British Academy of Photography Bewertungen 

So far the course has been amazing, the tutors are very helpful and reply fast and the work has been a great learning experience for me.

I have undertaken the full Hons Degree BAPH has to offer and right from the onset I can see that this is a comprehensive way towards a future in getting better at photography from a practical and theory stand point. My experience is that of in class learning and the tutors are fantastic, share loads of anecdotal examples and encourage the use of the camera in each class.
This course might not be for those just looking to improve their photography skills in general as there is essay writing and research work involved even if you are doing the diploma or any of the HC/HND level of the course. This is a complete package where you actually studio photography as a discipline and use the historical precedent and practices to then accurately critique and improve your own work. There is a fair bit of reading of journals, papers and articles involved. So do not expect to just be told some camera hacks like a youtube video to "improve your skills in 10 easy steps" style of environment. This is a genuine and fully equipped qualification which will push you forward mentally within the world of photography. It is absolutely right up my street.
The online tutor who marks the assignments are quick in answering questions and marking assignments. Feedback is good and with this being an arts degree, there is a lot of subjectivity in feedback and opinions but that is par for the course.
I have made some good connections with my peers in my class group and we are talking to each other on social media and looking out for each others work. We look forward to the end of class photo sharing session where the tutor brings up the photos we may have taken during classes or in between classes in our own time to critique them and improve on them.
The assignments do require time and effort, however to me its enjoyable as I learn about new photographers, the history of how certain techniques or technology came about and how I can implement it in my practice.
I'm very pleased I signed up to the course through BAPH and look forward to the next sessions.

I'm currently slowly making my way through the course and so far I have had a lot of positive and helpful comments from those that I have interracted with.

Before making the decision to embark on the course, I had phone conversations and e-mail exchanges with some very helpful staff members. My course tutor is very prompt with any queries I have, as is she with marking assignments and presenting me with decent feedback. I recently had a courtesy call to see how all is going, which is lovely.

The only criticism I have is that there could be more clarity on the briefs given. I do find that I amr eading them over and over to make sure I have understood it 100% before going back with multiple e-mails to the tutors. It just needs time and dedication is all, but overall, this is a good route in for someone that's maybe never picked up a camera before, or like myself, wanting to refresh and take it more seriously.

I am at the very beginning stages of the course, with a long way to go, so I do hope that the helpful attitude and check-ins continue..

The HND at the BAPH covers a wide range of photography genres, with challenging assignments for all of them. The tutors are supportive and keep pushing your boundaries throughout the course and on the assignment's feedback and are always available for extra support when needed.
There are studio days organized by the academy and although these could occur more often, they provide valuable experience with a wide range of equipment.

BAPH offered a good variety of courses, but It was the one-year course Post Grad Diploma, with a recognised accredited qualification that interested me the most. The syllabus looked really varied, stretching but with a logical flow and included the history of photography which I had never studied before.
The opportunity to study fairly close to home with fortnightly face to face classes in Salford and the ability to receive hands on support via an experienced Photographer/Tutor was a really key part of my decision making, plus the ability to share knowledge, best practice and learn with other students was really appealing and the main selling points
I look back with a huge sense of pride and satisfaction, my knowledge, skills, planning and ideas are so much better now than they were before I started. I’d like to think my pictures are better too!
I would certainly recommend the Post Grad Dip to friends or other students looking to gain a professional photography qualification, so many new skills to learn, to support future opportunities in the field of Photography

I signed up for an online HND in engineering years ago, and got no meaningful support, however, this course from BAP is worlds apart from that.
The website has lots of useful information, support and is well structured (although the previous website was definitely much better and easier to navigate). It is easy to see what you need to do and support via the Forum, emailing tutors (who respond quickly) and the Facebook group.
I was invited to a video tutorial and have also had a call asking how I am finding the course, which I think is pretty good... Thank you BAP Team!
The final amazing thing about the course is the price... The price is spot on and absolutely right and a totally affordable way to work towards and HND or Degree in photography.
However... you will have to work hard and put a lot of effort into it, and I am very challenged by the Assignments... it is going to be a long haul!
