Time for a catch-up; awards

For those new to me, I’ve been studying towards being a PhD (Level 8) candidate in Photography at some point in my life.

It’s now time for an update on my studies;

  • Starting with, in 2015, completing my Diploma in Photography (Level 4);
  • Following on by, in 2017, Degree in Media Production (Level 5);
  • Then in 2018, Advanced Diploma in Photography (Level 5) and Platinum and Palladium Printing (Level 4);
  • Resulting in the summer of 2019, graduating from the University of Plymouth with a BA (Hons) in Photography (Level 6).
  • November 2019, qualified as a First Aider, QNUK Award, 3-day Emergency First Aid at Work training.
  • I’m currently studying the Award in Education and Training (AET) at Level 3, then if all goes well graduation around Easter in 2020, which means I will be a qualified Level 3 teacher.
  • Then a break from studying for personal projects, until September 2020, to start my Masters (MA) in Photography (Level 7).
  • I’m so humbled to announce, that I have just been awarded by my peers, at the Royal Photographic Society, my LRPS at my first submission.

Now I’m a Qualified First Aider

I PASSED, approximately 90% (Grade to be confirmed).

I’m now a qualified First Aider, QNUK Award, 3-day Emergency First Aid at Work training.

I hope I don’t need these skills, but if you’re on one of my photo walks, workshops or photography experiences, you have the comfort that a trained first aider is on hand at all times.

A big thank you to Evince training, I would recommend their training courses to anyone or business, really knowledgeable and friendly guys, Thank you, see you in a year for my refresher, if not before.

Attend any of my photography workshops

If you attend any of my photography workshops, whether in the classroom or exploring our beautiful planet, be assured I take your safety seriously.

Already holding my Emergency First Aid at work certificate, I’m today enhancing my First Aid training with Evince Training Limited to a higher level, a 3-day First Aid at work course, to include such topics, what to do if you broke your leg or have an eye infection while in the middle of our stunning Exmoor National Park.

I’ve asked for a custom first aid kit to be designed for us, to deal with photography eventualities that I will be trained for; for example we are standing in an Exmoor stream you wash your hands, then splash your face as it’s a hot day, but you get a foreign body in your eye.
