2. Fee and what it includes

The fee is ₹36,000 for the complete 30-day intensive, including food and accommodation for the month, all five modules, and the practical shoots.

The complete fee structure and payment options are confirmed in writing before any payment is taken. Refunds are covered separately in our Refund Policy.

TO CONFIRM — payment terms
Is the fee payable in full up front, or in instalments? Is a deposit required to hold a seat, and is that deposit adjustable against the fee? State it here.

3. Equipment

Students are encouraged to bring their own camera, lenses, gimbal, laptop, batteries and memory cards. Centre equipment is available during class hours for those who do not have their own. You are responsible for your own equipment while at the centre, and for any damage you cause to centre equipment through misuse.

4. Attendance

The course is practical and sequential, so sessions missed cannot easily be repeated. The certificate is issued on completing the full 30 days.

5. Certificate

Students who complete the course receive a Certificate of Participation in the Cinematography, Video Editing and Colour Grading Masterclass, issued by SVM Photography. It is a record of attendance and completion. It is not a degree, diploma, or a qualification accredited by any university or government body, and it is not represented as one.

6. No guarantee of work or income

We do not promise employment, freelance work, clients, or any level of income. What the course provides is training and a finished, graded film of your own work. Outcomes depend on your own effort, practice, attendance and the market you work in.

7. Photography and filming at the centre

Sessions, shoots and batch photographs may be recorded and used by SVM Photography to promote the course, including on this website and on social media. Tell a trainer in writing before the batch begins if you do not wish to appear, and we will accommodate that.

8. Conduct

We may ask a student to leave for behaviour that endangers others, damages equipment, or prevents the rest of the batch from learning. Refunds in that situation are governed by the Refund Policy.

9. Changes to batch dates

Batch dates are confirmed on the call before you pay. If we have to move or cancel a batch, we will tell you as early as we can and offer either a place on the next batch or a refund.

10. Liability

Practical sessions involve equipment and outdoor locations. Students take reasonable care of their own safety and property. Our liability is limited to the fee you paid.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Hubballi, Karnataka have jurisdiction.
