The Author:

Ken Schultz has been a Photo enthusiast since 1980, when he received his first SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera, He went on to pursue Zoology and Marine Biology in his further studies and focused, specifically, on Dolphin Communication, a choice giving him ample opportunity to find the perfect shot.

He and his wife started a wedding business soon after. He handled the photo and video side of the business, gaining considerable experience using DSLR Cameras. A year later he started an online Photography business and online resource for beginners.

Not slowing down, Ken then created DigitalPhotoCentral(.)com and a free e-book guide on buying your first DSLR. After demand for a unique DSLR course surfaced, he went about creating a Beginners guide to the DSLR, and published it online. Now, with both Beginners and Advanced courses, his DSLR lessons are online and conveniently accessible to all our users.

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.
