    I'll be offering classes in Dublin in a few weeks.
    Mostly specialised stuff - I can't see the need/demand for basic classes really.

    Most people these days can find everything they need online at a beginners level - but I do think there are some areas that people would pay for insights, tips, techniques etc.

    Maybe that's just me - but I reckon that there's enough online for beginners.

    Do a basic one or join a club but your learn all your skills by getting out and taking pictures!

    you can teach yourself to a point... then you start to require outside input to progress imo

    Agree with melekalikimaka You can teach yourself the basics to get well on the road and then maybe do a course on a particular aspect or theme whether it be landscape or Portrait.

    The other thing you could do is look at joining a Camera club or group. I have learned a lot more from people out taking photographs rather than have them explain stuff in a room.

    Where are you based in Dublin?
