We are delighted to welcome DofE students to Click. We've been teaching and assessing young photographers for the DofE since 2013 and Click Photography Workshops is the longest established provider of face-to-face photography tuition for children and teenagers in the UK: working in schools, afterschool and weekend clubs from our base in Teddington.
A little bit about Click
|
|
Formed in 2007 and based in West London, we teach from Year 6 to A Level. Our founders, Philip & Sheridan, are award winning editorial photographers with 25 years of shooting experience for clients as varied as Vogue, Channel 4, O2, and The Telegraph
|
All Click courses are designed to get students out and shooting immediately. We do care about technique and we teach darkroom and complex Dslr skills as well as advanced Photoshop for our A level students - but what matters most for new students, and DofE students in
particular, is imagination and self-expression.
Modern cameras and smartphones make it possible for the young photographer to start shooting straight away and we embrace this.
We promise that by the end of the course you WILL be a better photographer
and you'll have skills that will stay with you forever.

This has been a wonderful experience full of opportunity to experiment as well as to display my own character and creativity. I'd definitely recommend this course for anyone interested in getting started with photography or who is looking to further develop their skills.. I will take a lot away from this as I continue my photography !

Find us on the Duke of Edinburgh Website
During the pandemic our DofE provision moved online and we discovered that, in very many ways, teaching via zoom over a prolongued 3 or 6 month period improved the courses we were able to offer and worked really well for our students. The world has opened up again of course and we've resumed face to face for our students in West London, but still believe that the online course is a brilliant way to learn photography. Students take charge of their lives and tackle the weekly lessons whenever it suits
their busy schedules. They are responsible and love the freedom this brings
The entirely remote course is supported by the same dedicated section of the website filled with exciting and stimulating tutorials which students access each week for their assignments.
Click offers 2 pathways for DofE students.
Zoom courses start every week in September and every 2 weeks thereafter.
Remote courses start as soon as you are ready
12 week Bronze / Silver Award £95
24 week Bronze / Silver / Gold Award £190
This course for smartphone or camera includes 3 Zooms sessions, with weekly emailed assignments, continual assessment, feedback, and private student galleries hosted on the Click website. Students receive their weekly assignments on Saturday
morning and file their work to us regularly for feedback and to allow us to create their personal gallery.
We have a dedicated channel for photo uploads from phone or computer.

Our remote course provides a comprehensive introduction to Photography for students who want to progress at their own pace and may not be able to attend weekend zoom lessons. Students access a dedicated DofE space on the Click website to find self contained lessons covering composition, editing, and a variety of themes.
Over 3 months they follow this remote pathway before submitting a portfolio of images for assessment.
Click tutors provide feedback and we will request a mini submission after 6 lessons, to assess progress. We complete the DofE Assessors report that signs students off. It's a little cheaper and designed for students who may find difficulty attending the 3 Saturday morning zoom sessions. The tutorials and support are exactly the same.
Once you've booked we'll register you for the Saturday following the booking date
