It depends on which material you leave out. You mentioned that the first 75% of the course is a "solid entity on its own," so I assume that the last 25% are not strictly necessary? For instance, if a student can complete the first 75% just fine without missing key pieces of information, you should be fine. An example could be that your first 75% covers fundamentals and the last 25% cover advanced topics that are not strictly necessary. In that case you would be fine doing two releases. It's a quite common strategy actually, especially for those with small audiences, because they can then verify that there is an audience for their course before proceeding. Since you have been working on the course for three months full time, I suppose you have at least a couple of hours of material already, so that should be good as well. Based on what you wrote, you should be fine doing a first release and then releasing additional lectures afterwards. On a side note, Udemy won't have to review your course for the second release; you can simply edit your curriculum and the lectures will be published immediately. Best of luck, and I hope you get your course out there sooner than later! 🙂
