This course looks very deep. I have a few questions:

How does it differ in assignments from the beginner course? I'm assuming there are no actual wedding photo assignments. So is this strickly classroom work?

Yes, obviously we cannot send students out to shoot weddings for assignments. Because of the nature of the course it is strictly a classroom work with the assistance of professional wedding photographer happy to discuss any topic in greater detail.

Thank you for your kind words and support LensBaby and Joseph!

The course is set up as a tutorial with graded test and quiz questions as a memory refresher. Since we issue a Certificate upon its completion, a student must achieve at least 80% success mark.
