What's on the certificate

Built to look good on your wall.

The printed version is the bit you frame. Here's how it's made and what it carries.

1

220gsm premium card

Professionally printed onto premium-grade 220gsm material. Heavier than your usual print — the weight does the talking.

2

Silver foil seal

Embossed with an official iPhotography silver foil seal of authentication. The mark that says this isn't a print-at-home PDF.

3

Your name & course

Your full name, the course you completed, and the modules covered — all printed onto the certificate. Personal proof, not a template.

4

Your final grade

The final percentage grade you achieved across the module tests, recorded on the certificate. Real performance, real number.

5

Posted to your door

Arrives by post within days of you passing the course. No collection, no upload-and-print — we send the physical certificate to you.

6

CPD-approved

Independent CPD certification means the training behind the certificate has been quality-checked against global standards. More on that below.

Why CPD matters

Independent accreditation. Real quality assurance.

The CPD Certification Service provides independent CPD accreditation, compatible with global CPD standards. iPhotography is an Accredited Training Provider, which means our company and our staff have undergone rigorous quality-assurance inspections.

In plain English: an independent body has checked the work and signed off on it. Your certificate isn't self-printed by the people who taught you — it carries someone else's mark of quality.

Thanks ever so much for the course. You are a brilliant teacher (Chris Sale) and the (landscape course) modules were so inspiring and well put together. I do feel I've learned a great deal.

The courses made me join and learn, the gallery helped me improve, the FB group improved my confidence, the Critiques honed my skills and the competitions really showed me what 'good looked like'.

Tony MillsLong-time member

Great course to undertake, I really enjoyed the course content, and even better I really enjoy putting the practice in, to gain a better understanding of landscape photography and come away with some good photos makes it all worthwhile. A must course to complete for anyone.

Hi Stephen, just to let you know Lightroom has been fabulous and I am now a subscription slave. I am really enjoying using it and it has been an interesting experience. Firstly it is like a new lease of life as it has tools, tricks and a user friendly feel that I did not get with Affinity…

Angie VillersLightroom Course

I have really enjoyed doing your excellent free iPhotography course and found it very informative and educational. It has given me a better understanding of the theory of photography together with practical advice…

Arthur TatumFree Course

iPhotography, I could not have done it without the lessons from iPhotography and the advice and examples from the iPhotography family. Still loving the journey. This week is clouds.

Brett LeeLong-time member

The online learning modules are beneficial and helped me develop a better understanding of the settings, angles, exposures, depth of field, focusing on the subject or adding to it within your frame. I recommend it to beginners many times over. Thank you for the experience.

Bruce LowePhotography for Beginners

Really good course, I believe I was the first one to finish it as I had a wedding soon after release of the course. Had no complaints so must have taken the information in.

Joanne HolmesWedding Photography

The (business) course was exceptionally well-structured, covering various aspects of weddings, portraits, and wildlife or safari photography. The branding section was particularly beneficial…

Joanne HolmesBusiness Masterclass

I have taken 7 of your courses and each and every one is excellent. They are very well put together and very understandable. Your Tutors are all excellent and make the courses very enjoyable. I started taking your courses in 2022 and continue to this day. One of the best features for me is the forever access after completing one. I often revert back to be able to refresh my memory.

ArlonMember since 2022

I have always wanted to learn to use a DSLR camera properly, so I used my Virgin Experience retirement present for this iphotography course. I love it. I'm on Module 6 now…

Mai Al HamadDSLR / Beginners

The course was really fun to complete and the option to do it when you liked made it easy for me to complete without being stressed by due dates.
