography portfolio to get further and can/will help you get into other colleges for degrees and diplomas (including in the UK). It shouldn't matter how experienced someone is at taking photos because you're going to learn A LOT. I knew next to nothing about film photography when I started and within a month I was developing my own prints.

    To try and answer your question though, the keen amateur and the point&shoot experiened would benefit most from this course as the experienced published photographer would (presumably!) already have a portfolio built up.

    Thanks - what I was wondering is, if someone who has never plugged a digital camera into their computer and does not know anything about photography went on the course, would they be out of their depth.

    Sorry for the confusion!

    No, they wouldn't. I did this course also and like above poster I must say I didn't get on too well with Joe, but not everyone is always going to agree on everything. But he taught me a lot about printing and I'm very glad I did the course. Also Christine is great for talking to about work and getting ideas etc.

    Reccomend it highly.

    And I too miss that darkroom haha.
