Why Bridges Academy?

Picture

Our faculty is comprised of people who, just like you, enjoy sharing what they know and love.  Bridges-Academy can work with you to package and personalize your content as a stunning online course, with a full page dedicated to the features of your class.  Another full page is dedicated to your professional bio.
You teach the classes live online from the comfort of your home or office, or offer pre-recorded classes and downloads, or a combination of both.  It's up to you.  Students enroll for personal growth and/or work skills.  They are guaranteed a full refund for 7 days after purchase and before their course begins (or 3 days, if digital goods are not yet downloaded.) See the link to the full refund policy in our website footer, or click here. 
Attractive certificates of completion or participation may be issued to students as appropriate.
Courses are offered for a tuition fee (although sometimes an instructor will offer free courses).  CEU's (Continuing Education Units) and certifications are available for some courses.
A "Resource Library" page is in development now, featuring free articles and books, and products for purchase (created by our faculty members) and more.  So if you have books or other products that you'd like us to make available, let us know.
In most circumstances faculty pays no upfront fees to Bridges.Academy; we get paid when you do.

Why Offer An Online Course?

Picture
For practitioners wanting to grow their business, offering an online course enables you to confidently attract your ideal client.  An online course with Bridges-Academy can be THE fastest way to grow your business as you access increased income, more clients and continually expand your audience as part of a Community.  Once your course is created it continues to sell and generate interest.  The positive feedback you get from even one small class can send even more clients to you.

If on the other hand your one-on-one practice is booming and you can’t even imagine where to find time for more clients, online courses may be your answer.  Like many experienced practitioners, you have spent considerable time and resources training, observing, and expanding your knowledge base with each client, so that now you overflow with lots of great information.  If that sounds like you, it may be time to leverage all your experience and expertise into creating courses and programs and in turn, see new returns on your investment.  Profit equals freedom to serve in the way you would like to serve.

Connecting with a worldwide audience is a powerful thing.  Your courses can deliver tangible results and knowledge to people everywhere, across continents, to the very places where your information is needed and eliminating the need for travel.  There are thousands upon thousands of people interested in your course.  Let us help them to find you.
  • Offering an online course is THE fastest way to grow your community and client base.
  • Gives potential clients a “sample” or preview. (And for existing clients can be a tool to accelerate their process, or introduce them to your other services.)
  • Enables you to confidently attract your ideal client.
  • You get to share what you know and be paid at the same time.
  • A "mini-course" is excellent for gathering testimony and feedback.
  • Anyone can teach. It is not necessary to be an "expert" or a "guru" to teach what you know to someone who wants to learn. Most online teachers are professionals who enjoy talking about things they love.
  • Teaching online is a proven way to earn passive income…. you can even create a live course curriculum once, record it and then we deliver it on a schedule. No travel = far, far less logistics than being there in person.
  • For professional trainers and instructors: by delivering part of your training online you can minimize the time that your students need to spend with you in person, reducing your overhead costs and opening up space in your life for other things that you love to do.

Course content

Successful online classes are created with a result in mind, not content.  That is, when creating content, reverse engineer:  work backwards from the result that you want the students to take away.  Focus on the solution you offer, not what you want to teach.

Your course or class or workshop or program can be as simple or as complex as you wish.  When it comes to complex programs, consumers appreciate an opportunity to have a small taste before committing to a full program, so offering a free or low cost stand-alone mini-course is an excellent way to build up interest and ultimately fill your larger class.  Quality content is vital in a free class.  If you include content in your free class that is better than everyone else's paid classes, your enrollments in the paid courses will be out the door and down the street.

All the various ways the internet shares information can be adapted to your preference: pre-recorded audio or video, handouts, e-books, webcasts or live workshops, power point presentations, PDF, moderated internet chat groups, private Facebook groups, video conference chat rooms, Skype, Zoom, webinars, teleconferences, interviews, case studies, tools lists, worksheet/cheat sheets – however you conceive it, we can help make it possible. Tests and quizzes can be added to the course as well, to help your students gauge their progress. 

Some instructors offer various tiered packages or versions, for example:
  • A basic version that rapidly resolves a single issue, plus
  • An optional enriched version with more tools and applications, plus
  • A deluxe version that includes a private one-on-one consultation or session with the instructor
Do you enjoy co-creating with others?  More than one instructor can lead the class, too. 
Content is proprietary. You retain ownership of the course content.
