I want to keep my name private and publish my courses under a pseudonym

[Ninja_At_Tip]

Hi people,

I have a query.

I want to publish my courses under a pseudonym and not my real name.

In my instructors bio, I want to keep my name private.

I see other profiles like https://www.udemy.com/user/the-math-sorcerer/ where the profile image is not real. Even the profile description talks about witches and sorcerors.

Can we use avatars or icons for profile images.

Please help clarify with the rules here.

Hi @Ninja_At_Tip Thank you for asking!

While you can create an account under a pen name or pseudonym, you may be asked to complete additional verification if it differs from your legal name.

Using an image of another individual (whether stock image or artificially generated) is not permitted.

Please contact our Trust & Safety team at policy@udemy.com if you want to get more information about it.

Best regards,
