Illustrated Tutorial Notes
Illustrated notes are an integral part of our courses. Because lectures tend to have an effect which lasts only a short while, particularly if no notes are taken, we believe our handouts are the key to making your newly gained knowledge much more long-lasting. For this workshop you will receive over 100 pages of illustrated, detailed notes for the course. Also included in the folder is a resource CD with the latest updates for the Canon software that comes with the 600D/550D/1100D.

Lunch and Refreshements

Lunch is included in the fee and tea/coffee and biscuits will be available for you on arrival at the Institute, along with the usual friendly welcome!
