Some schools run an affiliate programme: people the school approves share a personal link or coupon, and earn a commission on the purchases it brings in. Everything happens in the Affiliate dashboard.

Becoming an affiliate

There is no self-service application on this portal. The school creates your affiliate profile and links it to your account by your email address. Ask the school if you would like to join. Until your profile is linked, the dashboard says No approved affiliate profile is linked to your user account yet. (and shows the status of any earlier application).

Your affiliate dashboard

  1. Step 1: Sign in to the school's portal

    With the account your affiliate profile is linked to.

  2. Step 2: Open /affiliate/dashboard

    Bookmark it; there is no menu link to it.

  • If the buyer clicked several affiliates' links, the school's rule decides: by default the most recent link wins.
  • Only paid purchases earn commission. Free enrolments and your own purchases don't.
  • The commission is a percentage or a fixed amount, as the school set for you or for the product.
