Cole's Classroom

I was skeptical at first. The $1 trial though brought me in, and I love it! Through the videos I have learned more about my camera than spending 10+ years doing it by myself and even taking a few classes at my local community college.
I thought I would just use the 10 days and cram as much as I could, but I couldn't even touch the surface in 10 days!
I love the site and the *** group. I actually feel confident behind the camera again... and I've even complimented on my photos by many people. It feels good to have a resources to go to and the ability to talk to people about my issues, questions, and even my fears.
Like I said I was skeptical now I bought a year membership because I NEED this resource.

Cole?s Classroom is super helpful especially for new photographers! The community provided is the best I?ve found. The training is priceless and the customer service is quick and helpful.

Worth the $1 trial as well as the $49 monthly membership that follows!!!!

Coles classroom is the best learning environment for a growing photographer. The support is beyond anything I have experienced.

Cole and his mentors have provided me with invaluable information that has taken my hobby photography to a successful business. I have not only learned how to take better pictures, I have learned business techniques that have elevated my skills as a business owner.

I can not say enough good things about Coles classroom.

It?s worth the investment, if you are willing to put in the work to better your craft!!!!!!

Cole?s Classroom is nothing short of AMAZING! I?ve gone from an amateur hobbyist to a full-time professional photographer because of CC. I was able to leave my corporate job and become my own boss. I work my own hours, attend my children?s activities and have time for the things I need. I never could?ve done it without Cole and his fabulous mentor team!!

I’ve been a member of Cole’s Classroom for about 2 years, and I joined for a $1 promotional trial that I was clearly told would auto-renew for $49/month if not cancelled. My intention was to get in, glean all the good information I could, and get out before having to pay more. But once I joined the *** community and realized how much that was worth by itself, I would have stayed and paid the monthly fee even if there wasn’t an entire massive collection of training videos and incredible information for photographers and their businesses.
In the *** group, we have personal access to Cole and a team of incredible mentors who go above and beyond to be available and answer questions, give feedback, and train up photographers to succeed in their businesses or hobbies - whatever their goal.
We get free products every month, and free use of Hey Ned, which is an amazing service that Cole created and funded out of his own pocket, that helps photographers manage their businesses, send out contracts and invoices, and charge their clients. I am still blown away that Cole gives that to us as part of the membership.
If you are considering a membership or even a trial with Cole’s Classroom, don’t think twice!! Yes, read everything before you just click “opt in,” because if you don’t cancel within 10 days, it does charge you monthly, but everything is made very clear, and if you don’t cancel before your trial is over, that’s totally on you.
To address all the one-star reviews on here: you can’t go signing up for things willy nilly, ignore the terms, and then blame the company that does exactly what they tell you they’re gonna do. Most of the reviews on here are ridiculous.

Last spring, I signed up to participate in one of Cole?s Classroom free trainings. It was amazing and I knew I wanted to continue so I signed up for the 10 day trial which cost $1.00. As day 10 arrived I knew I had to make a choice - cancel the free trial in order to not be charged a monthly fee or believe in myself and join. Because I wasn?t willing to fully commit, I joined as a mi they member, but soon knew joining the full pro group was best for me. I had previously taken online classes with reputable photography groups but never got what I needed when I needed it. This program has it all - with feedback from Cole?s staff and an incredible online group of photographers who offer reviews and assistance.

Cole's Classroom is an amazing resource for photographers at any level. The resources and classes are very helpful in learning new skills and trouble shooting issues from camera settings, to tough clients to editing magic.
The online community is one of the best ones for photographers I have been apart of. Everyone is supportive and encouraging. The mentors are present all the time and available to help for any questions. They even have opportunities to ask questions live.
They offer courses that you can move through at your own speed and they also have breakout sessions that focus on specific issues we all face as photographers from getting fully booked to how to make an ad.
It is absolutely worth the investment. My business growth has accelerated faster than I ever imagined it could with all the amazing resources and personal hands on approach offered through Cole's Classroom.

Cole's Classroom is NOT a scam. I bought a preset pack in 2016 and was never charged anything additional; most likely because I didn't check a box to opt in to anything. In 2017 I watched the free webinar and decided to do the 10-day free trial, knowing that if I didn't cancel, I'd be charged the $49 per month. Initially when I forgot to cancel, I was bummed that I was charged (though not surprised) but then I decided to really dig into the materials offered (and at that time, a lot of great stuff had not been added yet). I paid the monthly membership for a few months and then I have been a yearly member ever since. WELL WORTH IT. Paid for itself many times over. I know I would not be where I am today in photography without CC.

I love the simplicity of Cole's classroom and they way they teach. I can get the same valuable info from CC as I do from other sites, but in a fraction of the time! I believe it is kind of expensive, more than I have ever paid on any other site, but I'm still a member nearly 8 months later. They are very clear about their trial terms and they provide good customer support. They are not a scammer and I will continue learning from them.

Love coles classroom. I'm a yearly member and love all of the perks! Great community resource and super friendly people which is hard to find in this field.

Before Cole?s Classroom, I was a ?mom with a camera? who wanted to take her skills and grow a business for herself. I was doing every free webinar I could find just to get bits and pieces of education to help me. Like so may, I planned on quitting after my 10 day trial. Nope. Within a month I bought a yearly subscription because I had already learned SO much. My photography has grown exponentially and I have a business that is on a steady growth trajectory. On top of this, I have access to an enormously positive and engaging community with which to brainstorm, troubleshoot, and just get support from. There is no heated drama, insults, or jealous take downs as I have seen in other groups of ?professionals.? Plus CC has mentors who are active in the group, personable, and HELPFUL. Between the educational material (still haven?t made it through it all!) and the community, its the investment that has paid for itself over and over.

It burns me up to hear it called a scam by people who 1) don?t understand what a trial
Is 2) who ignore the COUNTLESS reminders that they will be charged in x number of days when their trial ends 3) expected a magic pill of success with zero work on their part.

THOSE are the frauds and scams. Not CC. I am a customer for life.

My $1 I paid for a week's trial was the best $1 I ever spent on my photography journey because I found my tribe. Cole's Classroom has become my online photography family. The resources available to members is amazing. There's help for improving your photography, starting a business and growing your business. There are courses that help you learn and improve skills, quick video tutorials to solve simple problems and breakout courses to help you tackle new opportunities and growth. And you get access to a private *** group full of other up-and-coming and seasoned professionals. The group is supportive, kind and incredibly helpful. As I said, my tribe.
I've been a part of other paid photography communities and the value for your money with Cole's Classroom is outstanding. The resources available through his site and ideas I've implemented from being a part of this community have literally paid for my membership almost 50 times over.
One of my favorite parts is their amazing customer service. I can e-mail their support heroes and an issue is resolved within a few hours. I bought a set of presets that after using them on a few pictures for a few days realized it wasn't my style and I would never use them. Because Cole's Classroom offers a money back guaruntee, I received a refund, no questions asked. On a DIGITAL PRODUCT! How many other sites offer that?
I read some of the reviews below and it frustrates me. Just to be clear, your $1 trial is good for 10 days. If you don't cancel your membership before day 10, you will be billed as a monthly member and your card will be charged accordingly. Those terms are spelled out very clearly in all of the literature associated with the site. Spend a dollar, and set an alarm on your phone for day 9. Then check out the member's site and the *** group and if you don't love what you see, cancel your membership on day 9 when your phone alerts. It's that easy.
Buuuuutttt...if you're committed to growing your skills in photography and business, you'll want to stay. Stop buying gear and props and spend your money on some of the best photography education around. I'll see you in Cole's Classroom!

I love coles classroom. I've been signed up as an annual member for over a year, and they have helped me transition from a hobbyist photographer to a paid freelance photographer.

The course is fairly US based although they have one UK team member who helps Britishize certain aspects that are different (like with marketing etc)

The course doesn't just teach you to take good photos, it teaches you to be a professional photographer

I snagged a free course on this amazing site as my photography journey began. I was hesitant to pay the $1 knowing I could be charged the $49 after 10
Days...best $49 and money beyond I could have ever spent. The value of Coles’s Classroom can’t even be quantified. Nearly two years later and I still am a paying Cole’s Classroom member! The value of the peer-to-Peer support in the private *** group, support from the amazing mentors, and incredible video tutorials, plus more that you receive as a paying member - worth every penny of the membership! I’m still working through my journey to become a photographer I am proud of, but know how far I have come and where I will get eventually, is thanks to this amazing program! You even get access to Cole, himself! It changes your life!!

Coles classroom is an amazing place for anyone wanting to better themselves with photography and/or you photography business. I started with the $1 10 day trial and loved it. Since then, I upgraded to an annual member. You have so much support from the mentors amd other members as well as so many tools to grow with. I highly recommend Coles Classroom for anyone wanting to improve on the photography, whether you just got a camera yesterday or have been in business for a while. You won't be sorry.

Cole?s Classroom is one of the best photographer communities around. There are SO MANY practical tools and things to learn. There are hours upon hours of courses and lessons. The mentors are supportive and incredibly helpful. This group is built of real people from all over the world. They are positive and so supportive. Never once I have I regretted joining this group. It?s helped to jumpstart my business in so many ways. I would not be pursuing my dreams and successfully conquering the challenges along the way without Cole?s Classroom. Absolutely life changing!

I was only going to stay for a 10 day trial but quickly learned the value I?d receive by becoming a cc pro member. The quality of my photos has increased exponentially thanks to the guidance from mentors and the training I?ve received. There?s such an incredible value to be experienced with the paid membership. I don?t regret my choice to go past the $1, 10-day trial. I have grown professionally since taking the leap and wouldn?t Have been able to start my business and grow as much as I have since becoming s member!

Great group of mentors and a community of photographers world wide helping each other to learn and grow.
I have learned so much about my camera and editing that I have grown so much as a photographer in a year than I have in the last 10 thanks to Cole?s classroom. Amazing resources, tools and support.

I began in July 2018 for a free 10 days trial and thought that I would leave before the trial end. Then I discover how much I learn in 10 days and how the *** community is amazing. Mentor are on the *** group and answer everyday question that we have. I truly appreciate the help that I got there. I learn a lot of things and without Cole Classroom I don't think that I would have lunch my photography business. I joined in July 2018 and lunch my business in Decembre 2018. I learn all I need to be able to do so and I still continue to learn a lot.

Coles classroom Is an amazing resource and has top notch customer service. They?ve helped my photography grow from a hobby to a successful profitable side business. I covered my subscription fee within the 10 day trial and haven?t slowed down since.
