Cole's Classroom

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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 ;).

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!

Cole’s Classroom has been the most valuable resource of information, insights, motivation and Photographer’s family for me since I first enrolled.
The membership is worth every penny!

Cole?s Classroom is the best place for a photographer to be! Whether you are just starting out, or well along the way, there is something for everyone. There are so many amazing courses & tutorials and the mentors and group members are the absolute best I have come across. If you are looking for a safe place to learn and share, come here. You will not be disappointed! I started very hesitantly with the trial. I even had the day to cancel on my calendar. 3 years later, I feel like I know them like friends. I even flew across the country to go to a worskshop with them, learned a lot, and made great relationships!

I?ve learned a lot about photography from Cole?s Classroom. Additionally, Cole adds a personal touch interacting with his followers (and acting on any problems) swiftly. He?s the best! Down to earth, friendly and a giver... Thanks Cole?s Classroom!

Cole's Classroom has been an endless source of information for me. I wasn't brand new to using my DSLR, but I had a lot to learn still and everything to learn about the business side of things. Cole's Classroom is absolutely worth it because it's an investment in yourself!

I have had such a great experience with Coles Classroom and learned a TON! I went from aspiring photographer to full time pro!

I love Coles Classroom. I have learned so much and Cole&the mentors are the best.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to learn and get so much advice and help from the mentors .

Cole's Classroom has been a GREAT asset to me as a photographer. There are tons of helpful videos available and included with no extra charge with my $49 membership fee. I have access to advice from other photographers, classes online, and FREE monthly material for download to help me grow my business. Cole's Classroom is a safe space where I'm never attacked for any type of questions that I have and everyone is always very supportive! I have stepped outside my comfort zone MANY times to do shoots with ZERO experience and nailed them because of the videos and courses in Cole's Classroom - NOT to mention the invoice system Hey Ned that is awesome also!

Thank you Cole and the entire mentor team!

Cole's Classroom is awesome! I signed up for a $1 trial thinking I would get a quick rundown on how to use my camera properly and then bail out. I ended up staying, though, because the content and the community is just that good. Actually, I deactivated my account once, but immediately reactivated it because apparently I can't live without it... Because of Cole's Classroom, I learned manual mode and felt confident enough with my skills to justify buying a full frame camera.

What I would say to people who had the trial and ended up paying for the full membership, is read the details when you sign up for the trail. Not only is it clearly written that the trial auto extends into the full membership, but that type of set up is so incredibly common for online services it should be expected. I kind of thought it was common knowledge that things run that way.

I purchased their 4.99 guide book, added 15.00 for the bundle for a total of 19.99. I recd the guidebook, but not the rest, their website that was supposed to have the downloads had nothing, sent 2 emails to their support, got two run around answers with still no bundle, sent 3rd email with no response back, finally filed claim with paypal and got my 15.00 back.

I cannot say enough about Cole's Classroom, the program it offers, and the entire team that takes time to answer nearly every question in a thoughtful manner. Because of their courses I have managed to excel my skill from not being confident in myself to charge any money to making nearly $10,000 in the first year (part-time) after joining. It's such an incredible and genuinely caring team of people and they're constantly striving to improve (already great) content. Worth every dime I've invested!!!

So many great resources for the beginner to seasoned professional! The *** group is also an amazing place to get feedback and support from all the other members. ????

I have been a member of Cole’s Classroom since 2018. I just happened to stubble across an ad on *** for it. I started out with the trial period and decided to not leave. Cole’s Classroom has helped me grow so much in more than one. I have learned more about my editing style and now closer to where I want to be. If you have any questions there are so many amazing people in the group to help give you help. I know I would now be where I am today in my business if it wasn’t for Cole and his AMAZING group of Mentors!!!

Cole?s Classroom has transformed my photography business. I have been a member for around 3 years, have met Cole and his crew personally at in-person trainings, and have greatly benefitted from all the training resources. With 4 teenagers in the house we were struggling to make ends meet. My photography side hustle has allowed us to survive financially. I wouldn?t be where I am today with Cole, the mentors, and Cole?s Classroom.
