Been buying courses from them for a few years - off an on - always during sales.
Get the impression lately that they are falling behind - not many new offerings - especially in the area of photography - very little current stuff on new mirrorless cameras and drones - some of the courses date back quite a few years - they seem to be always running sales.
Methinks that the competition from YouTube is taking its toll - wouldn't be surprised if they are acquired.

I follow them since the beginning, i have bought Many courses from them... if you wait for The right time... The courses are a steal and of great quality.

Really appreciate that you can watch a free video a day of and course from their app.

Disgusting company. Firstly, I hate that they auto renew and don't even send you email reminders in case you want to cancel. Secondly, they double charged me with this auto renewal. Now I have to wait 7 days for customer service to even respond to me. Buyer beware.

Awesome - love their videos, and if you get an annual subscription on offer, it works out as good value for money, even if you only complete a few courses in the year.

I am into photography, know basic stuff but wanted to quickly learn shooting newborn picutres for my own baby who will arrive in few weeks' time. I was concerned about safely handling and posing a newborn, which this cource was perfect for - "Baby Safety and Posing ..." by Kelly Brown. Enjoyed that everything was explained in detail, giving enough time.

I feel confident now for handling newborns in a photography session. PLEASE NOTE that you have to know using a DSLR camera in Full MANUAL mode as a prerequisite to this course.

As a complete beginner, I bought a quick start course by John Greengo, to learn how to use a camera that I had just bought. It was the best thing I did. The course was easy to understand and I learnt more in the first hour, than YouTube videos had taught me in the previous two weeks.
The only thing I regret is that I didn’t get the course sooner.
There are also free on air videos and you can also choose a free lesson of the day. Strangely, I can only find these on my iPad rather than on my laptop, but that is probably my incompetency.

Bad customer service.

I had a very bad experience with the customer service of this company. The senior member didn't read properly my questions just providing me standard answers and showing a lack of knowledge of their system.
4 days to have the solution to my problem and in the meantime the deal I was trying to purchase expired so I couldn't take the course at a discounted prices.
He also ignored my requests of escalation and to speak with a manager to complaint about how the ticket was being dealt with.

I certainly won't purchase courses for hundreds or thousands of dollars if that's the level of help I will have in case of issues.

Never felt this way with other companies.
