How do I set up my instructor profile?

Open My profile in your instructor dashboard and check the selected instructor profile before editing.

If an account has been prepared for you

Open the profile address from your invitation and select Activate and edit your profile, then enter your setup code. You can also use the setup button in your email or Activate your account with your account email and code. Spaces, hyphens, and letter case do not matter in the code.

Review the displayed account email, confirm it is yours, and choose your own password. Opening the link or checking the code does not use the invitation; saving the password does. Complete any additional sign-in check shown before editing your profile. If you already chose a password, sign in instead.

If a code does not work, check the complete email and code, use the full link from the invitation, or ask the sender for a new invitation. A newer invitation replaces earlier setup links and codes. After refreshing the setup page, reopen the original complete link. A temporary connection error has a Try again option and does not mean the invitation has been used.

After three incorrect codes, code entry pauses for 15 minutes and the platform administrators are alerted so they can help. The profile address stays available. If a correct code has expired, the profile activation screen lets you enter your account email and request another invitation to that inbox. Check your latest setup email after a replacement. Review the details and select Publish when the profile is ready and eligible; activation does not publish it automatically.

Complete the useful details

Add a clear profile photo and an accurate bio. Describe the activities you teach, the learners you work with, your languages, and your experience. Select the specialities, age ranges, and experience levels you actually teach from the available options.

Use the qualification controls under Qualifications for the governing body, certification, and supporting details requested there. Qualification systems differ; do not translate every qualification into a universal one-to-four scale.

Select Save Profile for your profile edits. Photo uploads have their own Save photo confirmation. Check the saved public profile when it is published. A profile claim is not an independently checked credential unless the platform explicitly displays a separate evidence-specific check.

Draft profiles and publication

Saving a profile does not publish a draft. Where your profile is eligible for self-publication, the save bar offers Publish and explains any missing requirement. Save changes first, then select Publish when you want the profile public. Some profiles need the independent listing completed or published first; use Complete your independent listing when offered. Moderation, inactive-profile, or ownership restrictions can require support and cannot be removed by saving the bio.

An already published profile does not need a second publication action after every normal edit.

Schools and profile photos

Use My schools to accept invitations, manage your primary affiliation, or set a photo for a particular school. Changing the primary school is separate from changing your name or bio.

Verification and availability

Open the Verification and Verification status pages for your application's current checklist and review state. Address requests for more information in the application; submitting documents is not approval. An administrator makes the decision. For an expiring approval, follow the dashboard licence notice and renewal guidance; submitting a renewal does not extend the current expiry.

Set your working hours in Availability. A complete public profile by itself does not open online checkout: the school or independent business must also meet the applicable booking and payment requirements.
