Teach on Academy

RAiN Academy is a multi-provider platform: verified trainers publish their courses to the network's learners — experts building their careers on RAiN. If you teach practical AI skills, this is your channel to them.

Who can teach

Training providers are verified before publishing — RAiN reviews who you are and the quality of what you plan to teach. This keeps the catalog worth a learner's time (and your course in good company).

Getting started, step by step

  1. Open Academy and click Teach on Academy.
  2. Register as a training provider and tell us about yourself and your teaching.
  3. Once approved, your Training Center opens — where you author and manage courses.
  4. Create your first course: title, description, what learners will be able to do afterwards — and a cover image (16:9 works best; any photo is cropped and optimized automatically). Courses with covers stand out in the catalog.
  5. Build it out as modules (chapters) containing lessons (the content) — write, structure, and reorder freely.
  6. Add a quiz to each module so learners prove what they've picked up.
  7. Submit for review. Approved courses go live in the catalog under your provider name.

Lesson video

Every lesson can carry a video. You have two options:

Upload the file. Choose the file in the lesson editor and it uploads straight to RAiN's storage, up to 2 GB. Keep the tab open until it finishes: the upload is a single transfer, so if your connection drops you'll need to start it again. On a slow line, a smaller file is a kinder file — for both you and your learners, who stream exactly what you upload.

Paste a link. A YouTube or Vimeo watch URL works too, and costs nothing to host. Note that YouTube may run its own ads on your lesson and you don't control that, so weigh it for paid course content.

If a pasted link can't be played, the lesson now says so instead of showing an empty player. Use the normal watch URL (youtube.com/watch?v=… or youtu.be/…), not the address of the YouTube Studio editing page, and make sure the video is Unlisted rather than Private — private videos refuse to embed anywhere.

Uploaded videos are served over expiring links, so a lesson file can't be shared or hotlinked outside the course.

Remember to save the lesson after the upload finishes.

What makes a course land well

  • Teach doing, not theory — RAiN learners are here to deliver client work. Anchor lessons in real tasks.
  • Small lessons, clear outcomes — one idea per lesson, one skill per module.
  • Use the free-preview lessons well — they're your storefront; make the first lesson genuinely useful.
  • Point at practice — where a skill can be exercised in RAiN's own tools (like RAiN AI Studio), say so and let the platform be the lab.

Your logo and signature on certificates

When a learner finishes your course, Academy issues them a certificate. Two marks on it are yours to supply, in Training Center → Logo & signature:

  • Logo — a PNG with a transparent background works best.
  • Signature — signed on white paper and photographed is fine; a transparent PNG is better.
  • Authorized trainer — the name of the person who signs for you, printed under that signature. This is a person, not your organisation: your provider name appears separately.

Only an owner of your Training Center can change these. A signature says a named person stands behind the credential, so it isn't open to the whole team.

Where the marks sit on the page is set by the Academy, not by you. That's deliberate: every certificate the network issues holds the same shape, so an employer who has seen one can read all of them. You supply the marks; the layout stays constant.

If you upload nothing, the certificate still issues — it carries your provider name in text.

Seeing what you've issued

Training Center to Certificates lists every credential you've awarded: the learner, the course, the date and the certificate ID. Each row opens the same verification page an employer sees, so when someone quotes an ID at you, you can check it in one click. There's a CSV export, and a search across learner, course and certificate ID.

The list is read-only. Certificates are issued automatically the moment a learner completes your course, and only the Academy can revoke one.

FAQs

Does it cost anything to publish? Publishing is part of being a verified provider on the network — pricing and revenue terms are agreed when you register as a provider.

Can I update a course after it's live? Yes — edit in your Training Center; substantial changes may be reviewed again before going live.

Who owns my content? You do. Publishing on Academy licenses it to the network's learners; it doesn't transfer ownership.

How do learners find my course? The catalog lists every published course with its provider. Strong descriptions, previews, and completions do the marketing.

Can my organization have multiple authors? Start with your provider account; talk to the RAiN team about team authoring if you need it.
