MUGSHOTS SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY CERTIFICATION TRAINING
Tuition Fee: $ 895.00
Date: Oct 3-5th and Nov 8-10, 2010
Location: Marin County, CA
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our Fall sessions are the most exciting and educational on-site learning experience possible. Not only will you learn “theory” you will also participate in actual “on the job” training with our excellent photography team. Due to the high demand and resource requirements of this fast paced and amazing opportunity there are only 6 spots available for each session. We highly recommend extending your visit to include as many on-site days as your schedule allows. (Think wedding assisting, no matter how good the photographer, you don’t know how to REALLY photograph a wedding until you have worked a number of them).
Tuition includes: 3 days of intense, hands-on training necessary to become a Mugshots Certified Photographer. Join the Mugshots team, headed by Linda Russell, as we share with you how to transform school photography in your community using our creative, proven and profitable model.
Mugshots certified photographers will also be able to participate in all web-based educational resources as well as teleconferences and online coaching. Consider us your “back-pocket team” in the school photography business.
