    Hi @IAIP
    , it looks like the first two posts were published in Published Instructor Club, a space for our published instructors. The last post should be accessible to you. What do you see when you click the link?

  • Hi, I do have the same issue. It is saying access denied! Trying to read on how can I create my first course!

    It seems like these two posts were made on the Published Instructor Club, a space for our published instructors, this is the reason why you see access denied, but here are some great resources regarding course creation:

    Course Quality Checklist

    Teaching Center

    Udemy Insights Courses

    Wistia Course Creation Compilation

    Hope this helps!

    Eliana Cerna

  • Oh yes, I figure it out that those will be available after I upload my first course.

    Thank you very much!
