"This course was such an amazing and valuable experience. The knowledge and assistance whenever needed from Meg was fantastic. One the most amazing experiences I've ever had, apart from the arrival of my daughter. ; ) I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to take the step and get the most out of your shiny new DSLR! The lessons learnt will help you in whichever photography path you desire to follow. Thankyou so very much! "

" After many years of taking photographs on a digital point and shoot camera, my partner and I upgraded to a Digital SLR. I was desperate to know how the camera worked and how to use all the functions of my new camera. But I have always been a little daunted at the thought of going ' Back to School'."

" The 101 Basic and Creative course offers a fun learning experience with small classes sizes that made me feel like I was part of a team, not a school.
The advantage to having a maximum of 12 people was that everyone had a chance to review and ask questions. In fact we were encouraged. It was a lovely environment to learn together, and I have come away with some wonderful experiences and some wonderful friends in the form of amazing up-and-coming photographers."

" After researching photography courses in Melbourne, I found this course to be the most comprehensive, convenient with its timing structure and cost effective. The course covered all the things that I wanted to know about my camera and also the fundamentals of the art of photography.  
Our Course Advisor was friendly and very helpful. She always encouraged us to ask questions and to let her know if we needed extra help with any of the course work."

" I will definitely be signing up for the next courses that are on offer. "

"My Photo Image course was a present by my husband as I had an interest in photography - he originally asked me how serious I wanted to take this - was it a 4 week TAFE course or in fact a commitment of further time - I committed to the more serious and practical course, and I'm so glad I did.  So I commenced the class using his camera and really having no idea of how much of a craft taking photos involves."

"I have found this course to be quite challenging, enlightening and delightfully encouraging in learning how to craft your snaps.  It is so different to my day job!  Taking photos is not about clicking madly, but the thought process that goes into taking "those" snaps that last a life-time is what I have learned.  Meg's teaching has been superb, really practical, down to earth and she makes you think about the process, reminds you of all that we have learned in class and it all comes together - thank goodness she is so patient."

"The small class size and practical work is great, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and will be recommending to others who are also interested in photography!"

" I wanted to learn how to use my new digital SLR and found the Level 101 course to be ideal for this purpose. Knowledgeable teaching staff and the small class size proved to be a great combination and made me feel quite at ease in asking some very basic questions about the world of digital SLR photography.

I remember at the start of the course I was shocked to hear our tutor Meg say ... “ by the time you finish the course you won’t be using the auto setting on your camera at all”. What a daunting prospect that was at the time, but she was spot on!  

With my newfound photography skills I wanted to venture a bit further to get an understanding of how I could manipulate my photos to improve the end result. The Level 201 course has given me a basic understanding of Lightroom and Photoshop and importantly, the confidence to continue to use and experiment with these applications. I have a passion for all things Italian and hope to find some commercial opportunities to incorporate this with my photography."

" So practical and just loved the feedback. Orginally I thought 13 lessons would be overkill, but it allowed me to truely understand not just be shown then forget it within weeks of the course finishing."
