# How do I invite an instructor who teaches at another school?

Use 'Invite from another school' in Instructor Management to bring an existing FASS instructor onto your team. They'll get a notification, accept, and start appearing on your school's listing — keeping their existing profile at their primary school. You can upload a custom photo for them in your school's uniform without affecting how they look elsewhere.

## Quick answer

Instructor Management → 'Invite from another school' → enter their email + role. They'll see a banner in their dashboard and accept. Once active, you can upload a custom photo of them in your school's uniform — only visible on your listing.

## How do I invite an instructor who teaches at another school?

Many instructors split their time between schools — they might teach for one school in the Alps in winter and another at a UK dryslope in summer, or simply work freelance across two or three schools at the same resort. **Find a Ski School supports this directly**: an instructor can be affiliated with as many schools as want them, with each school controlling their own listing, uniform, and reviews.

This article covers the school owner’s side: how to invite an existing FASS instructor to also teach at your school.

## When to use this vs the regular "Invite Instructor"

There are two invite buttons in **Instructor Management**:

-   **Invite Instructor** — for someone who isn’t on Find a Ski School yet, or someone you’ve already added as a row on your team but who hasn’t claimed their account. They get an email with a magic link to set up their profile from scratch.
-   **Invite from another school** — for someone who already has an instructor profile at a different ski school on FASS. Brings them onto your team without creating a new profile or duplicating their data.

If in doubt, search Instructor Management first. If you can’t find them on FASS at all, use **Invite Instructor**. If you can find their public profile under a different school, use **Invite from another school**.

## How to invite

1.  Go to your dashboard → **Team → Instructors**.
2.  Click **Invite from another school** (next to the regular "Invite Instructor" button).
3.  Enter the instructor’s **email address** — the one they use to sign in to FASS.
4.  Pick a **working arrangement**:
    -   **Part-time** (default) — they teach here and elsewhere.
    -   **Freelance** — independent contractor, hired per booking.
    -   **Guest** — temporary or seasonal arrangement.
    -   **Permanent** — they work full-time at your school. Rare for a multi-school invite — usually their primary school owns this.
5.  Optional: add a short message ("hey, would love to have you for the Easter holidays").
6.  Click **Send invitation**.

The instructor will see a banner at the top of their dashboard the next time they sign in, with **Accept** and **Decline** buttons.

## What happens after they accept

-   Your school appears on their public profile under "Also teaches at".
-   They appear on your school’s public listing (the **Instructors** section on `/schools/your-slug`).
-   They show up in your team management list with the role you picked.
-   You can now upload a custom photo of them in your school’s uniform (see below).

## Uploading a custom photo for your school

Each school owns the photo of their instructors on their own listing — independently of how that instructor looks at any other school they teach at. Useful when:

-   Your school has a uniform and you want all instructors photographed in it.
-   The instructor’s default profile photo is too casual / too action-shot for your brand.
-   You’ve done a professional team photo session and want those photos on your listing.

To upload one:

1.  Open **Instructor Management**, expand the instructor’s row.
2.  Find the **Photo on this school’s listing** section.
3.  Click **Upload photo**, pick the file (max 5MB; JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF).
4.  The thumbnail switches to full opacity to confirm the override is active.

To revert to the instructor’s default photo, click **Use default**.

The instructor can also upload their own per-school photo from their dashboard — last save wins between you and them, so coordinate if you both want to manage it.

## Re-inviting after a decline

If the instructor declines, the invitation is closed but you can re-invite the same email any time. They’ll see the new invitation through their instructor workspace. You don’t need to change any settings — just click **Invite from another school** again with the same email.

## Removing an affiliated instructor

In **Instructor Management**, expand their row and click **Remove from team**. This:

-   Sets the affiliation to "ended" — they stop appearing on your school’s listing.
-   Doesn’t affect their primary school or their public profile.
-   Doesn’t delete past bookings, reviews, or history with your school.

The instructor can also leave your school themselves from their **My Schools** tab.

## Common questions

**Can I invite an instructor who already has a profile at MY school?** Not via this flow — they’re already affiliated with you as their primary school. Use the regular instructor management features.

**Will the instructor’s reviews from other schools show on my listing?** No. Reviews are scoped to the school where the lesson was booked. Reviews you accumulate at your school stay on your school’s listing.

**Does adding an affiliated instructor count toward my plan’s instructor limit?** Yes — every active instructor on your school counts the same, whether they’re permanent staff or part-time affiliates.

**What if the email isn’t recognised?** The instructor needs to be registered on FASS first. If they don’t have a profile yet, ask them to register at `/register-instructor`, then re-invite once they’re live.
