Learn direct courses

[Cobra]

Ok So I guess we have all seen the learn direct course ads on the TV
Well maybe even subliminally about the photography guy ? ( looks like a wedding or even a catalogue shoot)
So out of morbid curiosity I banged in photography into their course finder
and guess what?
If you want to work as a photographer you'll need a wide range of skills.
learndirect don't actually offer online courses in photography,
but you can find out more about photography courses from The Careers Advice Service.

If, however you are thinking of starting a career as a photographer, there are some skills that you may need that learndirect can help with.
Many photographers are self-employed and run their own businesses

So one for the trades discription people I guess, :rules:
and all this from a government web site. No wonder the country is in such a state :bang:

i used to work in an internet cafe that offered learn direct courses for bigginers computing, one evening the teacher didnt turn up and i ended up 'helping out' the course was a bloody mess but i dont know if that was down to the person running that course or the material i dont know but for the people i helped that evening it was just plain confusing so i just showed them how to do waht they needed to learn in that lesson without using the provided litrerature

Doesn't th elearn direct ad say something about returning to work ASAP?
