Mentoring |
Mentor Me Programme
We have many benefits of membership, one of these being our invaluable
‘Mentor Me’ program through which you receive a one to one appraisal of
your work and advice for progression. Once you are a member, all reports include recommendations for participation in
training programmes pertinent to your professional development and it
doesn’t just stop at reaching your Licentiateship. In fact, that is only
the beginning on a journey of life. A great opportunity to have help
from leading practitioners in the photographic industry.
Why struggle when help is at hand? Our Mentoring team are here to give
you first class advice on your imagery and help you to create the very
best images for your clients and lead to qualifications.
Members are requested to complete our online form for mentoring. Once
completed you will be directed to our MailBigFile upload facility, this
will substantially speed up uploads for our members.
