After registering for a photo course, you will receive an email confirming the precise meeting point. Sometimes, to ensure a better learning experience for everyone or to coordinate around a significant and interesting event, we may alter the meeting location after you have registered. If this happens, we will provide notice of at least 48 hours; the new site will be within 500 m of a subway station in or near the city centre.
You may cancel your registration and receive a full refund so long as your initially-scheduled photography course is no less than four weeks from the date of the request.
You may reschedule your enrollment once, no less than seven days from the date of your initially-schedule course.
We want to ensure that you fully understand the materials covered in our photography courses. If you aren’t completely satisfied with your learning experience, please let your instructor know immediately after your workshop concludes. We’re more than happy to address any points of confusion on the spot or to offer you the opportunity to repeat the photography workshop on a future date (pending availability).
Exposure Therapy’s Toronto-based photo courses are quite unique when compared to the traditional college academic photo programs in Canada. Typically, the academic courses offered by college programs involve a lengthy admission process and adherence to a strict schedule and substantial time commitments. For example, the photo program at Ryerson University is a four-year bachelor degree that requires students to take multiple unrelated electives. Some colleges offer students shorter photo programs, but the schedule is just as rigorous (example: every Saturday for two months).
Our approach to the photo program gives students the luxury of a concentrated education with hands-on classes and flexible scheduling that’s offered by traditional academic programs.
Our goal at Exposure Therapy is make photo education simple and accessible for all students. With that in mind, students don’t “apply” and there’s no “admission” process. To get into our classes, view our academic schedule above and select the courses that suit your needs and work with your schedule. Each of the photo classes in our program is up to 3 hours long.
Provided there is availability, you may register for any of our Toronto group photo classes for beginners up to midnight on the night before the class. If you can see a lesson in the calendar, it’s not too late to register.
