At each event we aim to have at least one tutor per 4 students. Most of the tutors are local, professional photographers who give their time for free in support of Hope and Homes for Children (our thanks to you all).

The ratio of tutors to pupils means that although there is a framework to the course, it can often be tailored to your individual requirements with one to one tuition for part of each session.

The courses are designed so that you will benefit from attending them all - there will be very little cross over between the courses. Take advantage of the discounted rates and come along to all three courses. Comprehensive notes will be supplied to each attendee.
