    Class was a very fun and informative experience. Also, the instructor was awesome! I had a great experience, although at the same time, I feel like we could’ve accomplished a little bit more within the 2 days.

    Sisa, the instructor, was very friendly, open and knowledgeable in her approach to the class. She seemlessly applied the students’ questions to the coursework she already established. Her patience and care was phenomenal. Very rare these days. I am grateful for the experience and feel more prepared to explore my next steps. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    The class was amazing. The instructor explained everything really well, answered all questions and made sure we walked away with how to operate a camera!

    A solid overview with pertinent materials and practical hands on use of cameras and equipment. Josh, the Instructor, was knowledgeable and certainly qualified, having made several documentary films himself. My only critique is I would have liked a little more help trying to download our practice shoot onto my computer (not in troubleshooting my computer but in the basics of how to use the hard drive as I have never used one before). Overall, a great introductory course in camera fundamentals.

    Loved this class! Just as interactive as you want it to be. Makes you feel confident of holding and working with a professional camera. I just wish there was more time allocated to using the camera. Besides that, great class!

Hi there! They can provide a certificate of completion after the workshop. They do not normally say how many hours, but if necessary, the instructor can add the duration of the workshop to the certificate. Thank you.
