I love the idea, but do you also get certificates? Sadly even in the IT world many corporate companies still require us to show some formal documents that show we do indeed have the skills we claim to have.

If not, I feel it will become an feedback loop where I can only get work from the website. Because I can't show an website to an prospective employer who isn't in on the loop.

Also as an possible educator, how would I get paid? Like do you take an percentage off from the freelance work then distribute between the "required" courses or how does that play out? or do I get an cut from the course payment?

Is there also a going to be a vetting process and/or course structure and/or acceptable courses depending on what they teach?

One last thing, why separately do accounts for instructors and enrolled people? What if I want to both teach and learn?

Hi, Im the cofounder of this app I can also answer your question.

We do not have certificates like the traditional educational system and instead we have a resume-like profile page that shows the courses you have completed and the tasks if you have completed.

This way companies would know that you actually have the knowledge that you claim and can see your practical experience in completing tasks, which is something you won’t be able to prove with just a degree certification.

If you are an instructor you get paid when someone enrols in your course. We have 2 separate accounts for instructors and users for security reasons.

Also, since you’re interested could we invite you to sign up so that we can launch earlier.
