As well as a local Community College look out for Adult Learning courses too. Learning from the internet is one thing, and for some people that works fine, as can buying a book and learning from that for some people.
Some people like to be shown and guided. I must show a vested interest because I work for my local Adult Learning Service, and most people come to the camera courses because they want to learn with someone showing and guiding them through the subject. They also want to ask a person a questions face to face. A lot of the people, beginners in particular, are making little use of the internet, so for them it is a route that they have not even considered. :shrug:
With regards to the Jessops 1 day courses, for the same cost I know Liverpool Adult Learning Service offer a 10 week course 25 hour courses for a similar cost.
I know not everyone has the time to make that
commitment, but for some it's better to work at a slower pace, and have the ability to come back week after week with any problems that may occur, and to reinforce learning over a number of weeks, and also be able to ask someone face to face any queries. Works for some people. :shrug:
I was interested to see what Jessops deliver on a one day course though, and I picked their leaflet a couple of weeks ago to try and see what they were offering. The leaflet was a bit vague, but looking on their website they seem to offer a lot in one day from what I've read. They only offer their courses in a few locations around the country, which may not be convenient for most people I think.
You should learn in the way that suites you, be that books, magazines, DVD's, internet, courses or whatever, and in any combination that works for you.
