What does the training programme offer?

Alison developed a training programme to create entrepreneurial opportunity for those who would like to build and publish online courses. Your journey to becoming a fully qualified Alison Course Creator happens in three stages.

Terms & Conditions

The terms and conditions of the Alison Course Creator training programme, as well as the structure of the programme, may change at any time. You engage with the programme entirely at your own risk. While Alison invites you to apply to become qualified as an Alison Course Creator, it does not guarantee work to any individual Course Creator. Alison does not pay trainees until they have passed Level 2 in the training programme. There may be some exceptions if the quality of the work delivered by a trainee justifies it. The decision to pay trainees is entirely up to the Alison Publishing Department. All decisions are final.

We are operating at full capacity and are not currently hiring new Course Creators, however you are welcome to make an application and proceed to train as a Qualified Alison Publisher (QAP).

• Level 1 is achieved once your application is submitted and you have successfully completed the required training courses.
• Level 2 is when your work meets strict quality standards and you create and publish your first course on the Alison website.
• Level 3 is when you are ready to offer your publishing skills to subject matter experts who need help converting their content into online courses. You can only achieve this level after publishing four high-quality courses on the Alison website.
