City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Digital Image Capture

& City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Location Photography 

The City & Guilds of London are an industry recognised examination and awards body that is particularly favoured by employers in Design and Photography.

The only internationally understood visual language is photography.  A picture is often said to be worth a thousand words so as a means of communication, photography is second to none.  If you hope to work in photography or any part of the design or media industries, these qualifications are an important stepping stone to success. 

For others, photography is an essential life skill, not only at work but also socially.  Each Certificate is a GCSE equivalent so photography students will complete the course with two GCSE equivalents (A-C)

Any student with an interest in the visual media will gain from this course.  It is also useful in any combination of subjects from Art to P.E. and will give you skills that will enhance your learning in other subjects.

Students will learn:

• The use and care of digital camera equipment and related accessories
• Lighting indoors
• Post-capture image production
• Presentation and storage of digital images

They will produce:

• Portfolio of images from a variety of subjects

At the end of Year 10, students will be awarded their first certificate, with the second awarded at the end of Year 11.  Assessment is by means of an assignment for each certificate carried out and assessed during the summer term.
