What are the main indicators that help in becoming an instructor-partner?

Hello Dear Instructors!

Recently I have been wondering about the main indicators that affect on becoming an Udemy instructor-partner.

Do you have any suggestions & tips what helps to overall reach this point? ( of course it's obvious that you need to be great instructor, spread a lot of courses, and work work work ), but actually I'm interested more about this topic and maybe you have some experience about it!

Question: Do the engagement in Instructor community helps? I mean if you are spreading the knowledge & helping in that field does Udemy look on it like you are really engaged and eager to grow the Udemy community. And thanks to it more trust you for example?

Thanks for all of the answers!

Hi @KrystianWojtarowicz 

There is information HERE to read. 

Good luck! 

The Instructor Partner Program is an official program for Udemy Business instructors to partner more closely with Udemy and other motivated instructors. The program provides participating instructors with access to expanded technical support, special networking events, potential new marketing opportunities, and more.  

Instructor Partners are expected to dedicate at least 1-2 hours per month to actively participating in the program events and feedback loops, in addition to routine course maintenance. 

How can instructors qualify for the program?

To qualify for the Instructor Partner Program, instructors must meet the following requirements:

• High course rating: Maintain an average instructor rating of 4.4+ or higher (to be reviewed every 6 months)
• Udemy Business Impact: Have at least three courses that are currently included in the Udemy Business collection.
• Content freshness: Have published at least one new course or made updates to existing courses in the past 90 days 
• Policy compliance: Are in compliance with our legal terms and trust and safety policies.

How to apply for the Instructor Partner Program

Applications are accepted and reviewed every six months, and the application cycles generally begin in June and December, respectively. Instructors who believe they qualify for this program are invited to complete the Instructor Partner Program interest form to be notified when the application re-opens. Please note that program capacity is limited and not all instructors who qualify will be admitted. For more details on the Instructor Partner Program, please visit our Teaching Center FAQ.
