Teachers, Learning Paths and the Full Skillshare Course List
Skillshare teachers. Teachers are the authors, and we record them as billed on their classes - name and headline - plus the Top Teacher badge, follower count and the classes on their public teacher page with students and runtime. The rules they earn under are public: a monthly Teacher Fund split by minutes watched by paid members, royalties only for teachers with 50 followers and enough recent watch time, a $100 engagement reward in the Top Teacher and Rising Teacher programs, and 60% of the first annual fee for each referred member. Set against class counts, students and publish dates by category, those rules show where teachers put their effort.
Learning Paths and lists. Learning Paths are ordered sequences curated by Skillshare with a class count, total hours, materials, final product and level: Lettering in Procreate runs seven classes and 11 h 29 min. Curated lists such as Logo Design Essentials group classes without those fields.
Skillshare Shop. Teachers also sell digital products - brushes, fonts, mockups, templates, eBooks - with a price, file type and size (a $10 color guide ships as a 12.5MB ZIP), and 1-on-1 Sessions with a price or price range, a session type and a currency. Both sell without a membership, and Skillshare keeps a 10% platform fee.
The full course list. The class sitemap lists about 12,300 classes per locale, well short of the 30,000+ in the catalog, so the complete Skillshare course list comes from merging the sitemap with category, subcategory, topic and teacher pages and deduplicating on the SKU.
