	Clients who hire photographers seldom need all their photographs taken in a studio setting.  Photographers need to posses  the versatility to shoot “Anywhere-Anytime”.  Shooting on-location seldom had adequate  or even high quality light.  Photographers need to adapt to bad lighting and uncontrolled environments.  Sports, wildlife and architecture photography challenge photographers and their equipment to the limits of their abilities.  This certificate will provide the knowledge to “Get the shot” and still capture maximum vibrancy and minimize noise and distortion.
	Many former students crusing the web page may become interested in joining the certificate program having already taken one or more of the classes.  MPW will give credit for classes already taken or permit them to sit down with our counselor (Bryce) and select other worthy classes and workshops to subsitute.

  Midwest Photography Workshops is instituting nine new certificate programs effective April 1, 2007.  Completion of any of the programs will mean the photographer/artist has demonstrated a mastery of the discipline.  Homework, exams, and the creation and presentation of a portfolio are among the minimum requirements toward the completion of a certificate.

  Each certificate has a core group of classes and workshops designed to provide the student with a complete and diverse educational experience pertaining to that particular certificate.  By enrolling in a certificate program, the student will get approximately a 20% savings in tuition as compared with enrolling in the same classes/workshops individually.

  Earning a certificate will demonstrate to a prospective client or employer, an ability to start and complete a large in-depth project.  The resulting portfolio is an integral tool or proof that the photographer is capable of doing the job.

Prior to enrollment, each student is given an assessment exam to quantify what they know.  The results of this exam is used to customize an academic plan of how best to build upon what the talents and experiences the student already has and deliver the photographic education they need.  Upon completion of the classroom portion of the program, the assessment exam is re-administered to measure the progress achieved.  Finally, an in-depth portfolio review is scheduled.

  Many employers and labor unions such as the UAW offer Tuition Assistance Programs (ETAP).  Midwest Photography Workshops participates in many of these programs. MPW is also a Veterans Administration Vocational approved school.
