Questions, answered.

Yes. Your course, its final practical and its certificate are free, with no ads and no trial. Packs go deeper on one subject, if you ever want them.

Anyone who takes photos of people: for themselves, for someone they love, for guests at work, or for people on their tours. The app asks which, and your answer picks your course. You can change it any time in Me.

No. Open the app and start. Your progress stays on your phone and, if you use iCloud, in your own iCloud account, so it follows you to a new phone or your iPad. We never see it. Nothing is shared unless you join a team, and then only your first name, the lessons you finish for work and your final practical.

More depth on one subject: advanced composition, photos for two, sharp or soft, portraits, groups and celebrations, outdoors and travel, night and tricky light, and camera skills. $4.99 each, or $19.99 for Lifetime access: every pack, including packs added later. Packs are shared with your family through Family Sharing.

No. Packs are bought in the app. If your venue or tour operator subscribes to PicTrainer, every pack is free for you while you’re on the team.

The app is for iPhone, with iOS 26 or later. What you learn works on any phone, including an Android someone hands you.

A website for your venue: a dashboard of who has joined and how far each person has got, a join code and poster, your best photo spots and house rules (which appear inside the app as lessons for your team), a photo-friendly badge to print, and a short email every Monday.

No. The app and the course are free, and once you subscribe, everyone on your team gets every pack too, at no cost to them.

No. Owners and managers only use this website. You’re welcome to try the app, of course.

They download the free app, tap Me, then “Join your team”, and type or scan your code. They see exactly what you’ll see before they agree.

The app is iPhone only for now. What they learn works on any phone, including a guest’s Android phone they’re handed at the table.

About 43 minutes for the course. Lessons take one to three minutes, so they fit into quiet moments on a shift.

Open Team, choose the person, and tap “Remove from team”. Their progress disappears from your dashboard and they keep the free app.

Make a new code in Join code & poster. Everyone already on the team stays on it; the old code stops working straight away. Print the new poster.

Yes. Add another from the team menu; each has its own code, team and plan. For three or more, talk to us about group pricing.

Certified means the person finished all 23 Core lessons of Guest photography and passed the final practical, the last of them, which checks real photos of a colleague, taken on their own phone.

A website for your company: a dashboard of who has joined and how far each guide has got, a join code and invite link, your photo stops grouped by tour, your guide rules and welcome (which appear inside the app in your guides’ lessons), a listing badge and a meeting-point sticker, and a short email every Monday.

Yes. Guides join with your code on their own iPhone and pay nothing. If they also guide for other companies, they join those too, and each company sees only its own team.

No. The app and the course are free, and once you subscribe, everyone on your team gets every pack too, at no cost to them.

About 48 minutes for the course. Lessons take one to three minutes, so they fit between tours.

By team size: up to 10, 40 or 150 guides, never per guide. More than 150? Talk to us.

Nobody is turned away. Your dashboard shows a note, and we ask you to move up a band at your next renewal.

Only the guides on your team, inside the app. Another company a guide works for never sees them.

Certified means the guide finished all 26 Core lessons of Tour photography and passed the final practical, the last of them, which checks real photos of a colleague, taken on their own phone.

No. The app is free, and while you’re on a team whose venue or tour operator subscribes, every pack is free for you too.

Your first name, the lessons you finish for work (including ones you’d already done), and whether you passed the final practical. Never your photos, your personal lessons, your phone number, anything outside the app, or any other team you’re on.

Join each one with its code. Each sees only its own team, and you see each one’s photo stops and rules.

Leave the team in Me, then join your new one with its code. Your lessons come with you.

The app is iPhone only for now. What you learn works on any phone, including the one a guest or traveler hands you.

In a managed database in the EU (Frankfurt), encrypted at rest and in transit. We don’t sell data or show ads.

No. The app sends no usage counts and uses no analytics service, and practice photos never leave your phone. We hear from you only if you send us feedback.

No. Nobody needs an email address or phone number to use the app or join a team. Joining a team uses a private, anonymous sign-in on the phone.

Owners can delete a team in Settings. It removes the team, its progress, your spots or stops and their photos, straight away.

30 days free with no card: the course for your whole team, your own content in the app, and the dashboard. The packs unlock for your team as soon as you add a card. We remind you a week before and the day before the trial ends.

We email you 7 days and 1 day before. Add a card any time in Plan & billing. If you don’t, nobody new can join and your team goes back to the free app; you can still sign in. Nothing is deleted for 90 days.

Nobody new can join, the Monday email stops, and your team goes back to the free app. You can still sign in, nothing is deleted for 90 days, and it all comes back when you resume.

No. Venues pay one price per location. Tour operators pay by team size, never per guide, however many join.

Yes, with two months free. Choose Yearly on the Pricing page to see the prices.

Yes, in Plan & billing. Moving up starts straight away, and you pay the difference for the rest of the period. Moving down, or from yearly to monthly, starts at your next renewal.

Prices are shown in your currency where we offer it, and otherwise in US dollars. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies, and your invoice shows it.

Every payment has an invoice in Plan & billing, with your business details and tax.

Any time, in two clicks from Plan & billing. The plan runs to the end of the period you paid for, and your team keeps the free app and everything they’ve learned.
