You are required to attend 24 hours per week. The school is open Monday through Thursday.
Day hours are from 10AM to 4PM and evening hours are from 5PM to 11PM.
Question: When can I start the program if I choose to enroll?
Because our program is modularly designed, you can start every other Monday that is not a major U.S. holiday. Start date schedules are available from the admissions office.
Question:What is modular training?
Modular training here means, you are basically in a class by yourself.
It's as if you go to work with an instructor guiding, counseling, and continually critiquing your progress.
Question: Is there any classroom work?
Yes, printing, developing, and other lab work as well as some assignments are done at the school.
Question: Who are the instructors?
OSOP uses only professionals. Our instructors must have several years experience in their field before we will even consider hiring them.
Question: What happens if I have to miss class?
Of course, we don't want you to be absent, however we realize that there may be an occasion arise that causes you to miss class.. illness, family, etc.. If this happens, you simply pick up your assignments where you left off. You must of course adhere to the attendance policy.
Question: Is there any homework?
Yes, because Photography requires a variety of subjects and lighting conditions there will usually be an assignment given each week to be completed over the weekend, although some assignments will be completed during normal class hours.
Question: How good is the schools job placement assistance?
Excellent. Our placement rate is always very high... and has been that way for over 32 years. We believe there are several factors for this high placement rate:
OSOP is known for graduating well-trained, qualified people. Longevity and quality are two reasons employers continually call us for our graduates.
Our job placement staff works extremely hard helping place our graduates. They help students prepare their portfolios, compose their resumes, and provide them with current leads to employers seeking OSOP graduates.
