We know there are many ways to learn photography online, but before you decide which route to take, first consider what you want to get out of your course?
Consider one very important issue before you begin to learn photography online – is tutor support important to you?
If having a mentor to help and advise you on the specific problems you are facing when trying to learn photography is important to you, make sure the course you choose offers this.
90% of online photography courses offer no or little tutor support. This means if you get stuck, there is no help at hand, making it a frustrating learning experience.
IOP® offer more tutor support than any other online photography course experience available on the market today.
Email support
Your friendly and helpful tutor is only an email away. Students get in touch with their IOP® tutors all the time for help and advice as well as asking for mentorship when photographing events and occasions. We had a student recently who was photographing a live gig. The tutor was able to give them advice in advance so their results were the best they could be on the night.
Live chat
You can contact your tutor at any time, but it helps our students to know that a tutor will be on the course platform, live, for two dedicated hours per week. The tutor simply sits on the platform, in the live chat section, and waits for students to come to them with any problems or issues they have been experiencing in learning photography.
Forum tutors
We have two dedicated tutors who solely look after our forum, give feedback on practice assignments and answer general questions. This is an invaluable resource and helps to develop your photography skill quickly and effectively.
Weekly and monthly tutor projects
Learning photography is all about practice and feedback. Get involved with the tutor projects, send your photos in for feedback and learn new skills every week with IOP®.
Feedback past completion
This is perhaps the greatest benefit of all – even when you are finished one of our courses, you can still get in touch with your tutor for help and advice. Remember, you have access to your course and tutors indefinitely, providing you log in at least once per year to keep your account active. How’s that for value?
If you want to learn photography online, enrol on the Advanced Diploma in Photography for the most in-depth course and feedback that IOP® offer.
