Teach what you know.
To people who trust you. Keep what you earn.

Udemy takes 50–75% of every course sale. Teachable charges monthly fees. You compete against thousands of courses on platforms that have no idea who you are. ETC gives you a community of vouched, real men and women who can see your trust level, your trade history, and the testimonials of men and women who actually know you. That is a foundation built for generations of genuine learning — not an algorithm built for clicks.

Why teaching platforms work against you

Your expertise is worth more
than the platform keeps.

Every major teaching platform was built to aggregate expertise and take a cut. ETC was built to connect trusted teachers with trusted students — and step out of the way.

💸

Udemy and Teachable take most of what your students pay

What's happening right nowUdemy keeps 50–75% of course sales when a student finds you through their platform. Teachable charges monthly fees and takes a percentage on top. You spend as much time on platform economics as on teaching.
On ETC0% platform fees on Unity Pounds course sales. What this community generates, this community keeps. The value your students pay for your expertise goes to you — not to a platform that played no role in creating it.
🤖

An algorithm decides whether students find you

What's happening right nowYour course competes against thousands of similar ones. The algorithm decides whether you appear in search results. You optimise titles for discoverability rather than for educational quality.
On ETCStudents find you through your trust level, community reputation, and personal recommendation. A yoga teacher vouched by eight community members who know her work is discoverable in a way no algorithm can manufacture.
👤

You have no idea who your students actually are — or whether they are real

What's happening right nowYour Teachable dashboard shows email addresses and completion rates. Your students are anonymous to you — you have no way to know if they are genuine learners or casual browsers who bought on a discount.
On ETCEvery student is a vouched community member. You know their trust level, their community history, and the men and women who vouch for them. Teaching becomes a real relationship.
🏆

Your certificates mean nothing outside your platform

What's happening right nowYou issue certificates through your teaching platform. If the platform shuts down, the certificates cannot be verified. They are tied to a commercial platform, not to your professional reputation.
On ETCCertificates are cryptographically signed by you and by ETC. Anyone can verify their authenticity without an ETC account. They are tied to your professional identity — not to any platform's continued existence.
How tutors and trainers use ETC

Build your practice
on community trust.

From your first shared course to a full professional practice — ETC supports every stage of teaching within a community that knows and trusts you.

1

Join through a personal introduction

You join because a teacher, a student, or a community member you trust introduced you. Your access to courses comes with context — you know who created them and the community knows them.

2

Browse courses from trusted instructors

Find courses from community members whose trust level, trade history, and vouches you can see. You are not choosing between anonymously reviewed products — you are choosing between real men and women you can verify.

3

Enrol and learn at your pace

Structured courses with lessons, quizzes, assignments, and downloadable resources. Progress tracked. Community discussion within each course. Ask questions of an instructor you can actually reach.

4

Earn a cryptographically signed certificate

Completion certificates signed by the instructor and by ETC. Verifiable by anyone, anywhere, without an ETC account. Stored in your encrypted Vault.

5

Exchange skills through time-banking

Offer what you know in exchange for what you need. One hour of language teaching exchanged for one hour of coding help. The education module integrates with time-banking.

6

Build your skills portfolio

Every course completed, every certificate earned, every skill exchange logged — in your community profile. Your learning history is yours and portable.

A trainer who built a community practice

James's rights courses.
0% fees. Students who know him.

James had been running rights awareness workshops through Eventbrite and informal groups. Every booking was with a stranger. Every payment went through a platform that took a cut and kept the relationship.

He moved his teaching to ETC. His first course enrolled 18 community members — every one of whom he could see had been personally vouched. The course fee was 25 UP per student. He spent those UP on legal research services from another community member.

Six months later, he had three courses running simultaneously. His Trusted trust level — earned through eight community vouches — meant his courses appeared prominently to new community members. No advertising. No algorithm. Just a reputation built through real community relationships.

I teach a rights awareness course for 25 UP per student. I spend those UP on other services in the community. The money never leaves. That is what a real local economy looks like.

ETC is a Private Members Association — a community of real, vouched men and women organising together. The platform is the tool we use to do that. Your founding membership funds both: the community and the software that serves it. No outside investors. No advertisers. No data sold.

We'll be in touch when ETC opens in your area.
If you know someone who'd benefit — tell them.
Your vouch is the most valuable thing you can give them.

⚠ Use your real name. This is the name your community will know you by — once you join, your name and email are permanent identifiers and cannot be changed. False or fake names are grounds for removal from the Private Members Association.
Please do not skip this field if someone introduced you.Without a referral code: you will not benefit from the first month free offer, the man or woman who told you about ETC will not receive their £4 referral reward, and you will join at probationary trust level rather than as an introduced member. If you have lost your code, contact the man or woman who referred you or email hello@etcapp.net before submitting.
