'Thank you so much for a fantastic course. Really worthwhile - I'm sort of kicking myself for not having done a course like that earlier. Christine was excellent. God does she know her stuff! Can't wait to get my hands on a 570 now. Actually I might hire/borrow one for the day and get more practice in.'

Shooting and Directing with the PD150 testimonies
'Excellent. To my shame, I'd never shot anything before. It was very empowering to be given very clear information about focusing and exposure, and to see that I could start to get relatively decent shots...'
Jenny Morgan
'Very well organised. Tutors well prepared. Excellent attitude, positive, encouraging but also challenging. Sound/audio teaching was so good with illustrations on tape and in exercises. Noisy room shooting exercise was brilliant. Loved the accompanying notes and support from Christina'
Deborah Kingsland
'Very clear and organised. Very informative'
Diene Petterle
'An extremely well structured course that covered all areas in an easy to understand format. Christina answered the groups' questions and tried to keep everything basic and not too overly technical. I really enjoyed the exercises and found my strengths and weaknesses...I feel so much more confident now, and can honestly say I have a good understanding of a PD150 - horray!'
Andrea Pearce
'Great notes to accompany course - will be very useful in times of panic! Feel like I'm sure of the theory with a PD150 - now its just getting the practice..Thankyou!'
Jane Springthorpe
'Informative and good at building my confidence. Practical exercises extremely useful'
Miranda Glasser
'Very practical, well taught and informal. Also the right number of people. I now feel confident to go and shoot/direct on the PD150'
Victoria Crawley
'This course was well structured and thorough, with lots of visual aid to the theory which really helped. The tutors were friendly and open to questions'
Ros Coward
'The course was very well taught, although there was a lot of ground to cover in a short time. Good balance of theory and practice'
