FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A DSLR or Mirrorless camera would be most suitable to follow along with our photography courses. If you have a smartphone or compact camera you will find that some of the lessons aren’t fully compatible with such devices.

Any DSLR camera will be adequate to learn photography and try out the tutorials featured in the course. Using the standard lens that comes with a DSLR camera will be enough to help try out the techniques in the modules.

All of our DofE eligible courses contain photo editing lessons using Adobe Photography. If you wish to follow these tutorials you will need a copy of Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) 2017 or later.

Versions of Photoshop earlier than 2017 or Photoshop Elements may not be 100% compatible with the course.

A subscription to Adobe Photoshop and the software is not included in this course. You will need to sign up separately with Adobe here.

Your course will be assessed by an end of module/section multiple choice test.

There are 10-30 questions to answer per test and you’ll need to reach at least a 70% success rate before you can move on to the next module/section. But don’t worry, if you fail a test, you can repeat it.

All of your test scores are averaged out at the end of the course to form your final mark. This is presented on a free downloadable certificate to show that you have completed your approved course.

Once you have completed your course your iPhotography training assessor will automatically update your eDofE account to reflect your course graduation. This assessors report will also be sent to you via email for your records.

You must register for one of our approved Duke of Edinburgh photography courses through the special link where you can enter your eDofE number. Without this eDofE number we will not be able to update your eDofE account or send you an assessors report automatically.

Please contact your iPhotography course assessor if you accidentally make this error.

All our courses are self-paced, which means you can fit them in around your other activities. You’ll have your own private log in to access your course whenever you need.

We find that studying around 1 hour per week should keep you on track, depending upon your DofE Award requirements. Our approved course modules have enough content to complete the skills section of your Bronze, Silver or Gold level award, but see individual courses below for award eligibility.

The flexibility of self-paced learning teaches you to manage your time based on the requirements of your award level. It also means that if you have a busy week with exams, work or holidays then you can take a week off and make up for it when you’re free.

Once you have completed a course you will be able to download your course completion certificate for your own records.

The AAP Manager for iPhotography will email you a copy of your Assessor’s Report for completing this skill activity. This report will also be submitted directly to your online eDofE account, providing you entered your eDofE ID number and Award level correctly upon course registration. Please allow up to 72 hours for this process to be completed.

You will still retain lifetime access to the course material. You can continue to upload your work into our student gallery. If you have any further questions or issues please contact [email protected]
