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!!)

I can’t argue about the tutorials I can’t argue about the tutorials, they really have some great tutorials but, if you need any customer support, you can forget about it!!! I had a monthly membership and i cancelled my renewal for the next month 10 days prior to ending of my contract. But instantly i was kicked out of the site and couldn’t log in again so my contract was ended 10 days before which i had already paid. I wrote complains every possible way available on their website but i didn’t get any reply before 1 week, and when i got it, it wad not relevant to my complain at all, i explained everything on my messages but their reply was simply like „we care about our customers please let us know about your problem“ kinda thing. At this moment i got only three days to end my paid contract, i told them again they already wasted 7 days from my paid days so i want rhem to compansate it, you know what they did, gave me access again but also activate the renewal so 3 days later i noticed i paid again for a new month!!!!! I don’t care what kind of tutorials they have but i will never ever fill the pockets of careless people so I’m not going back to them ever again. CreativeLive.com is way more professional then them.

absolute game-changer for me absolute game-changer for me. lots of classes just skim the surface, PRO EDU dives deep, detailed and laid-out content that resonates. the videos feel like a one-on-one coaching session which my ADHD needs.

Canceling subscription is not easy. While the videos are educational, get ready for a fight when you are ready to cancel. I signed up for the 12 month contract. When the 12 months ended, I wanted to cancel my subscription. I encountered a lot of difficulty logging into the billing portion of the subscription. I could easily watch the videos, but couldn’t manage my billing. As it turns out, a separate account was needed to do this. However, in order to actually cancel your subscription, you need to email support, which in of itself is problematic. After going through many emails, and high pressure sales tactics, (We want to offer you a once in a life time low price only available now) I was told my subscription was cancelled and I would not be charged again. Well, this month rolled around and guess who got charged again! Me. I got charged again. It should NOT be this difficult to cancel a subscription. I sent them yet another email, but this definitely warrants a trip to my bank. Update: I did receive a prompt response and they refunded me, assured me there would be no further billing and issued me a free month. I do appreciate the quick service. Some companies intentionally make canceling very difficult, whereas other companies simply have inefficient systems in place. It’s hard to tell which is the case here. Regardless, I’ve never had so much difficulty canceling a subscription and that’s disappointing.

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.
