I originally signed up for this course because it was free. I have to say I was a bit skeptical since it was free and questioned how in depth the material would be. After the first 3 lessons, I have to say I have been very pleased with the level of simplicity and thoroughness the material has been presented. Overall I would say my response has been pretty good and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to advance their knowledge!
I’ve actually been doing photography for 6 years, but I wanted a good refresher now that I have a lot of extra time due to CPVID-19, and I am really impressed with how things are explained and how the classes are conducted. It’s been a really, really nice course so far. I really like it, and the value for the money is great!
Good
Subscription SCAM - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
They will take your money even if you cancel your subscription and they have no customer service to speak to!!!
AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!
I really enjoy how they have you set an appointment for your courses which encourages you to keep up with them. It’s different than just putting the videos up for you to do at your own pace because realistically, we’d always find an excuse to put them off. The videos are really encouraging, positive, and easy to digest. Super excited to learn more!!
One click purchase scams. Your free trial describes the cancellation process as simple and online. This is untrue. It is difficult and via telephone.
They of course never answer the phone. When they do, you are told the support team will get back to you, who, again never do.
If you subscribe, be aware that if you do not like the site content, you will not be refunded!
UPDATE: Response to email asking me to contact the trust pilot email address they have setup.
I asked for a refund for a second time and this is the response I received...

My response to this is that I haven't activated anything. I haven't actually clicked anything beyond that click-bait button apart from the red 'X' to leave the site.
This is not resolved and I have reported this incident to the BBB. I recommend anybody else to do the same if they experience this scam.
This academy gives you all the skills you need to create your own career. If you stay dedicated you can achieve whatever you desire.
Very informative
I really love the ease of Shaw Academy, it was super seamless to sign up for my free 4 weeks. The AI was top notch and I was able to select my course, my class dates and times, and integrate that directly to my calendar with one click. Additionally, I could sign up for multiple courses offered at Shaw Academy during my 4-week trial which was a nice touch. Also, I had the opportunity to take my first class and I like how the content for the course was laid out.
I've also taken a few other online courses from leading competitors and only Shaw Academy gave me the sense of being held accountable to myself for my courses and my education. Like I signed up for it, I want it, but Shaw Academy is there to help me complete my goals, and that's a nice touch! 5/5 would recommend.
This review is written during COVID 19 quarantine. This program is super fun and easy to do while im at home and expand my knowledge on how to use a camera and smartphone properly.
Easy to follow, short but informative, engaging teacher, and complete educational program for amateur and professional photographers - would definitely recommend!
I did not like the "one-click" toolkit purchase though. Did not mean to make that spending and there is no way to claim that...
Excellent and informative lessons with really good and enthusiastic teachers. The video is laid out well with great graphics. I am in my free trial at the moment, but will definitely consider paying for courses in the future
Really enjoying the course so far. Also especially like how much effort they put in to make sure you are on track to succeed. Lookinv Looking forward to taking more courses with Shaw
Academy.
The course is very informative. Lessons are quick-paced but it’s great that there is the option to go over them again afterwards. What I love is that you can schedule lessons into your day, and it’s flexible around your own routine with the options to adjust the lesson schedule. There are reminders to attend lessons, and this really helps with sticking to goals and keeping on track with the course.
So far, the digital marketing course has introduced me to key concepts with a good amount of detail, and the challenges given after lessons helps to apply the knowledge learned straight away. In the next lesson they go through the right answers for the challenge given. Overall I would recommend to anyone!
Really enjoying the photography diploma. Very easy to understand. Excited to develop my photography skills
Very helpful to offer the course for free during the pandemic! The reminders are also very efficient and it was quick and easy to get started with my course.
I have signed up for a free 4-week nutrition Diploma. The lessons are great and there is flexibility on how you schedule your lessons time for your most convenience. Highly recommended
I really like how the course is split out, however I do feel like some of the verbage is redundant and the time can be better efficiently talk without so much extra verbage extra reiterating
Looking forward to my next class! Clean, clear instruction with great designs. I appreciate the social aspect of the class as well! I haven't been in school for many years, but it's funny how quickly you connect with the people in the same timeslot as you. Looking forward to more training!
Fantastic app and website. Takes two seconds to get started and before you know it. BOOM you've started your journey
The course so far is great. I am blown away by the professionalism and expertise of our expert instructors. I am also impressed with the layout of the modules and the design of the course. It’s all seamless and beautiful.
Very informative
