Cole's Classroom

What a great community of smart, education and kind photographers! Zero competition, only encouragement! More then worth the money, I did the 10 day trial and this is my second year I just renewed!

Last March I went out on a limb and started a photography business with very little business or technical knowledge. I also joined Cole's Classroom on the $1 trial, fully intending to cancel once my trial was over. I stayed. And then I upgraded to a yearly member. I would have crashed and burned without these resources and the awesome and helpful Cole's Classroom community. Instead, my business took off and I shot 55 sessions in my first 9 months while being a stay at home mom, paid for my Cole's yearly membership, a new full frame camera, lens, studio lighting and equipment etc etc AND still made money. If you're thinking about doing the trial, go all in--do the courses, ask questions in the facebook group, make the most of it. And if you happen to not like it, don't forget to cancel your subscription ;).

Cole's Classroom has taught me everything I know. I had zero prior education and now I am a fully paid professional photographer who is PROUD of my work! There are enough hours of educational content that you could simply "go to school" for 3 years and not run out of content. But on top of the education, you get to connect with real photographers just like you, learn from those who are both succeeding and those who are learning tough lessons. It is a supportive group built on a foundation with one intention...to help you succeed. The team of Mentors is amazing and they are not there to keep their secrets from you - they share EVERYTHING they have done and are doing to be successful. This attitude is unlike any other photography group I've been a part of and it clearly comes from the top down. It is a genuine organization with people who really do care about you and your individual success and they will celebrate your wins and support you through those tougher challenges. If you're interested in learning the basics of photography, taking your photography skills to the next level, or diving in to become a professional photographer and you are ready to prioritize your time and effort into learning and growing, then your investment into this group will be invaluable!

Cole's Classroom has been worth every penny to help me build my business. They have so many resources and tutorials that are extremely helpful. They get back to you within a timely manner when you have questions and are always courteous. I highly recommend Cole's Classroom.

I love Cole’s Classroom!!! I saw their ads on *** and clicked on one as I was already frustrated trying to learn photography through *** and *** and finding their videos old or unrelatable to me as a newbie. The videos were great for fundamentals but I needed something more cohesive, relatable to where I was in my journey and covered more than just fundamentals. I found what I needed in Cole’s Classroom. It started with a posing guide and they asked if I wanted to upgrade for 0.01 cent. I read the print carefully and knew that I would be charged $49 after 10 days. Fortunately, I liked what I saw and kept the membership. Even better, I upgraded to the yearly membership! I have a membership with PPA, *** and a few photography subscriptions on *** and it doesn’t compare. Just doesn’t. My photography skill has skyrocketed and they have an amazing supportive group on *** that helps you grow. I’m not the only one saying this either. I highly recommend Cole’s Classroom if you’re serious about your photography.

Awesome team of mentors! Best investment for my business. Coles Classroom has provided me with the tools I have needed to succeed in my business!

I signed up for Cole's Classroom last summer (2019) during a $1 for 10 day trial. I went into this trial period thinking I'd learn a few things from whatever courses were included and then I'd cancel and go about my life. Then I got into the course area, the FB group (which is an added perk that can't be valued in dollars) and the community. I then decided mayyyybe I'd stick around for a month at the full membership price (at that time $49/mo after the trial ends - it starts automatically billing, so be sure to cancel before that if you truly don't want to stay). Well, within a few months of paying for the membership, I became a yearly member and probably would pay for a lifetime membership if they offered it. The ways that my photography has grown in the past eight months or so is just beyond words. I dug in and have watched and rewatched so many of the tutorials and even started digging into courses that I swore I didn't really have an interest in, but found so much useful information in them each and every time. I just kept saying that I only wanted to learn to better photograph my family, but the truth is I'd now love to start my own business and am putting into place the steps to achieving that down the road soon. The mentors in the Facebook group are so kind and helpful and honest and open about their own journey to becoming professional photographers and give so much genuine feedback that their value as part of the membership package is just immeasurable. I can't say enough good things about this membership platform. The wealth of information in there is just mind-boggling. At first it was a little overwhelming because there is so much but if you just take your time and work through the ones you are most interested in first, it's much easier to digest. I highly suggest watching the "back stage pass" video courses. They are amazing and it's like being right there with the mentors learning as they shoot real sessions with real families and clients. A+ and 5 stars to this company for what they've created. I hope it just continues to grow.

Cole's Classroom is a godsend for any photographer looking to broaden their skillset and achieve success. I have been an active member for a good while and absolutely value Cole's Classroom!! Beyond amazing team.

I LOVE Cole?s Classroom. He and his mentors have helped me learn my camera and this results in taking amazing pictures.
I also love it because I can do it at my own pace. Life gets busy and sometimes I can?t get online, but when I do, it?s easy to understand and I learn a lot!
I recommend this company for anyone who wants to pursue photography!
Thanks Cole!!

This company is fraudulent! I signed up, realized it was a scam, canceled immediately. I have yet to receive my money back and they charged my card again. To stop this I am going to have to cancel my card and file a fraudulent complaint.

I?ve learned more about my camera and how to use it in the last few months than the past 3 years! Not to mention guidance and advice from great mentors.

I have been a Cole's Classroom customer for nearly a year and I can assure anyone reading this review that they certainly are not scammers. All reviews that I have seen that indicate Cole's Classroom are scammers come from people that HAVE NOT READ OR PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

I signed up for the 10 day trial, at the time they were offering it for $1. I haven't left. There are so many great resources and training for aspiring photographers or those just wanting to improve their skills for personal reasons. The Mentor Team are quite fantastic and extremely helpful. Cole's Classroom wants you to succeed and they do what they can to help you achieve your goals.

I will reiterate for all, DO NOT BELIEVE THOSE THAT CLAIM COLE'S CLASSROOM IS A SCAM, Cole's Classroom is not a scam but a valuable resource if you want to improve your photography skills.

I started with Cole's classroom and a free trial and learned so much that I continued on a monthly basis. I'm so grateful for all the information in Cole's classroom and the support it gives. Thank you to all the instructors at Cole's classroom for your wealth of information!

I signed up thinking I would just have the $1 free stuff but stayed! I have learned so much just from their online learning and resources they constantly roll out to us. I also LOVE the private *** group where we can chat and bounce ideas off other like minded group members from all over the world! I have never been in a group that is so kind, understanding, wanting to see everyone exceed no matter where they are at in their photography journey. Not only did I not think that I would sign up for this and actually pay for it but I will definitely be renewing every year while I grow my business!

A great place to improve photography and entrepreneurial skills! Easy access to courses and tutorials.

I joined coles classroom over a year ago and it has been, hands down, one of the BEST decisions I ever could have made for my photography and my business. The quality of content and help thats provided and the level of care and support by the community is second to none. I tell everyone I know who expresses interest in learning more about photography to try coles classroom. Love it!!

I started a year ago with a 10 day trail, the support I get in CC Pro is worth so much more than the monthly payment. The resources are definitely helped me improve, I still haven?t gone through even 1/4 of it and I?m still learning so much. The only thing that can hold you back here is your own effort or lack of it. The mentors are very realistic and honest, they help where they can or ask someone that knows it better to help you. The mentors are also open about the mistakes they make/made themselves and put out honestly in order for the members to learn from them also when things don?t turn out the way you expected. In the time I have been here I have not come across any violent, disrespectful or badgering posts. It is always a good environment to learns from, even though some times posts have different opinions rising, it has never been in disrespect nor has it turned into a conflict. The members are also a great international mix of people from all over the world and very different cultures, which sometimes bring some really funny and lively conversations ???? And in general people feel safe enough to share some rather stupidly funny ?oops? moments that everyone can enjoy a laugh from in a good way.
I definitely recommend Coles Classroom, regardless of your degree or not having one, no matter your years of experience or just starting, and your equipment does not make a difference, weather how cheap, new or secondhand, or The most expensive. What matters is that everyone can learn something new and we all can learns from each other, even the mentors from the members.

This is NOT a scam. Cole's Classroom has helped me tremendously. I'm a photography student looking to start my own business. The resources to help train me in photography techniques, business and editing are premium!! I've not seen another site with so much to offer the up and coming photographer. The mentors are incredibly knowledgeable and generous with their knowledge and experience.

Because I'm a member of Cole's Classroom, I've gained tremendous confidence and will be launching my photography business in 2020.

There are many types of resources available from tutorials and sample documents to personal support from an awesome mentor team and social group of fb members. This is not going to Give you skills. This is to give you Tools to help Yourself build your skills. Give it a trail and see... but there is Way too much for 1 month and get what you need out of it. I tried! I'm a subscriber now and dont have any current plans to stop.

Cole's Classroom has been a life-changer for my photography business! The courses & tutorials are amazing, organized, and super helpful. Education ranges from beginner camera settings all the way to business and pricing to posing and lighting. Not only are the videos great, but the products are wonderful - lightroom presets, welcome guides, templates, the list goes on. I can't say enough good stuff about Cole's Classroom! I'm grateful that I found them early in my journey and I know for sure that my success is hugely due to all that I've learned there!
