Core Classes
Classes are held at each Mike's Camera store location, and run continually throughout the year. They run approximately two hours in length and class size is limited to approximately 20 students.
If you purchased your new camera from us you’re entitled to two complimentary core classes; the promo code is printed in your Perfect Picture Pak. After that the cost of each class is just $59 per person.
As classes tend to present general overviews on a given source of subject matter, please be aware that not every function specific to your particular camera may be included as a defining element of the class. We do highly encourage you to bring along your camera and any photos you've taken that you'd like to get feedback on from your instructor.
Seminars
Offered throughout the year on a variety of topics and disciplines, our seminars are typically presented by an all-star lineup of world-class industry influencers and expert instructors. These events tend to be conducted in an auditorium style setting and are typically held off-site at a variety of venues across the markets we’re located in.
