Hi Ian,

Many thanks for your prompt reply, and encouragement.

I have looked at your link, and the courses look ideal for me, and very reasonably priced. I live in Cheshire, so I will search for similar courses a bit nearer home.

The reason for my ‘ideas’ was because I know from my own work, when you attend a course, especially if it’s quite intensive; a lot of it is forgotten very quickly. I was hoping to find something that was lots of short and simple learning ‘chunks’, with lots of opportunity to practice and submit work for appraisal/criticism - and of course you could work at your own pace. I also like the idea of other ‘learners’ trying the same modules, submitting their efforts and having useful and frank feedback. A forum is the ideal place for this - but of course it needs an 'expert' to provide the training in the first place!

I know that there are a lot of courses available by searching on line, but in looking through the topics/syllabi (is that the plural?) there is a lot of stuff that, whilst interesting, won’t necessarily improve my photography – so I would question the need to fork out for the courses in the first place.

I will certainly be using the forum more, now that I have taken the plunge.

Many thanks agian!

Cheers!
