Choice of Certificates

This is where I am carefully looking at which CG7512 certificate that I study towards, so that I can apply what I have learnt doing the module(s) in the CG4448 course.


There are two certificates:



7512-93 Level 3 Certificate in Photo Image Manipulation and Management
150GLH 21 credits
Unit 308 Photo image management 60 8
Unit 309 Photo image storage 30 5
Unit 215 Digital Image Manipulation 60 8


and 

7512-93 Level 3 Certificate in Business Skills for Photo Imaging Industry
150 GLH 19 credits
Unit 201 Introduction to the photo imaging industry 30 4
Unit 302 Working in the photo imaging industry 60 7
Unit 303 Business practice for the photo imaging industry 30 4
Unit 304 Legislation for the photo imaging industry 30 4

Both these certificates contain elements that I could use for the CG4448 course.

Above is an example of a module criteria that I will produce for each module, to help me track what I am doing and how this will suit this course

Plan B

I had intended to study towards a City & Guilds 4448 Professional Diploma course, but unfortunately, work and money are the deciding factors, so for at least for now, I will work on this level 3 course, until work and funding picks up.
