Review about: Shaw Academy
Photography Diploma Course
After signing up and completing my first class I am fairly happy with everything. Getting the first module pretty much free of charge, is an incentive to give this a try.
The first introductory class was well paced, provided a reasonable amount of information and provided a good overview.
The post lesson quiz was not too difficult but only covered some of the things discussed in the lesson. Some questions may catch some people out, as they were not related directly to the class, though they were very much on topic.
So far so good.
I have, however, encountered a couple of negatives. Firstly way way too many texts and emails. I think most people could cope with one, or maybe two, class reminders. I don't think there is a need for a count down of reminders.
Secondly costs. Having to pay for intermediate, i.e. module, certificates seems over the top. I could understand the final diploma certificate, but module ones, no.
Further the tool kit cost does seem a bit excessive. Yes, good material in there but a bit dear. Especially if you are on a budget and trying to up skill.
Overall, at this stage, fairly happy with most things.
