Franklin,
From what I recall from our phone conversation, you felt that getting a certificate or other document showing you’ve completed a course of study in photography is what you’d like to receive. Furthermore, you believe such a document would indicate that you’re a professional. And your potential clients would know that you know your job as a professional photographer.
In my opinion, all a certificate or other document showing you’ve completed a course of study in photography shows is that you’ve completed a course of study in photography. And while such a certificate of completion would demonstrate that you studied the subject and have a “passable” knowledge of the subject, such a piece of paper speaks nothing to your professionalism or ability to create appropriate photographs for the market you’d like to work.
I wholeheartedly believe that people will hire you based on your work (photographs), your understanding of your client’s needs, and your ability to fulfill those needs for a price they’re willing to pay and is profitable for you.
