How the Sign Up Process Works
Prospective teachers can access our sign up form at any time by heading to skillshare.com/teach. The form requires you to categorize your content, provide an outline of your class and agree to our Terms & Content Guidelines. If you’re new to Skillshare, be sure to check out our article, How Learning on Skillshare Works, for a high-level overview of how Skillshare classes are structured.
Your application must be approved through our submission process. You don't need approval from us for any subsequent classes you want to teach, but all classes you publish to Skillshare must follow our Class Quality Guidelines.
Once you’ve been approved to teach, you’ll receive access to our class upload tool that will enable you to publish a class at any time, as well as an onboarding packet that aims to help set you up for success and provide insight into what a great Skillshare class looks like!. If your submission to teach is not accepted, you are welcome to apply again in the future.
