hi all, i thought i would take this opportunity to warn people about some fake photography courses on the internet. there used to be a website called the national home study college which has taken lots of peoples money (including mine) offering diploma courses in photography amongst other courses, they have now been liquidated, have changed address and now have a website called national home diplomas. these people are robbers, you will never see a diploma and even if by some miracle you do, it is fake and worthless. please do not give money to these people and waste your valuable time studying for a qualification that does not exist. one of the directors has already been prosecuted for handing out a fake doctorate. i have reported these people to trading standards and am waiting for a reply.

The piece of paper is always secondary to the instruction. Good instruction gives you the tools to progress, to identify problems and to deal with them. You should at least end up with a good portfolio. The paper without the instruction is worthless if it undermines your confidence or fails to deliver better understanding and skills.

Well done on posting a useful reminder - be careful what you buy and when you do use a credit card so you can claim your costs back from the bank... ;-)
