Please, you can say me what courses you have taken and if you should feel to they deserved it. I would like to take a course of advanced photography and advanced photoshop. If they have helped your, tell me the progress you have done. And if they were not profitable, you could be a specific in this aspect. For my part, I have only the formation Nikon but I think to need more...

Thanks

I haven't formally studied photography since I was at school and that was a long long time ago - before anyone had heard of digital, computers or new fangled things such as auto focus.

I have and continue to attend workshops and short courses where I have an interest in the subject.  I have one booked up for next week.  I find these can be very useful if chosen wisely.  The problem is choosing wisely. Some are experts in their field and can pass on invaluable knowledge and help, but there are more out there  who are not  and their courses are often of little value.

I cannot say for different countries - here in the UK the The Royal Photographic Society holds and runs workshops leading to recognised qualifications or purely for leisure purposes and this would be a good place to consider imho.
