If you have an eye for photography and want to turn your hobby into an exciting and fulfilling career, the Certificate in Digital Photography could be the key to your success. This online qualification has been designed to enhance your skills, maximise your creativity and give your photos the boost they need to advance from amateur to professional. All you need to get started is a good quality digital camera, access to image editing software and a quiet place for home study.

This distance learning course is made up of eight modules. These units cover everything from close-up shots and shutter speeds to landscape, portrait and wedding photography. The course should take approximately 128 hours to complete, but at learndirect we understand that life can get in the way of our courses.
