WHY CHOOSE US?
What other training centre can you attend that has gained approval for their courses from the British Institute of Professional Photographers, as well as Skillset (the Sector Skills Council for the Audio Visual Industries).
We know of no other course out there that offers 2 tutors with groups greater than 5 in number on all landscape and digital courses meaning you will receive more personalised tuition. We also have a comfortable 15 seater minibus allowing lots of space and room whilst travelling from location to location.

Our tutors are professional photographers with published books behind them. We understand that in group situations some photographers may be unwilling to ask questions, due to shyness. Our philosophy to teaching is being proactive and our tutors will rally round you ensuring you are understanding every step of the course. However at some points throughout the day, we will allow you freedom to venture out and develop your own creativity.

The Peak District Photography Centre, is based in the beautiful Peak District National Park and employs a team of professional and specialist teaching photographers. Please view TUTORS for more information. We run courses in camera use, landscape, portraiture and wedding photography and are dedicated to providing first class tuition to those photographers either considering the move into digital photography, or those already using the technology but who feel that they would benefit from professional guidance. However, film users benefit from any landscape course as this is field based and attracts both film and digital clients.

The Peak District Photography Centre has been approved by the British Institute of Professional Photography BIPP as a centre for the delivery of Continuing Professional Development courses. We have also been aproved by Skillset, The Sector Skills Council for the Audio Visual Industries SKILLSET
