Our take
Based on the ratings of 3,187 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in November 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
Creative Online School packs this bundle into 9.7 hours, 150 lectures and 22 sections. The syllabus runs from the exposure triangle and lenses to Lightroom, Photoshop, macro, portrait, landscape, stock photography and a long WordPress blogging block. Around 216,000 students have enrolled. The "21 courses in 1" pitch is generous, though. Plenty of sections are only a few minutes long, so this works as a wide first tour of photography, not a deep program in any one area.
Reviewers keep praising the teaching style. They describe the explanations as slow, simple and step by step, with technical lingo translated into plain English. One student says it helped them move from hobbyist to pro, and another says it was the first time the concepts finally clicked. The complaints are fewer but specific. Some say it turns into slides without photo examples, the Photoshop section feels rushed, the audio and visuals are uneven, and the macro music grates. One reviewer wants blogging split off into its own course.
Most of the 3,187 ratings are four or five stars, and the average is 4.5. Nearly four hours go to blogging and web design, which many camera owners will not want. There are no quizzes or assignments either, and one student asked for a test after each section. It was last updated in November 2025. We would recommend it as an easy, low-pressure starting point. Pair it with a deeper course once the basics feel familiar.
Pros
- Reviewers say the explanations are slow, simple and step by step, with little jargon
- Wide syllabus: exposure, lenses, Lightroom, Photoshop, macro, portrait, landscape, night
- Portrait and landscape sections run over an hour each, so they get real time
- Refreshed in November 2025 and taken by more than 215,000 students
Cons
- Several sections run two to seven minutes, so many topics stay shallow
- Some reviewers call parts slide-heavy, with few photo examples and uneven audio
- Nearly four hours go to WordPress blogging and web design, not camera skills
This really worked well for me. It gave me the information I needed to transition from hobbyist to pro . well organized and taught with clarity.
Suits true beginners; no prior photography is needed, and the pace is slow enough for hobbyists.

For me as to someone who is passionate abt photography but due to business at work couldn't get extra time for live photography courses, this course was very informative. Will keep going back to each session while practising. Thanks for the course
By Vaidos Mihai-Iulian on 4/15/2021
This course seemed very useful to me, I learned quite a few new things, some of which I knew before I started, I am satisfied so far.
By Anna Verbovszky on 11/5/2020
Some part of the course are helpful and detailed , but other parts are just simple videos giving no useful information but explaining what we see on some photographs and the composition of them...
By Stephan Kleinlein on 10/17/2020
Good course, but section 17, 18, 19 are quite dragging on for 3 hours with average information. The girl who does it means well, but for someone who wants to learn something out of this sections, this was too long and a lot of unnecessary comments and information. Section 20, 21 very well presented and I learned a lot!
By Shivansh Tyagi on 3/28/2020
This was an amazing experience to learn online. I have learnt some new aspects about my favorite generes i.e. macro photography & landscape photography.
By Nicole Young on 3/4/2020

By Robert Keen on 2/27/2020
I like this course a lot. The pace is easy going and the instruction is light and fun. It's giving me some great information and tips
By Steven Jones on 2/26/2020
if i had paid for the course, i would probably scored lower. Used a voucher code to get the course for free. Its understandable that people are not at the same level of experience etc, maybe I was expecting too much from the course?? Also I feel that the course is a bit out dated, lack of mirrorless cameras etc, it would be better with some actual video shots of how to do things rather than just voice over, however, the blogging/wordpress section was really well presented.
By Archit Lohumi on 5/29/2019
every instructor has been great to listen to and have taught above expectations there is not a single flaw in any video every video was complete and totally informative I feel grateful to have got a chance to study under such great instructors, thank you very much
