I have been part of Cole's for about two years and have a wonderful experience. I am not a professional photographer: I am a hobbyist, but Cole's is truly for people, at all levels, who want to improve their photography. I read some of the negative reviews and have to say the main issue seems to be about being charged after the free trial. I, too, started with the free 10 - day trial, and the information is very clear that if you do not want to continue as a paying member of Cole's, you must cancel before your 10 days are up. When people don't do this, yes, they get charged because they have indicated that they want to continue by not cancelling AND they are still able to log in and continue the classes. At first, I wasn't certain how long I would remain a member and paid as a monthly member. However, once I had time to work in the classes, receive ongoing feedback and assistance, and see my photography improve, I signed up as an annual member - for which there are many additional benefits including a significantly lower fee and a private Facebook group which I utilize several times daily. If you want to improve your photography skills in an environment that is safe yet will challenge you as much as you want, then this is the place to be.

Since 2014, our mission at Cole’s Classroom has been simple: to provide affordable, high-quality training for photographers at every stage of their journey—from brand-new beginners to seasoned professionals.
Regarding our Trustpilot reviews, we want to offer full clarity about our most popular program: Cole’s Classroom Pro. This monthly membership includes access to more than 28 in-depth courses, over 300 quick video tutorials, and 15 behind-the-scenes, on-location photo sessions, all for $49 per month.
To make joining risk-free, every new member begins with a 10-day free trial. This gives full access to the entire library so photographers can explore everything and decide—without pressure—whether the membership is right for them.
We’re committed to transparency. At the time of purchase, we clearly outline what’s included, how the trial works, and when it converts. We also make cancellation easy: there is a cancellation link on our product pages and support pages, and we send multiple reminder emails before any trial converts to a paid membership.
If you ever need help, our support team is available 7 days a week at support@colesclassroom.com.See more
