Anyone out there doing the AP Diploma?

http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/spi/diploma_digital_photography/

I saw there was a thread from November last year here on TP (but I don't know how to put the link into this post) :thinking: asking the same question - a couple of people were doign the IPP course on becoming a professional photographer, but noone seemed to have commented on the AP course.

I did consider the Open College of the Arts module(s), but just too expensive.

Thanks for any thoughts.

i have been looking to do an op course here but as you say are to expensive how rver i had a word with a pro and he said i could tag along and watch him as long as im not in the way and would let me help were pos so who knows .Ask a pro or semi pro it may help to get started hope this helps.
 
Some bodies take Tesco clubcard points in lue of payment - OU being one. Worth checking.
 
I'd be a bit concerned about the use of the word diploma. Is a acredited to the national qualification framework (a diploma is the equivelant of NVQ4) of by diploma do they mean you get a certificate at the end of it?
 
Andy, sounds like you've got a good opportunity there. I don't know any pro photographers, though - I think the TP meets are a good way to learn from others in person.

Slipper-one - really?! Mind you, I don't shop in Tesco, so no good to me anyway.

Kev - I would think the latter! Altho that doesn't bother me, I'm not aiming to use the "diploma" in any professional way.

Still would like to hear from anyone actually doing the course .... :wave:

Thanks all.
