Course Aims This NQ award has been designed to provide you with a vibrant and creative experience and assist with the development of your photographic skills.

Course Design The NQ course is a full time course and you will be timetabled 2 ½ days per week. We understand that students have jobs and in order to support their education we try to timetable accordingly. Our NQ students are usually timetabled Monday, Tuesday, 1/2 day Wednesday, this allows time for a part time job and also reduces travelling costs. Class sizes are small, usually between 16-18 students, we tell our students they are very spoiled by all the attention they receive!
