British Academy of Photography Anmeldelser 151

BAPH offered a good variety of courses, but It was the one-year course Post Grad Diploma, with a recognised accredited qualification that interested me the most. The syllabus looked really varied, stretching but with a logical flow and included the history of photography which I had never studied before.
The opportunity to study fairly close to home with fortnightly face to face classes in Salford and the ability to receive hands on support via an experienced Photographer/Tutor was a really key part of my decision making, plus the ability to share knowledge, best practice and learn with other students was really appealing and the main selling points
I look back with a huge sense of pride and satisfaction, my knowledge, skills, planning and ideas are so much better now than they were before I started. I’d like to think my pictures are better too!
I would certainly recommend the Post Grad Dip to friends or other students looking to gain a professional photography qualification, so many new skills to learn, to support future opportunities in the field of Photography

I signed up for an online HND in engineering years ago, and got no meaningful support, however, this course from BAP is worlds apart from that.
The website has lots of useful information, support and is well structured (although the previous website was definitely much better and easier to navigate). It is easy to see what you need to do and support via the Forum, emailing tutors (who respond quickly) and the Facebook group.
I was invited to a video tutorial and have also had a call asking how I am finding the course, which I think is pretty good... Thank you BAP Team!
The final amazing thing about the course is the price... The price is spot on and absolutely right and a totally affordable way to work towards and HND or Degree in photography.
However... you will have to work hard and put a lot of effort into it, and I am very challenged by the Assignments... it is going to be a long haul!

Since I started studying at BAPH it’s has really been a great adventure; the course is well designed and very versatile. You really feel that you are not only advancing your technical skills, but actually studying art with all challenges and discoveries it carries. The assignments are tough, but just enough to make you focus on them and make your work enjoyable.

BAPH’s tutors are certainly one of The Academy’s biggest strengths; very professional, very approachable, extremely helpful and very fast in responding to any questions or struggles you might face.Their feedback is thorough and they will really go an extra mile to help you achieve your goals. All my interactions with my tutor and with other tutors have always been amazing.

If I were to point at any weaknesses of the course, for me that would be a pretty narrow coverage of retouching and photo- editing. However, when I pointed this to student liaisons and my tutor, they provided me with enough support on the editing front, but also listened to my ideas on how this could be improved in the future.

Turning a hobby into profession is both time consuming and very challenging, so it’s important to choose who you will do it with well. If photography is your passion, I’d definitely recommend you give it a “real” try with BAPH.
