Welcome to the Distinctions Group

This group meets to encourage, advise and support members wishing to obtain qualifications or distinctions from national and international photographic organisations.

A number of the group members have distinctions, and are able to share their experiences to date, while working to obtain higher grades.

Advice is also available about the timetable of reviews and assessments offered by the various organisations.
