Hi

I finished a part time college course on photography. so i can use all manual and i want to continue and i was looking at a course by the photographic institute, are these any good or can someone give me advise on any other home learning or internet courses?:)
 
I'd considered the OU T189 course before and discounted it as some of the feedback wasn't that great.

That said, as an OU student, you qualify for Adobe's educational discount, so the course could easily more than pay for itself if you were to make use of that.
 
I did T189 in Oct last year.. have mixed views on it really.. you have different subjects each week to start with and use an 'open studio' to post your images to.. 3 for the course and 7 of your choice.. you are put together with people from your area then randomly put into different groups each week

this is great in theory.. but if you get put in weeks where you get little or no feedback from others its not very helpful to you as there is no tutor feedback either, some comments I got were more of the 'nice shot' and not much else at times which wasn't very helpful either

I really enjoyed having the weekly assigments early on but after the 7th week it all geared towards how to upload your images for the final assessment and not much else..

I got more out of the flickr group that was set up for that intake, we still all post and are active on there now.. met some nice people from doing it..

Thats my take on it.. others rave over it so dont let me put you off
