Are you a professional photographer in need of a skills upgrade? Or would you like to improve your photography abilities in order to diversify your freelance business?

One of the benefits of membership in CMG Freelance is access to the online training platform KelbyOne, which has over 700 training modules on photography, Photoshop and Lightroom.

CMG Freelance members can request full access to the site for a two-week period. When each period runs out, members can reapply for access. There are a limited number of accounts for use by union members, so there may be a short waiting list at times. During your access period, you'll have unlimited access to the KelbyOne online learning resources.

You'll also be able to get discounts through all of KelbyOne's business partners, which include Apple, Adobe, and B&H Photo.

KelbyOne is focused on photography skills, but CMG Freelance members also get access to Lynda.com, which offers video training modules in creative fields like design, audio, music and photography, as well as business, marketing and more.

To request access to either KelbyOne or Lynda.com, members can email CMG Freelance branch president Don Genova at freelance@cmg.ca for further instructions.
