ANGRY: Can’t access the course…

I paid for The Award Winning iPhotography course and could not access the site from the links given me. I’ve emailed their support no less than 7 times only to have them respond with the EXACT help response EVERY time! I tried everything they suggested and now, on day 3, I STILL cannot access the course. I keep getting and totally blank page with only the site banner at the top!
I requested a refund 3 times and am waiting to see if I’ll get the robotic automated answer. Let’s see what response THIS review gets.
————
UPDATE: September 30, 2020
As of today iDrop has NOT issued my refund but asked for a review. I again responded that I have not been able to access the course - this makes about 12 times I’ve report the issue - and yet again they responded with the EXACT instructions. They have not responded regarding a refund.

After looking for a few months at…

After looking for a few months at different courses. I just couldn’t make my mind up on any that I was 100% happy with. My sister knew I had been looking for ages for a course and she saw one and sent me a link to groupon and it was for iphotography course priced at around £49 or close to that. I thought for that money let’s just give it ago. Seeing as some courses I looked at were ranging from £600-£800. Honestly I cannot explain how taken back I am. I honestly would have paid so much more for this course. I’m half way through module five and I’ve learnt a lot, like more than I actually thought I would. They have updated their website recently and it’s just great. I have a real interest in photography and this has just made me love it even more. They are on all social media platforms and you can discuss with other people doing the course. You can track everything you’re doing and I love the fact there are other courses available. Yes there’s a lot of reading but you have assignments you can do and weekend challenges. It just makes you want to get your camera out and learn. They’ve got a new premium membership platform that is coming out very soon and I’m looking forward to that. I love that as soon as you finish a module you can do your exam straight away and the results come back within seconds. For the amount of money I paid I cannot thank my sister enough for finding it for me, finally enjoying my hobby even more. Would highly recommend 10/10! Thank you iphotography.

Hi Holly,

Thank you for the glowing review. We're really glad to find that the course has helped you improve your photography skills. That's what iPhotography is all about - educating and improving everyone's skillsets.

I am loving this course so far

I am loving this course so far! It presents the material in a way that’s interesting and easy to understand. I am only 2 modules in so far but I am finding it extremely helpful already! I have done 2 modules in 3 days and will probably complete the course relatively quickly because it’s easy to get through yet very informative (and I have a legit interest and passion for it!). Can’t wait to take more pictures, but this time on the manual setting on my camera instead of automatic (have been too nervous to venture out...). Can’t wait to see how different my ‘after’ photo is from my ‘before’ one :)

Fantsatic course with lots of up to date, exciting information. My favourite it Stephen's stories in their new portrait course, it really adds a unique and approachable take to the course. I've just signed up to join their new course too, can't wait

Terrible website (awful interface).

Terrible website and interface. Looks like it was designed and built sometime around 1999 (very outdated).

I would not believe the reviews you have read here. I personally believe they are most likely fake reviews. I believe the reduced course fee on Groupon from £499 to £49 is a bit of a scam. Please also look at how many of the 'great reviews' left here are from people who have only left this 1 review on Trustpilot.

Again, this is TERRIBLE! I highly recommend you avoid!

After looking through the '1st module' it was obvious this is outdated and very basic at best. You would find far far better free courses on YouTube.

+ Yes, I created a TrustPilot account to review this company so this is my first review though intend to review many more (all my reviews including this one will be very genuine).

Reply from iPhotography Course

We're sorry to receive your review.

However, we note the following:

1. You joined the course at around 1 am on Tues 5th Feb.
2. You did not complete a single module of the course.
3. You spent less than 30 mins on our website in total.
4. You posted this review at around 2 am in the morning on Tues 5th Feb (1 hour later), again without actually taking any of the course or giving it a fair chance.
5. We have many hundreds of 4 and 5-Star VERIFIED reviews on TrustPilot, Review Trust as well as Groupon UK, USA, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand. Respectfully, these are all legitimate, verified reviews and we would not risk our reputation on fake reviews.
6. You have also only ever left 1 review on Trustpilot yourself (at this point), and therefore it surprising to hear you make a big point of it that many of our students have also only ever left 1 review?
7. The RRP of £499 is correct and we have thousands of customers who have paid full price for this course with tutor support that we offer. This can be proven at anytime.
8. This is the only 1-star review we have ever received in nearly 7 years of running one of the largest online photography courses and communities in the world.

Based on all of the above, we feel justified in saying that this is a grossly unfair, exaggerated and disappointing review and a deliberate attempt to sabotage the strong reputation of iPhotography. It is not a true reflection of the value that over 90,000 iPhotography students have received over the years.

Thank you.

I have taken many online photography courses over the years but I found iphotography course a really refreshing, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable learning experience. The lessons are delivered online professionally through a combination of text, video, animation and beautiful imagery to explain each step in the photography process. While I'm no beginner it was very useful to 'relearn' much of the stuff I already knew but in a different style. The tutors were very helpful too and the gallery is a brilliant and innovative way for learners like me to gain useful feedback to our photos. Well done iphotography!

Good starting point

Loved the course when I first started and had great feedback which was constructive from the tutors....don't seem to get feedback any more or it is not consistent and same people recognised for photos ...

Very impressed and would recommend

I took up photography as a hobby and started by purchasing an entry level DSLR camera. The camera was taking great shots on auto but I wanted to know how to use it properly and use all the features the camera was capable off but did not know where to start.
This course has been incredibly helpful and I have learnt far more than I could have ever imagined and I have only completed 8 of the 18 modules. If you love photography and don't know where to start, then this course will be a great help and benefit you immensely.

Fantastic

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It started off nicely with all the basics. Then gathered speed going into considerable depth most aspects of photography you would require if you wanted to take your photography a little more seriously.. Exciting, challenging rewarding. I got out of this course far more that ever I expected. My understanding, and of course my photography has changed completely for the better. Thank you Iphotography.

Easy, fast, convenient online course surpasses expectations!

Had been wanting to take an online photography class that would help gain a little more insight on what makes a good photo and photographer. This course had it all. The modules were easy to get through and could be accessed on my computer at home or on my iPad on the go! It was very convenient and have already recommended it to friends. With a little dedication and focus, I was able to complete the course in 4-5 weeks time, no problem. I've already noticed a tremendous improvement in the quality of my photographs. I have very happy customers and hope to continue to build an impressive portfolio with what I've learned with iPhotography Course.

Outstanding

The iphotography course has given much insight into the various elements in photography, many of which one would not necessarily think of. I have enjoyed the courses offered, and although I am only planning on using the information to help me better understand how to use my camera more successfully, I do not plan on using the same professionally. The information is certainly there for an individual planning on making a career or augmenting their income.

The only criticism i have of the program originated in the last few courses. I think there are much better materials out there that would teach these areas, so they could be easier understood. I am a photoshop Elements 11 user and teachucomp.com has an extremely easy to follow course for all photoshop programs.

Thank you for your insight and valuable teaching throughout the course.

Iphotographycourse takes you where you wanna go

I have enjoyed every single second with this course. It is so clear, so full of information and tips and gives you so much you need to know. I started when I had just bought my first DSLR ever, and didn't have much skills or even the knowledge, what would be possible with my camera. Now, when I have finished the Iphotographycourse, I feel very sure and comfortable with my camera and what is really important is, that I feel confident and even talented as a photographer! I really loved the course.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

have seen big difference in the standard of my images.

I have graded it 4 stars due to the amount I have learnt and have improved with my photography.
However, although tests were easy, I sometimes found that how questions were worded they were a little hard to understand occasionally. I understand that aspects needed repeating in different styles for people to grasp it, but with some things it was too repetitive. To be honest half way through I got a little bored of the course, just reading powerpoint like presentations. If different methods had been used throughout, example more videos like in modules 17 & 18, I think I may have stayed focused on the course and completed it quicker.
I have got a lot from the course though, and would recommend a photography course to anyone that has an interest.
