Special Offer - Upgrade to Private Tuition for Day £175
If you have a group course Gift Voucher you can upgrade to a 121 Private Tuition Day for just £175 extra. The normal Private Tuition price is £325.
Some people prefer group courses, where we have six students, but I know others prefer private tuition if they are not comfortable in a group or have specific requirements.
The 121 courses are just You, Me and your camera so you gain the maximum amount of personal training in one day. These courses usually take place at Foxton Locks where you spend 3 to 4 hours taking pictures with a professional photographer. This compares to about 2 hours on the group course. I will personally guide you to take some stunning photographs at this beautiful tourist attraction you will be proud to show to friends and family. You can see pictures by previous 121 students here

Hi. Glen here from www.digitalphotographycourses.co.uk.
I'm really looking forward to helping you to understand your camera and take even better photographs. The course starts at 10am prompt with coffee and biscuits on arrival, between 9.30am and 9.45am, and it runs through until about 5pm.We do have limited parking for six cars so if you have the choice of a smaller car it really is helpful and less of a squeeze.
There are a few things you can do before the course to ensure your experience runs smoothly
Please ensure you have fully charged batteries as we will be using your cameras a lot and someone's battery nearly always runs out. Better still to buy a spare battery before the course visit www.7dayshop.com for batteries at less than half price.
An empty memory card with space for 200 images.
A free buffet lunch is included and there will be a vegetarian option. If you have any allergies or special requirements it may be better to bring a packed lunch. Coffee & biscuits are provided on arrival.
Bring warm clothes and a change of shoes as the practical sessions do take place outside.

A really enjoyable course which I wish I had come on when I first purchased my camera.
I have learnt so much in one day, due to the good balance of practical and theory, and I'm looking forward to coming on another course soon.
Karen Miller.
I learnt more in the first 30 minutes of this camera course than I had in the last year.
Paul Houghton
Having spent over a year using my camera only on full auto to take photos I decided I needed help to figure out all the settings I should be using.
I'm so pleased I did.
This photography course explained all the settings and all the best picture composition tips I needed. Glen ensured no one left without all of their questions being answered- including me.
Laura Simpson
Objectives achieved. I now know how to take the kind of photographs I've always aspired to. Glen is patient and informative and I felt I got the right level of tuition without being to technical. I would definitely recommend this photography course to others. - Tina Cornah.

Hi Glen "Thanks for a most enjoyable and informative day, It answered all my questioned plus many more. Considering lunch was included I thought it was really excellent value for money."

Hi Glen. I'm just dropping you a note to say how much I enjoyed the course today. You answered all my questions and gave me the confidence to go out and use my camera properly.
Today has turned my box of expensive gadgets into top class photography equipment. Thanks!
Barry Cunliffe
This has been a great photography course and I know I can now take proper photographs instead of just snaps.
Highly Recommended.
Ivan Last
A Fantastic Course. I now know how to use all the functions on the camera I didn't even know were there. I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot.
