A well relaxed environment in which all questions were answered fully and with simple examples. The content was spot-on. This is my first course with CODP, it is certainly the best course I have attended. I will be back for more, mre and more.

Do I need an external flash to attend this course?
Udo Kieslich 16 week(s) ago
Hi Mariene, thanks for your enquiry. It is not essential that you have an external flash unit for the Impact course, but it does help. On lesson 3 we spend the whole lesson looking at how these flash units work as well as how to get the most out of them.
Thanks,
Udo

Do you perhaps have a sister organisation in Cape Town where I can do this course? (Taking a fat chance). Content looks great.
Frank Krummacher 11 week(s) ago
Hi Rainer, thanks for your enquiry. We don't currently have a presence in Cape Town, but are making preparations to establish ourselves there. At the moment there is no definite time frame for this, but we are looking at the first quarter of 2011.
If there is anything else that we can do to help in the interim please give us a shout.

No ways! Surely I will be enrolling for any available photographic course you can think of . Not when I've noted the last two courses what great impact they have made in my photos. Especially for us ex studends with such a "mouth watering discount".

Any chance this course will be offered on a wkend?
Udo Kieslich 4 day(s) ago
Hi Claire,
Thanks for your enquiry. If we have enough demand then we'd definitely look at setting a date for a Saturday Impact course. Please can you contact the College on 086 11 PHOTO with your details and we can add you to our database so we can notify you if this happens?
Thanks,
Udo
