Photo Imaging Competence Qualification

Diplomas in Photo Imaging Competence are qualifications designed to assess the work-based competence of somebody in the photo imaging industries. Replacing the Photo Imaging NVQs, these Diplomas are available at Levels 2, 3 and 4. They cover all aspects of the industry, from professional photography and image manipulation to minilab retail and asset archiving.

To gain one of these qualifications, you must have a placement or full-time or part-time job while studying. You will be assessed on the job, and will gather evidence to support your performance.

These Diplomas are awarded by City & Guilds. To see the structure and options available in these Diplomas, please click the links below.
