This was helpful.Please could you give a little more detail as to what the assignment would consist of? Many thanks
Answer:Hi, Thanks for your message. The assignment is a fully practical assignment that asks you to take pictures with the knowledge you have gained during the course. Unfortunately we are unable to provide unenrolled members with the exact assignment task but I hope this helps answer your question somewhat. Regards Mandy Drukter Course Administrator
This was helpful.When would the course start and how many hours a day would be required ? My camera is only a Panasonic lumix Dmc tz20 would this be ok ?
Answer:Dear Dan, Many thanks for your message. The course would start once you enrol into it. As this is a video course, it is up to you how many hours you dedicate to the course a day in order to be flexible towards the students daily schedule and commitments. I have just checked the specs of your camera, and as it has both manual and semi-automatic modes, it can be used for the course. Kind Regards Mandy Drukter Course Administrator
