Description

Are you new to DSLR photography? Perhaps you just bought a new compact or DSLR and would like to get the best out of it. This course will help you to get set up to configure your camera for fantastic photos. It is an introduction to the basic principles of photography and a walk through of components and settings.

Understand how your camera works, identify the ISO sensitivity, how to choose lenses and the rules of composition. Once you have set it up, you will then be ready to go on to the next phase of the course, which focuses on taking control of your camera.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
