FAQ

I’ve never created a course before.
Could you give me an idea of the size of a typical course?

The courses we publish and promote are typically structured into between 5 and 10 modules. Each module contains approximately 4000 words and provides 3-5 hours of study. We expect courses to include a minimum of 20 000 words of content in total.

Are there guidelines to help me plan and create my course?

Yes, as soon as you sign up as a tutor, expressing your interest in creating a course, we’ll send you a toolkit with clear guidelines, helpful tips and inside knowledge on how to plan, structure and compile the content for a great course that meets students’ expectations.

How much will it cost me to create a course?

It won’t cost you anything! You compose and create the content yourself. Even the practical elements that we recommend you include can usually be done with free online tools and technology.
