What You Will Achieve By the end of the course

- A deeper understanding of visual storytelling
- The ability to capture images that truly stand out
- Applicants must be at least 16 years of age on or before 1 July in the year of proposed entry to the course.
- Although this is a highly practical Photography course, leaners will also be working towards two units of the OCNNI Level 3 Award in Photography and will therefore need to produce some assignment work for assessment. A suitable standard of English language and ICT skills will be required to complete the coursework.
The completing learner will have a good practical understanding of Photography and will, with confidence, be able to take professional-standard photos. This could lead to opportunities in photography, media and graphic design, both commercial and creative.
