How to Become a KelbyOne Member

Updated

You can become a KelbyOne member by going to the site's "Become a Member" link, which leads to the pricing page at kelbyone.com/pricing. KelbyOne describes itself as an educational membership community offering training for Photoshop, Lightroom, and photography, so a membership is the path to that training rather than a one-off purchase. The exact price, plan tiers, and any free trial are not stated on the page, so check the pricing page itself before deciding.

What a KelbyOne membership is for

KelbyOne positions itself as a membership community built around creative education. According to the site, its focus is "incredible training for Photoshop, Lightroom and Photography made affordable for everyone." If your goal is structured instruction in those areas, membership is the intended way in.

The site also points to related offerings beyond an individual plan:

  • Group Memberships – for teams or organizations rather than a single person
  • Member Discounts – savings tied to membership status
  • Courses and Instructors – the training content and the people who teach it
  • LIVE Events – scheduled sessions listed on the site

Steps to join

  1. Go to members.kelbyone.com (or kelbyone.com) and find the Become a Member link.
  2. Follow it to the pricing page at kelbyone.com/pricing.
  3. Review the plans and pricing shown there, since the site does not publish the numbers elsewhere.
  4. Complete sign-up through the option you choose.
  5. After joining, sign in to reach member content such as courses.

If you already have an account, the separate path is Sign In rather than Become a Member — see the related question on signing in to KelbyOne.

Choosing between options

Option Who it suits What the site confirms
Individual membership One person wanting course access "Become a Member" is the main call to action
Group membership Teams or organizations "Group Memberships" is listed
Member discounts Members looking for savings "Member Discounts" is listed

The page does not specify what each tier includes or costs, so compare them on the pricing page before committing.

Common sticking points

  • Price is not on the landing page. You have to open the pricing page to see any figures; don't assume a cost or a free tier from the homepage alone.
  • Signing in vs. joining are different actions. "Sign In" is for existing accounts; "Become a Member" starts a new one.
  • Membership is the access model. The training is framed as a membership benefit, so expect ongoing membership rather than a single course purchase.
