Hello!

Hello ! Completely new on here and thought I read somewhere that first course should be 2hours long - but can’t find where I read that now! The guide says at least 30 minutes of video and at least 5 modules should I just go with that ? And any tips for a first timer. I teach online at the moment, live lessons on Zoom so creating video content is both exciting and daunting !

Hi @TraceyMachh362 Welcome to the community! Our community is a space for instructors to help other instructors, so feel free to jump right in and start asking questions or reading discussions.  

Our minimum requirement for a course is that it contains at least 30 minutes of video content contained within at least 5 lectures. This section includes extensive resources on how you can create a Udemy course and get started.

You can find more information about the course creation process here.

We have a lot of great content to help you create an awesome course. Here are just a few of our most popular posts:

• How to gain potential students before you publish
• Instructor Attitudes, Myths, and Misconceptions
• Sharing this milestone and what I learned along the way

And here’s a great roundup of free & paid resources and a compilation of top posts on creating your course.

I hope that helps!
