Introduction

This is the first level of Distinction awarded. The Licentiateship is open to all members of The Royal Photographic Society. Non-members of The Society may also apply but if they are successful, the Distinction will not be approved until they have become Members.

The Licentiateship is awarded either for competence in practical photography, or by passing an appropriate examination in photography recognised by The Society
