Giuseppe was a very accommodating teacher who I enjoyed meeting. The content of the course was limited - which was good. Otherwise there would be too much to take in. It was a shame Giuseppe's lap top battery ran out so we could not analyse the photos we took.

Philip is amazing. Super knowledgeable and patient. Its amazing the research and prep that he puts into his teaching class. I'm very impressed and hope my last class is scheduled with him. From my discussion with other students, I believe he's their favourite as well.

It would be better to have the theory part presented in a classroom instead of a bar.

We covered light but not focus

Everything about the course was excellent!

Brett was very knowledgeable and inspiring with cameras. He answered every questions and the rare times he couldn't answer the questions, he would research the answer and teach the group.

Alnoor is a very knowledgeable instructor.

I absolutely loved the 4 courses taught by Alnoor and will definitely take more in the near future!

He is a fantastic teacher, really cares about your learning and is an expert in what he is teaching. He is a good communicator of the material and gets you outside practicing and gives feedback to ensure you understand the material. Would 100% recommend the course based on his teaching.

Our instructor once again was excellent. I believe his name was James though

I honestly didn’t believe I would be able to shoot in manual mode, but the course and teacher made it so easy to learn I was really impressed.

Compared to the other tutor, Paul (I was with Classes 1-3), this was a below par, very disappointing 4 Lesson. We spent almost the entirety of the lesson in a noisy Cafe and very heavy on theory and only 10/15 mins doing practice outside at the end. Also reading the class notes afterwards there were portions that we did not even cover. There was also a clear difference in a wide knowledge of other camera brands so often I was told to look it up myself.

My courses have been cancelled on numerous occasions and as I wanted to complete the courses before a trip I had to ask for my last 2 courses to take place on 1 day. 2 courses that were originally due to take 2.5 hours each were crammed into one 2.5 hour session. I don't believe the Photo Academy is good value for money, I am very disappointed with the amount of money I have paid for courses to be cancelled at short notice and I wasn't able to actually have a photo course for over 2 months due to cancellations. If the instructor didn't do such a good job in the short time frame I would definitely be asking for a refund.

Thank you Michael

I only attended the last course of the series, but wish I had taken all four. Adeel was a great teacher, giving lots of examples to clarify the theory that he presented. I also felt welcome and comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. The course exceeded my expectations and I had a lot of fun!

No communication on the day to confirm it was still taking place. The bond had already been built with 3 people and tutor and I turned up having followed them round various eating/drinking places in the rain I felt a million years behind the group in skill and relationship building. Tutor did not have a knowledge of my camera or make an effort to. Within 5 minutes of the class I was told the class wasn't right for me. it made for a very awkward afternoon overall.

Oscar was our instructor for all 4 courses. He accommodated everyone needs and ensures all our questions were answered. I loved getting out and walking the streets in the neighbourhood. He was always making sure we understood what our objective was for the exercise we were doing. Really enjoyed the course

I had a great time at the course. Oscar is a fantastic teacher, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. There was a nice mix of theory and practical elements. Thanks Oscar!

More dates to choose from would be advisable

Poor teaching environment, too noisy, I hardly can hear the teacher speak.

The length of the course is too long even if they were interesting and Alnoor did speak loud enough to hear him with the ambient noise (music, people speaking...)

I think this instructor was the very best, I have taken 3 classes with him and I would definitely recommend him as an instructor. He was patient and took extra time with me to make sure I understood the information as I have a hearing loss and he was very sensitive to that, THANKS

Share some theory instructions upfront, because we have nothing on paper to reflect on. Listen to each questions and take the questions seriously.
