course pre-approval

I have a 54-episode course based on a recently published book in the development process with 42-minutes of uploaded video content over the first 7-episodes. It's taken me 3-weeks to produce 7-episodes. Can I submit the course for review now with the existing 42-minutes or do I need to produce all 54-episodes before I find out if the course is approved?

You can always add more videos later. However why not wait until you have more episodes? You don't want students to feel like the course is incomplete. In any case I think a course must have at least 30 minutes of video content so it sounds like you are good to go. I might be wrong about waiting but make sure your students are aware that you update the course regularly and there is more amazing content to come. I do feel like 42 minutes is a bit short but perhaps it's enough.

I believe his point is that his content is not yet complete therefore he is not wanting to publish it, he just wants to make sure he is going down the correct path and just needs it reviewed by the admin of Udemy (so he isn’t wasting his time creating the entire course to only find out later that it won’t be approved). I wish I had done this. I’ve spent over 100 hours of my time creating an entire course and now that it is finished, they are nitpicking it and in order for me to get it approved, I will have to go back to the drawing board and rework it all. It’s very frustrating because I’ve seen worse videos get approved with people who can barely speak English teaching a course in English. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
