Before you start your tutor will contact you to welcome you and, if you’re new to Learn Now, help you understand what study will be like. They’ll also clarify how and when they can be contacted, and how quickly they will respond to you.

Once you’ve started your tutor will mark and provide feedback on your assignments and support your progress throughout the course.

It would be recommended to have a camera which can be altered to manual mode with a RAW format. You will also need access to a printer.

It would also be beneficial to have access to lightroom, photoshop or capture one. You can normally sign up to a free trial with these to begin with.
