WPS Training Recordings 2021

2020-21 Training programme

About the training programme

WPS runs a wide range of classroom training events with qualified tutors.

These courses for our members are great value because they are subsidised by the Society.

Topics range from camera settings for beginners, to the inner details of Lightroom.

When and where

Because of Covid-19, training courses have been held online this season
