Photography courses

[john185k]

Thought i would come to you guys for advice.

I am a complete novice, however over the last 10 months I have found something i have a great passion for and the first thing i have ever really enjoyed doing. however as stated, i do not really know what i am doing. At the moment, my shots are just point and shoot.

Does anyone recommend any courses that someone could do in their part time to enhance their skills. i want something challenging, and something that will earn me a qualification at the end of it. I'm not scared of hard work and willing to do whats needed. it will need to be part time.

Cheers for any advice and help.

P.s. I am based in edinburgh, if that makes a difference.

Check out your local colleges etc. I go to night school at the mo. It's an advanced digital photography, non-exam course. (The GCSE/A level etc courses were all on days I couldn't do.)

It's certainly made me think a lot more about taking pictures and I'm learning more each week.
