Full time academic nerd turned full time photographer Having already completed a full round of education in academia and science, when I decided to transition careers to become a full-time professional photographer at 30 years old, I just wasn't in a place in life to go back and enroll in a traditional education system again. PRO EDU and many of the instructors came into my life at exactly the right time. Though such legendary names such as Pratik Naik, Michael Woloszynowicz, Sandro, Earth Oliver, and more, I was able to hone my long time side hobby into a viable full time career. As a former nerd (ok, current nerd still, but that's between us), I love that PRO EDU tutorials are not just about the how, but also the why. I also love that they're taught in a way that I can then translate a skill taught for one specific area into an entirely different genre. Whether casual weekend shooter or professional, PRO EDU has educational content that everyone can benefit from (plus, the podcasts are hilarious!!)

Downloading the whole video is painful. I think the course content is excellent but viewing it is a different matter. I expected to get online access via an account but instead you just get to download the videos which if fine but it is so slow. The download speed varies from really slow to quite quick and spikes all the time so your download times are all over the place. I had a lot of network dropouts too so had to go back and start over. Way too long to simply get to view the content. Downloading literally took hours and hours. Just too hard!

Virtual photography internship I’m a Pro Plan member, and have been quite happy with the behind the scenes details you get from the teachers. It’s like having a virtual internship.

Dishonest company Dishonest company. Charged my card twice more than planned and then impossible to cancel membership. I had to cancel my credit card. Stay away.

The community helped me level up PRO-EDU introduced me to a great community! While their tutorials are great for all levels and they even teach you CGI now. The biggest quality of it is their living community and their involvement in this community. I met so many great people, great photographers and also great retouchers and they helpen met level up in both skills and confidence.
