Photo reviews
Photos and experiences shared by contributors. Read below how we check submissions.
How reviews and confirmations work
We ask contributors to share a photo they took and their own experience. Reviews go through automated checks. Flagged reviews can be assessed manually. Approval is not a guarantee that a photo is unedited or free of AI generation.
- Email address confirmed means the link sent to that address was used. It does not prove a purchase or the identity of a person.
- Company management confirmed relates to access to this company page. A paid plan does not verify individual reviews.
- A review invitation does not independently prove a purchase. An order reference supplied by a company is not independent purchase verification either.
- Publishing a photo with a review does not automatically permit reuse in marketing. A subscription does not grant that permission either.

The Great Courses positions itself in the mid-range online education segment, targeting curious adults who want to deepen their knowledge on topics they are genuinely passionate about rather than pursuing formal academic qualifications. The catalogue is led by subject matter experts and academics, giving the content a more scholarly feel than typical self-help or hobby video channels. Courses can be purchased outright or accessed through subscription plans such as Signature, Living Classics, and Plus, giving buyers flexibility in how they consume content. The platform is accessible on TV, computer, and mobile devices, which suits learners who prefer to study on their own schedule.
