Course Overview
This course is a complete diploma-level course designed to help you understand how ghost photos, visual anomalies and experimental imaging techniques really work. Whether you're a paranormal investigator, content creator, or simply fascinated by the subject, this course gives you the knowledge and confidence to capture, interpret and present visual evidence responsibly.
Across seven detailed modules, you'll explore the history of spirit photography, the evolution of paranormal imaging, and the tools used today - from digital and analogue cameras to infrared, full-spectrum, thermal and SLS systems. You'll learn how and why visual anomalies happen, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to recognise when something might be worth a closer look.
You'll also get a clear introduction to instrumental transcommunication (ITC), including video-loop experiments, reflective techniques and modern digital methods. As you move through the course, you'll build practical skills in preparing, reviewing and authenticating visual evidence, understanding metadata, spotting manipulation, and navigating the impact of AI on paranormal imagery.
By the end, you'll have a grounded understanding of the full landscape of paranormal imaging - what's possible, what's unlikely, and what deserves careful investigation - all in straightforward, accessible language suited to all experience levels.
We've put a lot of work in to making sure this course is useful, but if you sign up and find it's not what you expected, then get in touch and we'll fully refund you, no questions asked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a recognized qualification?
Unfortunately, due to the unknown nature of the paranormal, no qualifications in this field are academically recognized. Even if they were, they would be of little interest to prospective employers. However, we've worked hard to put together a course that is designed to help you widen your knowledge and give beginners the confidence to go out and get involved in the paranormal.
Do I need any special equipment to take this course?
No. You don't need to own thermal cameras, full-spectrum gear or SLS systems to follow the lessons - everything is explained in clear, accessible language. If you do have equipment already, the course will help you understand it properly and use it more effectively.
Is this course suitable for beginners?
Yes. The course is written for all ability levels, from complete beginners to experienced investigators. It avoids jargon, introduces each topic step-by-step, and focuses on practical understanding rather than technical assumptions.
Will this course teach me how to capture real images of ghosts?
The course doesn't promise paranormal results. Instead, it teaches you how cameras behave, why anomalies appear, how to reduce false positives and how to assess any unusual images you capture. The aim is to give you the skills to document and interpret evidence responsibly.
When can I access the course material and for how long?
Once you enroll on this course you will get instant access to the course material. A summary of modules and lessons can be seen in the course curriculum above. You have unlimited access to this course, even after you have completed your final assessment, allowing you to revisit topics whenever you like.
How long does the course take to complete?
The average completion time from the point of purchase to passing the final assessment is 47 hours, but as you have unrestricted access to the course, this is really up to you. While it's possible to work through the course material in a few hours, we recommend taking your time in order to let the information soak in - a few hours per day is ideal.
Each module has an end-of-topic test. It's not a requirement to achieve a certain score in these tests, but your score will give you an indication of the knowledge you've gained during the module and also highlight any gaps. You should then go back and revisit the module to ensure there are no gaps in your knowledge, as you'll need a good understanding of the topic to complete the final assessment, which requires an 80% pass.
Will I receive a certificate?
A digital certificate of achievement you can print yourself will automatically be emailed to those who achieve a grade of 80% or higher in the final assessment. There is also the option to have a physical copy posted to you instead, which is normally dispatched within fourteen days of the course's completion. If you fail to achieve the required score, you are able to revisit the course material and try again as many times as you like. Certificates are professionally designed and printed. We hope they will be a keepsake of what we hope will be an enjoyable course.
What is digital accreditation?
As well as a certificate of achievement, a link will automatically be generated that you can share or link to. The web page will include your name and details of the courses you've completed. You can add the link to your website or blog to show that you are qualified in this specialty field.
Can I take the course on a mobile phone?
Our learning dashboard, as well as the rest of our website, is optimized to work on all device types, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smart phones. The fonts are large and clear to make reading the course material on a mobile device as easy as possible.
How do I know if this course is for me?
While we have put a lot of work into making sure this course is useful to everyone and has general appeal, if you find that they're not what you expected for any reason, then get in touch and we'll sort out a full refund for you, no questions asked. See our full refund policy here.
