I might sound stupid but i'm going to ask all you guy's/ladies because you are all a lot older than me and will have a lot more knowledge in the work area. I have seen a course online to do with Photoshop for £9.99 when it should be £200. I have always wanted to do a job in photo editing industry and i saw this course and i thought it would help me out but at the end of the course when you have finished you get a certificate saying what you have achieved not a qualification, i'm just wondering if the certificate would help you out a little to show your employee on what your capable of doing, or would they not really care

If you are looking to save money I would suggest downloading GIMP which is a free and opensource photo editing software. There are tons of video on youtube on how to use it.

In all honesty, certificates certainly improve odds however, it all goess down to portfolios & past experiences. I turned up to an interview with no qualifications, no certificates & genuinely no experience. However, I taught everything myself by myself. I landed the job solely by the fact my portfolio was "outstanding" and "very creative" as well as "different". The only reason I no longer work there was because my designs where going to waste, I was stuck doing things that could literally be done in PowerPoint, not to mention no skill in coding. The thing is most designing companies are the same. Whereas photo edits are more wanted (weddings, funerals amongst other special occasions) it is also a very saturated market for that. My advice; contact someone willing to build a portfolio throughout the years and stay committed. You could also start your own business from this.
