It’s been a long time coming. It’s finally here and I’m very excited to share it with you

I know we always say we’re ‘excited' about every bit of news, like when we announce to our socials that we have a new lens cap, but this time I REALLY mean it!!

Nick Church Creative Academy has been in the making for a few years, derailed by COVID, and now ready to share with you so I’m over the moon!

What Is the ‘Nick Church Creative Academy’?

The Nick Church Creative Academy is my NEW online training programme for photographers and creatives at all stages of their journey. Featuring all new content around photography, editing, business and more, all based on my proven approach to education.

Before you read on, please join this email list so I can keep you updated with details of the launch with no commitment. As an early bird you will also receive FREE membership upon launch.

How Did We Get Here?

I really love providing education for creatives, and being a part of their learning. I have put a lot of thought into my approach to training and, simply put, it works! At each part of the journey, it just works:

• My beginner photographers are shooting in manual mode and taking full creative control of their cameras in just a single day

• My Adobe Lightroom Classic course attendees go from bewilderment and leave being confident and skilled at managing their photos safely and editing to a fantastic standard

• My advanced and professional course attendees planning to create or develop a business are able to give up their day-jobs within a year of completing my training programme

More Access, More Value

I have always provided these training courses on a one-to-one (in person and online) and group workshop basis, and these will continue. But my time is limited and so there’s a cap to the number of people that can benefit.

Further, one-to-one can be quite an investment for some; fine if you’re building a business as you will see a return on that investment, but it can be a barrier for others.

The Nick Church Creative Academy will provide the same, proven approach to training but accessible by anyone, anywhere. A combination of videos, structured training materials, articles and other content, combined with live interaction, will be delivered online through a single, professional platform.

This means the best training content, professionally produced, and delivered to you at a MUCH lower cost.

What does the Nick Church Creative Academy consist of?

The Nick Church Creative Academy will consist of the following, all delivered in a single, professional platform:

• The Courses: Online Training Course Portal for full, quality, structured education and development training programmes. For creatives that need comprehensive online training on a specific topic. Track progress, revisit materials at any time and receive a certificate of completion.

• The Community: A place without the distractions of social meda where photographers can interact, discuss course content, collaborate or just chat about photography. They will benefit from a stream of exclusive content such as tutorials, behind the scenes, discounts to new courses and workshops, and be able to access a channel when I can provide dedicated advice and support for their photography and/or business.

• The Digital Products: Access to a suite of digital products to greatly benefit your creative journey, such as Lightroom Classic presets, example raws, business analysis spreadsheets and much more.

• The in-person workshops: I am planning to grow my in-person workshops and tours to be bigger and better. From the Nick Church Creative Academy platform, members will be able to view and receive discounts on upcoming in-person workshops and book your place all. One-to-one sessions can even be booked, all directly within the same platform.

The Nick Church Creative Academy will launch in Spring 2025. Sign up at the top or bottom of this page to receive no-commitment updates.
