I started reviewing drop shipping courses well over two years ago and since then there have been dozens of courses that have crept up, others that have come and gone and some that have stuck around for the entire time. Today I'm compiling all the featured drop shipping courses into one post to help you decide which course to buy.
Each course has a link to the full review where I go into all the juicy details including pricing, the guru behind the course and ultimately the course content. It's important to note, high priced courses do not equal better content or coaching so exercise caution before digging deep.
1. eCom Elites
Voted the best drop shipping course for 2020 and recommended to all readers looking for a low priced eCommerce course.
Offering a complete A-to-Z approach it's suitable for beginners, intermediates and advanced users. Regularly updated, it offers over 180 videos and 30 hours of content.
Backed by a 30 day money back guarantee, a powerful Facebook group (6000+ members) and instant account setup using Teachable and Kajabi, it's the only course you need to be in to start your drop shipping adventure.
2. eCommerce Paradise
Known for his industry leading experience selling high ticket products, you'll struggle to find a larger course than eCommerce Paradise by Trevor Fenner.
This really is the most conclusive, overview and step by step guide to starting a high ticket eCommerce business with over 200 videos and 35 hours of content.
Backed by a 30 day money back guarantee and an impressive Facebook community of members, account access is instant thanks to the Teachable platform hosting the content.
3. Product Winner Blueprint
A course designed for everyone, this high quality training series is provided by Australian, Tristan Broughton.
Content is straight to the point, with real life examples sure to get your excitement levels up as you start your eCommerce journey.
If you're looking for high quality videos (75+), regularly updated content and a sophisticated Facebook community, you should give Product Winner Blueprint a look too.
4. Shopify Ninja Masterclass (Kevin David)
It’s a very popular course but quite pricey for those on a budget. Would suit people who are buying into the ‘Kevin David’ brand and know how powerful his content and value is.
5. Ultimate eCom System (Steve Tan)
Another popular course especially those that follow the success of the Tan brothers. While not cheap, it's targeted towards advanced users.
6. eCommerce Empire Builders (Peter Pru)
Widely marketed online, it's another course that's quite popular with beginners and offers a different approach, focusing on Clickfunnels.
7. Royal Blueprint (Chris King)
One of the hottest launches of the year, it's a case study rather than a course but Chris has a huge following so might be something to consider if you want real examples.
8. Store Coach
This was one of the first platforms to ever teach people how to dropship. It's a text based course meaning lots of reading, but it's cheap and offers lots of content.
9. Dropship Lifestyle (Anton Kraly)
Focusing on US dropshipping with local suppliers, it's an expensive course that is promoted widely on social media but is out of reach for most entrepreneurs.
10. eCom Lifestyle (Ricky Hayes)
Another Australian dropshipper, Ricky has created a good course with lots of content to suit a beginner starting out. Lots of coverage online and he's a proven success story.
11. eCom Inner Circle (Arie)
Provides high quality videos and lots of value and has been around for many years now. The course creator knows his stuff and it's obvious there are many successful students.
12. Profitable Online Store (Steve Chou)
One of the godfathers of the eCommerce world, Steve Chou's course has been around for years. It's questionable how often the course is updated and it's quite expensive.
13. eCom Hacks (Jared Goetz)
Widely promoted on social media and Jared claims to have invented 'dropsurfing' to sell his course. An expensive course, but created by well known Shopify expert.
14. eCom Domination (James Beattie)
This course is always relaunched as different versions and is now in V5. Offers 9 weeks of content on learning to dropship.
15. Dropship Club (Wholesale Ted)
A new membership site that costs $67/mo and claims to be better than all the other courses out there. It's up to you to decide, but it offers regularly updated content guides.
16. Simplified Shopify (Scott Hilse)
More of a case study than a course but shows you how Scott went from zero to hero selling a phone case online. Includes additional eCom training that may be beneficial.
17. H-Com 2020 (Alex Becker)
Alex Becker is the guy that keeps interrupting your Youtube videos to tell you about wolf mugs and how he made money. He ultimately sells you on his other product, Market Hero.
18. eCom Beast (Harry Coleman)
A course that's been around for years, that is guaranteed to help you learn the process but comes at a cost.
19. Course Closed
A popular Australian who likes to flaunt his wealth on Instagram and news outlets. He does have a course but it has mixed reviews and is quite expensive, so do your own research.
20. eComm Hacks (Zak Folkman)
A similar name as Jared's course, it's overpriced and was promoted heavily by Zak and his business partners to sell the dream. Does offer good content but comes at a huge price tag.
Older Course Reviews
These courses may no longer be around, have closed or are still active. I've gone through and looked at the analytics of each post and if it was getting less than 20 visits per week it's listed below.

Hi Rhys,
As an Australian looking to start drop shipping, should I give priority to Tristan’s course over Franklin’s?
Also, am I correct to assume that there are no barriers to me starting a dropshipping business while on a vacation outside of my home country as long as I have a good internet connection and a PC (and time)?
Thanks.
Both courses are high level in terms of starting out but Tristan would be for someone a bit more advanced who doesn’t need an A-Z course. If you want to relate to a fellow Aussie businessman then of course Tristan’s course is a good idea.
There are no barriers to entry and you can start learning anywhere you have an internet connection.
All the best with your drop shipping journey.
Rhys
Hey Rhys,
Between Franklin’s and Tristan’s course, which course would benefit a complete beginner with no experience of eCommerce and facebook ads?
Thanks,
Dan
Hi Dan,
I’d definitely go with Franklin’s course as it’s a more A to Z course with over 150 videos. The Facenook ads section is super long and detailed too.. step by step. Definitely the course of choice for beginners.
Hope that helps you? Let me know if I can help in anyway.
Hi Rhys
Did you hear about Kevin David course?
If yes what do you think about them?
Thank you!
I’ve reviewed this recently, it’s a good course, slightly pricey compared to others but offers lots of value.
How is his course compared to Franklins?
Awesome post! Thanks for sharing. I was just wondering if you’ve take Kevin David’s Shopify course? And if so where would it rank on your list. I’m not sure how it compares to others and I’m considering buying another course.

Hi Zouhier, I recommend eCom Elites. It will be fine if you speak English as there is no subtitles. You can read my review here.
What would you recommend as the top dropshipping course for amazon?
Have you done a review on Chris Wane’s Advanced Dropshipping Academy?
What do you think about digilism course, more specifically the Kndall one? It´s priced at 1000
Hi, Rhys
Im brazilian and I was thinking about to start dropshipping on EBAY.com instead Shopify.
What do you think? Do u think it works for a non US citizen?
I noticed that most of courses you recomend is using Shopify, why?
If dropshipping on EBAY works for brazilians could u recomend a course?
Thanks!
I think the margins are too tight on eBay, it does work but you might be lucky to get 10% profit. Once you add eBay fees, Paypal fees you’re talking 15% whereas a Shopify store might have 2% transaction fees.
You’re also up against anyone with the same product, most people search based on number of sales or price which larger sellers who’ve been selling for years ultimately hold status on.
Most of the courses for eBay I’ve reviewed seem to skip over the actual costs of doing business so I can’t recommend a course, you can checkout my other reviews using the keyword ‘ebay’ in the search box to find them.
Personally Shopify is a far better platform combined with paid traffic.
Great review, very useful when you’re in the process of choosing the best drop shipping course. You’ve made it very easy to choose the best fit-course!
Thanks 🙂
Hey, love your website, it is super informative.
I was going through your reviews and was looking for a specific guru (kevin princeton) but you seem to not have a review on his FB course on udemy yet, do you think udemy courses can be of as much value as the courses you have mentioned here ?
I would love to get eCom elites but not enough capital to sustain the course and the adspend. do you have any advice on how to raise money online, and please mention resources that could be available to Nigeria.
Thanks.
Great Info! I found it very useful. Thank you very much:)
I was wondering if you have heard of ‘Advanced Dropshipping Academy’ ?
https://www.advanceddropshipping.com
Could you do a review for ‘Advanced Dropshipping’ course?
Thanks!
You can view the review here.
I have a Shopify store set up but I need a course to help me develop it to say I’m in the beginning, please advise.
eCom Elites is probably the best course for you.
Are all of the ones you’ve reviewed by men?! I’m looking for a recommended one by a female…
Of the 81 courses, only 2 that are still active are by women. Wholesale Ted dropship club and Iyia Liu. Both were pretty average courses and not recommended.
Nice! I am trying to get started in dropshipping and this review is just what I needed
Are there any courses for drop shipping from the U.K. ?
What course would you recommend for branded dropshipping?
Hi,
What are your thoughts regarding Kevin zhang dropshipping course?
I’ve done a review on this.
Hello! I can do dropshipping from Colombia?
Such a great post-wish I had read it sooner. You have put a lot of work into this. What about Dropship Unlocked and Simon Vernon’s course too? Both for the UK market? Both did Anton’s Course and then broke off to form their own courses.
What’s the best dropping shipping course for people in the UK?
Do you have any information on Ecom capital out of Australia?
