Digital Course Academy Review (2025): An In Depth Look

May 13, 2024

Group of five diverse women, Former DCA Students standing and smiling together with Amy Porterfield in front of a white wall, radiating joy and connection. This image represents the supportive community and success stories highlighted in the Digital Course Academy Review 2025.

Are you thinking about enrolling in Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy (DCA)?

If so, I bet you’re wondering what the “online course about online courses” is all about and whether it’s worth the investment.

Am I right?

In this review of Digital Course Academy (not to be confused with a digital product academy review), we’ll take a look at the online course modules, Amy’s bonuses, and the additional bonuses you can get through affiliate partnerships.

We will help you make an informed decision about whether DCA is right for you.

Let me introduce myself

Jamie Trull smiling at the camera.

If you do not already know me, my name is Jamie Trull and I am a financial literacy coach and profit strategist.

I want to share about the online course that changed my life and the trajectory of my online business.

My personal experience with Digital Course Academy has given me firsthand insight into the program, which shapes this review.

You should know before we get too far that I am an Affiliate Partner for Amy’s DCA program, which means I participate in Amy Porterfield’s affiliate program.

As an affiliate, I earn a commission if you enroll through my link. Plus, I offer exclusive additional bonuses to complement Amy’s program.

When you click on my links you may get referred to me which just means that if you decide that DCA is right for you and you use my link to enroll, you will also get all of my AH-MAZING bonus offers worth over $1,800

As well as everything Amy is giving you!

These are additional bonuses provided through the affiliate program, separate from Amy’s bonuses.

Amy’s bonuses are included as part of the main program. As an affiliate, I offer extra additional bonuses to further enhance your experience.

I call that a win-win.

If it’s possible for me, it’s possible for you, too!

But first…meet Amy Porterfield, the genius marketer who created Digital Course Academy

Amy Porterfield smiling while seated at a desk with a laptop, symbolizing the approachable and empowering vibe of her Digital Course Academy (DCA) 2025 program.

Amy Porterfield is an online business and marketing strategist. Beyond that, she is a recognized expert in the field of online course creation.

Amy has helped thousands of business owners create and launch profitable digital courses. Her own digital courses have grossed millions of dollars.

Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Huffington Post, and more have written about Amy’s amazing success.

Amy is often compared to other leaders in the field, such as Marie Forleo, highlighting her influence in online business and digital marketing.

Amy’s podcast is a valuable resource where she shares personal success stories, professional connections, and opportunities that have arisen from her programs, helping her audience learn and network.

And to me, Amy started as a mentor and now I am so happy to call her a friend of mine too. As soon as Amy became my mentor my audience grew and so did my vision for the future of my business!

Jamie Trull smiling at her turquoise desk in a bright home office. As a successful course creator, she represents the transformation possible through Amy Porterfield DCA 2025 for entrepreneurs ready to launch their own course.

I made almost $50,000 in my first launch following the DCA Framework.

How Digital Course Academy Changed My Online Business

When I say that I understand what it’s like to want to create an online course but not understand where to start, I mean it. This is just where I was in the fall of 2019.

Working with 1-1 clients burned me out.

Like many, I was looking for a way to transition out of the corporate world and into entrepreneurship for more flexibility and impact.

A digital course seemed like the best way to build the life I wanted to live. A life that put my desired priorities of family and meaningful work before all else.

After investing in DCA for my own business, I began my online course creation journey in 2020. By joining DCA, I joined digital learning and became part of the online education community.

Meeting Amy and investing in DCA gave me the support and guidance I needed to 10x my business and ultimately change my life. Through creating online courses, I was able to launch my own course and experience the full process from idea to launch.

I now have two profitable and thriving digital courses.

My first launch generated nearly $50K in sales. Creating my own online courses has allowed me to earn passive income and opened up opportunities to make more money over time.

I credit the valuable information I learned in Digital Course Academy.

I teach financial literacy and profit strategy to business owners. We’ve evolved into selling digital products as well.

And it was Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy that set it all in motion in just a few months.

Learn more about my journey with Digital Course Academy and grab my favorite resources for digital course creators.

Why I love Digital Course Academy

Amy Porterfield and Jamie Trull smiling together inside a smartphone mockup promoting Digital Course Academy. This image represents the power of online marketing and the ability to build and sell your own online courses with expert guidance.

I’ve taken Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy many times since 2020.

Now I want to give my honest thoughts about the program.

I want you to know from the beginning that while I am a proud affiliate for Digital Course Academy, the reason that I’m an affiliate:

I’ve taken this program and it has transformed my entire business!

DCA has helped many students just like me create a successful course that generates real results.

If it’s possible for me, it’s possible for you, too!

Did Digital Course Academy MAKE me successful?

Of course not. I had to put in the work.

But it was the key TOOL that I utilized as a framework to build and sell my online course. DCA is known for helping people launch successful online courses that lead to significant growth.

Without it, I could have spent YEARS in trial and error mode, overloading on free content that didn’t get me anywhere, and wondering why all my effort just wasn’t working.

If it’s possible for me, it’s possible for you, too!

My results from Digital Course Academy inspired this review

My very first launch made close to $50,000.

I used the webinar fill-up formula that Amy teaches. Hosting a live webinar was a key strategy for promoting my course and engaging my audience in real time.

List building is also a crucial part of launching a course, and the program provides proven strategies and resources to help you grow an engaged email list.

Another important strategy covered is how to pre-sell your course, allowing you to validate your course idea and generate early revenue before the full launch.

So the $2,000 I invested was well worth it for me and has been well worth it for many, many, many other course creators.

What You’ll Find Inside DCA 2025

Here are the other intangibles you will receive before your first profitable launch:

  • Save time spent on trial and error.
  • Save time researching on the internet.
  • Accountability from like-minded peers.
  • Resources and checklists that give you a path to follow.
  • Access to the woman herself, Amy Porterfield, through live Q&As.

Why the 2025 Digital Course Academy is the best DCA yet

DCA was already amazing and invaluable to me but for 2025, Amy and her team have completely re-imagined and streamlined the course.

This means that the content is better than ever.

Now, DCA is a comprehensive online training program designed to help you take action faster than ever before, with even more helpful tips and knowledge than when I started a few years ago.

And yes, 2025 DCA implements AI in the strategies!

The 2025 Digital Course Academy includes:

  • recorded lessons organized into detailed course modules
  • resources, guides, and checklists
  • a private podcast
  • and weekly Facebook lives with Amy inside a private Facebook group
  • Plus, you get access to valuable mini courses as bonus content to enhance your learning experience

It can be tough to know where to start when it comes to creating an online course.

There are many pieces to the online course creation puzzle. You must find your topic. Then you must plan and build your content.

You also must design your sales page and set up your email and course delivery systems.

DCA is THE answer to creating the BEST online courses.

This comprehensive program walks you through every step of the process.

From coming up with a great idea for a course, all the way through marketing and selling it. You also get access to like-minded entrepreneurs in the private Facebook group.

What you can expect with the 2025 Digital Course Academy

Amy provides clear action steps and helpful tools to create your own digital course.

She includes PDFs and worksheets to guide you in every lesson.

DCA is perfect for those who are afraid of technology (like I was!). The technology tutorials alone make the investment worth it for many students.

The step-by-step process videos within the tech library are resources that you can go back to again and again. Amy guides you slide by slide through key presentations and tutorials, making it easy to follow along and understand each part of the process.

Plus, if you need help with online marketing strategies, Amy’s program will give you ideas for days.

With a step-by-step process for each!

And of course, there will be bonuses!

This year, you can watch AND listen on your own time.

That’s because Amy created a private podcast for the 2025 Digital Course Academy.

How awesome is that?

DCA covers everything from creating your course to marketing and selling it. And if you’re a get-er-done business owner?

Overachievers can get a headstart if they want to!

The DCA team condensed content delivery for the 2025 Digital Course Academy.

Lessons are now delivered in six weeks with three weeks for implementation.

The 2025 timeline includes strategic implementation weeks

This course covers all aspects of creating, marketing, and delivering an online course. Plus, you’ll get in-depth tips and tutorials on how to perfect your tech setup. 

One of Amy Porterfield’s strengths is her attention to detail. She does not disappoint during DCA! 

Amy goes through each module in great detail, step-by-step, from start to finish.

Once you’ve completed DCA, you will map out your entire course creation journey.

One of the standout features of Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy is the incredible support system built into every step of the program.

This community is more than just a place to ask questions—it’s a space where you can share wins, get feedback on your course idea, and find motivation when you need it most.

The DCA Format Is Easy To Follow

The Digital Course Academy is organized into clear, actionable modules, each focusing on a key aspect of creating and launching digital courses.

The first module helps you define your ideal customers, validate your course idea, and lay the foundation for a successful online course.

The Digital Course Academy Resource Library Removes Tech Roadblocks

What sets DCA apart is the wealth of additional resources at your fingertips.

The tech library is a lifesaver for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the technical side of course creation. This library offers easy-to-follow tutorials that walk you through every tool and platform you’ll need.

The Q&A vault is packed with answers to common questions, so you can quickly find solutions and keep moving forward.

Amy’s teaching style is both engaging and practical, drawing from her own experience building a successful online business.

She shares not just her wins, but also the lessons learned from her challenges, giving you a realistic and encouraging perspective on what it takes to succeed in the online course space.

Get lifetime access to course materials

And the support doesn’t end when you finish the modules.

With lifetime access to the course content, you can revisit lessons, catch up on bonus training, and stay connected to the DCA community long after your first launch.

This ongoing access is invaluable as you continue to grow your online business and create more digital courses in the future.

Many course creators credit DCA with helping them achieve their first profitable online course launch.

For some, DCA is the catalyst for building a thriving online business.

The combination of a comprehensive program, a supportive community, and expert resources makes Digital Course Academy an ideal choice for anyone ready to fully commit to creating and selling their own digital course.

  • Module 2: Validating Your Course. This one feels super personal to me, Amy invited me on her podcast Marketing Made Easy in 2019 and did a Validating Your Course Idea interview with me. Listen to it here. But the module will give you all the tools you need to plan and implement.
  • Module 3: The Art of Outlining & Recording Your Course. I never would have guessed so much would have gone into recording but I learned so much about how to do this from Amy which helped me to be able to plan and create the right strategy for me. I saved tons of time on mistakes that I would have otherwise made.
  • Module 4: The Digital Course Marketing Blueprint. Trust me when I say The marketing plan in this is very valuable! It includes sales page templates and details to write a converting sales page. I learned so much from this one personally.
