The British Photography Academy has a
range of different courses to choose from.
Which course you opt for depends on what
you want to get out of your photography; for
an enthusiastic hobbyist, there is the certificate
in photography, which is geared towards
those who want to learn about the basics.
There are five practical assignments, and the
course is designed to take three months.

skills and perhaps learn some new techniques
and tricks to push them further ahead in their
