Is Cole’s Classroom a Scam?
No. Cole started Cole’s Classroom after a negative experience on a photography forum where he found the “pros” were total jerks to the newer photographers asking questions. That’s where Cole’s Classroom was born. His mission was to create a space where EVERYONE would be accepted, no matter their background or experience in photography.

Down to Earth and Real Facebook Group for New and Seasoned Photographers
The truth is, we are REAL people with real struggles that “get it.” We all live in saturated markets that can discourage us from moving forward. BUT, the strength that you find working with other photographers can help you push past all the challenges that you may face. Here’s the thing, you learn FAR more from working with other like-minded individuals than you will when you work alone and think that all other photographers are competition.
Cole’s Classroom is essentially a mastermind group of photographers who aren’t intimidated by other’s successes (or failures). We aren’t phased by “competition” because we know that every person has something to offer their clients that is unique and extraordinary. There is room for all of us in this business, and we know this because we see success stories from our members EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Unmatched Community Support and Positivity
Cole’s Classroom is a community that is built on positivity, support, and encouragement. There is NO room for negativity because we know that negativity isn’t going to bring anything good/positive to you or your business. Instead, we spend our energy supporting one another and finding solutions rather than complaining about what’s NOT working. We are here to stand behind you and let you know that success is possible, but that it’s going to take hard work and persistence. We aren’t going to lie and say it’s easy, because we can’t do the work for you. But what we CAN do, is provide the best resources on the market, and push you along the way.
Testimonials: Cole’s Classroom Reviews from REAL members!
“I love all of the training and videos we receive. The Facebook group is priceless! If I had to tell a friend (which I have), I’d say how supportive and helpful this community is and I wouldn’t have come so far so quickly if I hadn’t done the trial and decided I needed to learn more if I wanted to be successful. The mentors here truly care about you and WANT you to learn. They WANT you to grow. And all of the things we get with our membership are incredibly valuable. From Hey Ned to monthly perks, to free product credits and specials on items that would normally be out of price range for those on a budget…it’s all so worth it.
The investment I’ve made has helped me to become a PROFESSIONAL photographer, and I’ve learned so so much. I cannot put a price on the value of Coles classroom. I’ve found a new level up of my worth as a photographer and as a professional, and I owe much of that to my CC Pro membership.” -Ashley, Cole’s Classroom Pro Member
“When I started my trial, my first thought was that I was amazed that there was a group of photographers that weren’t tearing each other down with their CC. I love that I’ve been able to feel comfortable posting my work even when I was first starting. After that, I was amazed at the fact that there was SO much material! And it just keeps coming. There’s always more. The mentors are always available and answering questions. I love that it keeps me motivated and holds me accountable!” -Angela, Cole’s Classroom Pro Member.
“That it is an awesome family of photographers that WANT to see each other succeed and are willing to help and give them advice. I love that the mentors are “real” people keep it real with us. I love that the videos in the training vault are realistic and real life and incredibly helpful. Also that I have learned more in my almost year here than I have learned in years on my own!” -Heidi, Cole’s Classroom Pro Member.
