HOW IT WORKS

Each month, a new module will be released with interactive videos and resources that you can work through asynchronously.

Through each module, you will turn in and get feedback on a key assignment. Each assignment builds on the last, guiding you to successfully create and market a course in just three months! 

You'll also benefit from two live workshops each month, including: 

  1. A foundational workshop, where you'll master course creation foundations and strategies

  2. Office hours, where you can bring your questions and get live personalized support

Through the program, you’ll get the opportunity to become a certified Educator Forever Course Developer. This certification allows you to use your skills to create your own courses plus courses for others, too! 

Here’s a peek at the process:

  • Learn how to get feedback on your course before you create it. Connect with potential customers and build a scope and sequence. 

    Assignment: Submit your scope & sequence for feedback 

  • This month, we’ll break down all the tech you need to make powerful online courses. Learn how to create videos, develop supporting materials, and host your course online. 

    Assignment: Submit videos + resources for feedback 

  • Hooray, your course is created!

    Now it’s time to market and sell your course. This month, we’ll find customers and launch your course. 

    Assignment: Submit your marketing plan for feedback 

This program runs from March 1st - May 31st.
