Cole's Classroom Reviews 221

Complete scam!!!
Photographers BEWARE
You sign up for $1 trials later to be charged $49 MONTHLY!!!!
They have STOLEN hundreds of dollars from me.
These criminals should be ashamed of themselves and KARMA will take care of this business and all who work for them, hopefully when they’re in jail.
I’m the mean time I’ll be contacting authorities unless I receive a full refund. Which they have refused multiple times.

The way I found out about this school is by checking my bank account!!

There was a payment of £37,43 that I apparently made to this school last month! Excuse me what?! I’m not even a photographer and was never interested in becoming one!

If they are doing things like that to a random people, how do they treat their customers? Rob them even more?! Would not pay a penny to those frauds and now in the middle of sorting that mysterious payment out!

Great to be a part of this HUGE family that is Cole's Classroom. Vast array of help and advice to help even the greenest of photographers on their way to greater things...whatever they might be. The Facebook group is invaluable. As for the membership stuff. I've barely touched on all that there is offered. Well worth the money.

Scam.
Carefully hidden re-occurring fees.

I been able to grow in my photography and build my business. I originally went from being a hobbyist to a pro thanks to Cole's Classroom they have been able to help me in tough situations.

I am thoroughly enjoying the classroom experience such as being able to view at my leisure.

I found out about Cole's Classroom through an online free webinar, and the lady advertised that you could access the entire course work for $1, a one time payment, handily forgetting to mention the $49 charge after 11 days, and that continued charge every month. I did it to access a single course and did not care about the rest. I did not find out about it until I was working through my budget and was highly disappointed I was $49 behind because a course tricked me. I found no way to contact the owner for a refund, so I canceled my account and highly warn against this sight unless you are aware of both the 10 day trial and the $49 charge a month.
This could be a helpful resource to new photographers and it is a creative idea, but it is way over priced for me personally when I learned most of what's on this sight on Youtube.

If I could write a zero star I would! This is a very deceptive company and shady business practices. You buy a shirt for $10 before you know it you are being charged $49 a month!!! Sure you “approve” the charge because of the purchase but they are deceptive in the membership. It is not as obvious as they claim or so many people would not be scammed into the membership. They may have a good product I don’t know, but they are complete scammers in the way they do business. They say they are upfront about it and you approve it, obviously not!

Unfortunately after not paying close attention to my bank statement (my bad), I noticed a $49 charge on my credit card from Cole's Classroom. After calling my bank, I found out that my card has been charged $49 since March of this year. I couldn't believe it!!!! I NEVER signed up for any trial program from these people and if I did, I would have definitely canceled before the end date. I just sent them an email and am anxious to see their response. They can go back and see that I have NEVER gone into any trial site. I did purchase a 10.00 t-shirt from them earlier in the year but that was it. I guess that is how they got my credit card number. I just CAN'T believe they would do something like that. I will write a follow up after I hear back from them. JUST BEWARE of giving your credit card number to people who might take advantage of it.

I am having the same horrible experience as everyone else on here that registered for the 10 day free trail for $1 and now I don't have access to the subscription button to cancel. This is very frustrating!!! From wanting to try out this photography course and possibly continuing if I enjoyed it to getting frustrated for no reason and WASTING MY TIME! I think they do this purposely to get you interested for a $1 and try to take your money if you don't notice that there is not subscription button in time.

I learned so much from Cole’s classroom! From how to shoot, how to edit and templates galore! Once your done learning it is easy to cancel. I also love their Facebook page it is a great resource.

I fell upon Cole's Classroom quite by accident but gave the 10 day trial a go. I thought I would get all the information I would need and then cancel after the 10 days. Boy was I wrong, there are so many informative and valuable tutorials and teaching tools that I could not possibly view them all in 10 days. I was hooked. I am so grateful for the help from the other members and the Moderators! I have learned so much in the past 2 1/2 months! I love having the support and advice right at my fingertips! Thank you Cole's Classroom team!

I love the classroom option and layout. Easy to follow and keeps your interest. I would recommend to any type of photographer.

I cannot cancel my subscription as apparently I am entering the wrong password. When I enter my email address to request a change of password, I don't receive an email, even in spam. This is unacceptable.

Its a scam stay away..... I didn't even get a password.I never once have been able to log in....

I am trying to cancel my membership in my account and I don’t even see the “subscription” button that lets me cancel the membership. So I emailed you guys already and I hope you get back to me. If I see any money taken out on my account and I am not even able to cancel my subscription, I will make sure to take legal actions. You can’t just remove the “subscription” button where people go to cancel memberships and unable them to cancel the subscription and then take their money.

KEEP AWAY. I signed up for the $1 trial and in the confirmation mail I found that this trial is just for 10 days and following to that, $49.00 will be charged.

It read as follows:

Please remember that you've just started a 10 day trial today and on day 11 you will automatically be auto-renewed to a full price monthly member at $49/mo if you do not cancel your trial expires.

Immediately, I logged into the site and canceled my trial. But there is no confirmation or any other kind of confirmation message for the same. I felt I have canceled my account and accidently when I checked my Credit card transactions, it is found that few days before I was charged for $49.00 I searched for "Contact Us" and found there is no such direct , visible, immediate link for contacting them or any customer care phone number. Somehow I managed to find a contact us (only by email) and sent a mail describing these. But did not receive any reply from their side.

Desperately, I searched online about this site and cancelling subscription/courses found some description about $1 trial course and the way to cancel it. But I found that that also will not work for me as I could find any menu such "Subscription" in "My Account Page"

I feel they made their web site NOT USER FRIEDNLY with an intention of somehow get some money from customer.

From my personal experience, please
DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY.

I feel they their business strategy is trick the people by attracting them with a $1 offer and pickpocketing them.

Still I am not sure about my account is canceled or will they charge $49.00 next month also as they mentioned it is a recurring charge.

Totally frustrated.

Please keep away from this site.

I have cancel my subscription last month. I was assured that my checking account will no longer be charged. I checked my account and I was charged. Will some please helped before I file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

I have been scammed!!! Do not sign up for this. I was never able to sign up for this classroom, I keep trying to register and send my email and I get nothing in return to be able to sign in. I want to cancel my subscription but there is no way of doing it unless you have access to your account. There is no phone support or anything but send an email. Which you never here back from anyone from this company. Do not fall for this Cole's Classroom.
