Absolutely not. Hosting a training is mentor's choice. He/she can do it based on his/her time availability. Once your account is published on platform, feel free to plan training accordingly. We help you to host your first a couple of training. Click here to learn how to plan & host training

We shows all the information you added to your profile and training you have hosted except your personal/contact details. We strictly do not share or show user's personal information to anyone.

Consider following steps while planning for training.

• Look back to your professional/personal experience and pick some projects that you would like to choose to train people.
• You may end up having multiple projects with varied size (small, medium, large) and complexity. Let's take one project for simplicity.
• Identify all the technologies, libraries and tools used to develop the projects. Obviously you will prefer technologies you are most experienced in and suited to the project.
• Now to help individuals develop this project, think if they should have the knowledge of programming languages and technologies used in the project. If you want people to subscribe to your training without any knowledge of these technologies, then you would need to help people learn the basics of technologies used. You may need to spend sometime to bring everyone on the same level of understanding so that you can start training on the projects. Consider this time as well in your training to enable individuals build and master basic skills.
• Take into consideration, how much time a learner should take to build the basic skills on the technologies used.
• You may take few hours to complete the project. But how much time a learner should take to complete the project is more important. Projects enable learners to solve problems using their skills and gain practical industrial/domain knowledge.
• Spend time on details and go in depth with your learners.
• To break a project into small-2 tasks is easy. If you ever worked on a task management system e.g. Jira etc. then breaking a project into stories, tasks and subtasks is quite easy.
• In case you would like to add multiple small projects having varied complexity, size and scope under one training, feel free to consider the above tips.
• Generally to solidify the learning, having multiple projects of same size makes sense. In one project you may have to assist a lot, but other projects allow learners to use their learning and practice themselves with less of your assistance.
• Decide what should be the right time to conduct training sessions. For working professionals after working hours or weekends training sessions make more sense.
• Next, decide the frequency of training sessions either daily, alternate days, some specific days of week or weekends etc. Keep the consistency in mind. Too much gap in two consecutive training sessions is not good.
• Frequency decided above would help you to reach you to the end date of your training
• Also, you would be able to understand how much time your training would take to complete.
• You are good to go now.

In case you find it difficult to perform the above exercise by yourself, don’t worry. Our team helps all mentors to plan and host trainings initially. Once you are self sufficient then you can do it by yourself.

Still have some queries? Talk to our team at support@mentorif.com or our call/whatsapp number +919560211549. We will help you plan and schedule your training to get you started.

All training links are accessible publicly (no login required to view the training details). So, use that link to share on your social network, whatsapp etc.

As a mentor you can choose the price of your training. We only suggest a competitive price so that it becomes relevant and encouraging to subscribers. In the end, the decision is yours.

Each mentor and training is different. You can talk to MentorIF team to understand the right price of your training.

Yes, you can. You have two options.

You can host as much training as you want. There is no upper limit.

Absolutely no. You can host training for free. We only take commission when you get subscribers on the training.

In case your training is project based and more practical then it is least required. You can use the online resources such as blogs, videos which you find appropriate to support your training and share them with the subscribers during training.

LMS allows you to share the links and other materials once a training session is completed. In case you would like subscribers to read/view some material before training then you can share it at the end of previous training or directly in the chat with the subscriber.

In LMS you can create tasks and assign them to subscribers. They will perform the tasks and submit it back to you. You can see the task submission and also who has not submitted. Submissions timestamp and delays are highlighted for better understanding. You can share your feedback on the submissions with subscribers and they will resubmit after working on your feedback.

Also, you can tag a task as a project. Completed tasks tagged as projects will be added to subscribers' portfolios.

Once training is marked completed, you can generate completion certificates. LMS allows you to generate certificates for all subscribers in one click or individual subscribers one by one. LMS sends the certificates to subscribers via email. Certificates can also be browsed through url shared with subscribers via email. Completed training and certificate adds to subscribers’ portfolios.

To host live training, you can use Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Team etc. Jitsi Meet is another cloud based free video calling platform. It provides free video recording facility. You can record your video calls which get stored in your dropbox account automatically.

Choose a tool based on your and subscribers mutual convenience.
