Courses

Options
I would love to take up digital photography course somewhere. I live in kent and have looked at art college but the fees are more then i could afford I think the course is 2 years long and the fees are nearly £1500 with materials. Is there any help you can get with fee's? or loans etc?.

Also i am not sure where else in kent does photography course and what age you have to be and what requirements are needed.

I only have 1 gcse so i do not know if that would stop me from taking up a course in photography.

    All i can think of is a carer development loan.
    I addition sometimes there is help if you dont have 5 gcses at grade C and above, but that depends on the college.

    Would you be on any state benefits at all, sometimes you can get help that way.
    A friend of mine did photography some yours ago at Guildford college, nowhere near you tho.
    Debt free and plan on staying that way!!!!

  • You should take a look in your library as every year there is usually a paper published giving details of all adult education/community courses in the area, I'm sure you would find a suitable course that way, otherwise there might be courses (GCSE/A level) starting in september at your local college covering photography. Usually courses run in local schools(eve) or community centres. If you are on income support you can usually get the courses free
