10 Reasons to Choose an IOP® Online Photography Course

Here are 10 reasons to choose the Institute of Photography (IOP®) – the best online photography courses you can enrol on. 

We are the No.1 provider of online photography courses in the UK with over 20,000 students. This means you are joining an active and supportive community that will help you grow into a better photographer. 

Flexible study times that fit around your life. As long as you log in to your account at least once per year, you have lifetime access to your course/s. That means you can study when you want, learn when you want and become a better photographer on your own schedule.

We specialiseThere are lots of online course providers to choose from but IOP® specialise only in photography. We don’t offer hundreds of different courses on subjects like dog grooming, nutrition or marketing. We only do photography and that makes us experts. So for you, as an IOP® student, you know that you are learning from a company fully focused on your chosen area of study – photography.

Study options. We are the only online photography course provider to offer you so many options once you have completed your first course with us.
