Cole's Classroom

This has been one of the best investments! I started just with the monthly membership and have spent my off periods/lunch at work watching tutorial videos. My 10 yo son has taken interest in photography because of me being so invested. He now watches the videos with me on occasion and grabs his camera too! I switched to the Insiders group at Christmas and it has really helped push me out to really develop the busines side of my photography. I am so glad I joined this group over a year ago!

I signed up for the free webinar and opted into the membership. There's an option to join the *** group and this is a great way to communicate with all members and educators involved with Cole's Classroom. They are also responsive to emails. There are different payment options that have to be selected when you sign up. When I decided I wasn't utilizing the membership as much as I'd like there was even a lesser membership option. There are a lot of great videos and tutorials that make this membership very valuable.

I joined just like everyone else from a Facebook ad! Was skeptical at first but decided ?what do I have to lose? I?m trying to grow and invest in myself. I served in the military for 10 yrs and had no idea what I was going to do after my routine was broken. I had a 6-4 job working in the contracting world with the military and I hated it because 75% of the time I was overseas. Taking pictures was a hobby of my kids but I loved it!! I jammed in as much courses as possible to not have to commit to the monthly bill and it was due able I made it happen! After all my marketing course I posted an ad for Christmas minis to see where it would take me and if these courses and community of mentors worked...after posting my ad I booked 7 families within 24hrs!! At that point I knew where I was suppose to be! I?m now running my business and enjoying my time with my family! Since then I have committed to CC and don?t plan on turning back!! By far one of the best photography course and community I?m apart of!!

Cole's classroom has been instrumental in me becoming a better photographer and a better business owner. The support from group members as well as pro mentors is amazing. For example just this week I posted a question about how to calibrate my computer monitor. Within hours I had a response from a fellow member who lives in my area of an idea for troubleshooting. Another amazing example is that I have been able to network with photographers in my area. In August I met with some of them and we sat and discussed photography and our businesses and then we took pictures of one another. I have a date on the calendar to get back together with these ladies to talk about business plans. We often message one another when we have dilemmas. I did not have this network of people who are willing to help me before I join Cole's classroom. Thank you Cole and team!

People need to get real already, he is upfront that after your 10 day trail you are charged. I have been with this group for going on 4 years and it's the best group ever. Learn so much about photography and have meet some great people in the group. So if u don't read the fine print about the monthly charge then that's on you. But hey you can cancel anytime.

I have been on coles classroom for over a year and I absolutely love it! They have so much to offer and have helped me personally. I had a recent miscarriage and needed help with editing my sweet baby boy and they helped me. Not only do you get support through them but they help you reach out to other amazing photographers who help you on your journey through photography. You guys truly help and inspire me to keep growing my photography business!

Incredible resources and support system for any aspiring or established photographer! The community is like none other and while you am enourmous amount of constructive feedback, it is ALWAYS professional and respectful. There is no tolerance of hateful or condescending behavior. Everyone is here to learn and grow and support each other through it all. The training courses are thorough and there are so many extra resources shared that I never would have expected. My ability to run a business, as well as my photography and editing skills have grown exponentially since joining and I can?t imagine I?ll ever leave Cole?s Classroom.

I joined CC pro because of the wide variety of courses and the support from the pros. They are responsive and invested in helping and it is always beneficial. This is a great resource for us all!

Cole?s Classroom has been an invaluable resource as I?ve ventured into my photography business. The courses offered answer most of my questions and if not there, I know I can always get accurate and professional advice in the Facebook group. Cole is always trying to figure out ways to make this resource relevant, useful, and informative. The group is super supportive and uplifting. I feel so much more confident in my ability to create a profitable business by being part of this amazing community of photographers! Highly recommended!

Love CC!! I'm learning soooo much a out boudoir photography as well as just the basics. So helpful!! I also get a free treat every month. Everyone is helpful and friendly, Love this group!!

Before I became a member of Cole's Classroom, I did the 10 day trial.. but that wasn't enough...I needed to learn more. I signed up for the annual membership and it has changed my life forever. I am now starting my 2nd year with Cole and couldn't be happier. I have gone from being a 40 to 60 hr a week full time nurse to full time photographer. Yes, and a "professional " photographer on top of that. Fully booked every single week of every month. Booked out through July 2019 as of today (3/6/19). It has been worth every penny I have spent with Cole's Classroom... I have earned my annual fee back several times. Did I tell you I also paid for another year, because I love this group and can't get enough .... thanks Cole for sharing your wisdom!!

I signed up for a 10 day trial and decided to stay! Great resource! With Cole's Classroom I have learned enough to take amazing photos.
Cole's is more than a handful of presets or a cheat sheet. Cole's is an amazing experience! If you're looking for a 2 am impulse buy maybe this isn't for you. If you are looking to take your photography to the next level, learn from amazing mentors, be part of a wonderful community, This is the place to be!

Coles Classroom has helped me feel more confident in my photographic skills and has helped me to become a better photographer! My first introduction to Coles Classroom was through their $1.00 trial. My original thought was to soak up as much as I could of their videos and tutorials then cancel, but after my trial period was over, I realized that there was way more for me to learn so paid the money for a yearly membership!! Not only are there videos and tutorials, but there are live broadcasts with one of the mentors of this group almost once a week! I don't always have time to watch the videos or live chats but really enjoy the support I receive from their facebook community! If ever I have a question about equipment, a picture I took, pricing etc... I know that there is an entire community at my fingertips ready and willing to help me push my skills to the next level. I'm proud of my association with Coles Classroom and plan to continue being a member for as long as I continue to take pictures!

This group is amazing. Ive learned so much in such a short amount of time. Im still working another full time day job and I love having the resources to refresh what i've learned previously and continue on. Some day soon this may be my only income to help support my family and it's a comfort knowing I won't be alone when I make that leap. The mentors are so helpful and the community of other photographers has been amazing. This is the real deal and they're very up front about how everything works.

Coles Classroom has fundamentally changed my photography. I went from taking decent photos in auto to photos I am so proud of in manual mode. The community had been amazing and really supportive. Most photography site I find there?s so much competition between members, and I dont find that here. It?s a place to learn and grow and have community! I would recommend it anyone.

Coles Classroom was and is a game changer for me. Since joining I have started my business, studied from home, grown in confidence, had amazing support and made new friends. I'm learning everyday and loving every bit of the new information that is put up all the time. I could never have come this far without CC.

Yes you sign up for a free tutorial and yes they charge you once it's over but it's all up front, you get told your being charged and can stop anytime! I could never have afforded to study at an institution plus I have a son so Coles Classroom is a blessing in my life.

Thank you to the team there and the amazing community they have built within

I spent countless hours looking for photography training on the net and ultimately decided on Cole?s Classroom. I signed up and have not regretted it for a second. I feel like the Backstage Pass episodes are worth the money alone. (Getting to watch a pro photographer work and explain everything in detail that they are doing is amazing). Pretty much all of the negative reviews I see here are from people complaining that they were auto enrolled into the membership ?without them knowing it?. IT IS CLEARY STATED when signing up that if you do not cancel in 10 days you will stay enrolled and will be charged the monthly fee. There is no scam here. Just very high quality content that I am extremely grateful for finding. Thank you, Cole?s Classroom. I plan on sticking around for a while : )

Great site! They have helped me tremendously with my Photography. I've been out of photography for almost 40 years so naturally I forgot everything I ever knew, and also we didn't have digital back then LOL. I would definitely recommend this site to any beginner, or anyone who would like to better themselves in photography.They were totally upfront about how the billing would work, and kept there end of the bargain all the way. I will probably always be a member of this group.

Coles classroom is by far the best decision I've ever taken a risk on. First, you get to attend a free webinar where Cole himself gives you free tools, then(!) He gives you a 10 day trial option for $1. No that's not a typo! He charges one whole dollar for ten days to unlimited amounts of training for photography! Who does that?? Cole does! Idk about you, but ten days is more than enough time to get what you need out of it and then cancel BEFORE getting charged the initial membership fee (which states in the fine print, plus the reminder emails they send you!). I thought ok this is a great deal! I'll learn what I need, write notes and cancel BEFORE my trial is up. By day 5 I was hooked on this endless amount of photography training and thought I'm gonna keep going! Cole also gives you access to a private fb group that not only has other mentors available, but whom are just as active in the group. Cole himself is pretty active in the group! Where else do you find an owner of an online training program active with its members? This place is the first for me. If you're having second thoughts or are hesitant and reading reviews for reassurance, let me be the one to tell you to try it out. Once you're in, you're gonna want to stay.

I've been a happy customer of Cole's Classroom for years. I first purchased Lightroom editing presets and was very happy with the products. Later I joined Cole's Classroom and have been blown away by the incredible amount of resources available. The educational materials are comprehensive, speak to photographers seeking to improve in every area and at all skill levels.

The courses, tutorials, business tools, and products available with my membership were enough to make the cost worth-it but Cole's Classroom offers so much more. I love the client management system (Hey Ned) that comes with my membership. It has streamlined my customer management with simple esign contracts, easy invoicing, and quick to create customer questionnaires all which give my business professional polish.

Most of all I LOVE the Cole's Classroom community. I am no longer alone running my business. I have thousands of other photographers who I can reach out to in real time for tips, motivation, and shared experience. The community is managed by incredible mentors who share their knowledge and experience without hesitation. The community spirit is uplifting and empowering. Everyone in the Cole's Classroom community lives the motto, a rising tide floats all boats.

I would not hesitate to recommend Cole's Classroom to anyone looking to take their photography skills to the next level whatever their hobby or business goals.
