Overview

Skillshare classes cover a wide variety of topics related to creativity, the arts, design, freelance, entrepreneurship, lifestyle, and personal development. There’s a lot of room for unique and specific skills, as well as self expression within these fields, but some topic areas are off-limits on Skillshare. 

We are constantly working to ensure consistency in our classes across Skillshare, but if you see a class on Skillshare that you believe should be prohibited based on our guidelines, please feel free to submit a ticket to report this to our team.

Please note that the list below is non-exhaustive and may change from time-to-time. Teachers who create classes on prohibited topics risk having negative actions taken on their accounts, including account deactivation.
