Have you always wanted to launch your own course?
We did everything for you.
We have been creating professionals in the art industry for 13 years. There is no need to create a platform or search for an audience — we already have artists studying here who are ready to buy new courses.
Registration is free — pay only% of sales.
No subscriptions or season tickets.
Is the situation familiar?
There are three main reasons why experienced artists postpone launching their own courses.
Not sure where to start
We need an online platform for lessons, a mobile application, a chat, homework, card payment, installments, and copy protection. To do your own thing — hundreds of thousands of rubles and months of work.
Are you afraid that the course won't find students
Advertising, promotion, search engine optimization — without them, even an excellent course remains unnoticeable. A large expense item and a steady job.
Don't want to waste time on paperwork and taxes
Payment acceptance, student agreements, self-employed status, receipts, taxes. A whole separate world that you don't want to enter just to sell your course.
We have already solved all three tasks for you. Then — what exactly.
Our curators and graduates work in the studios
Which courses can be placed
Any format that is convenient for you to work in. Subjects include drawing, illustration, comics, manga and anime, concept art, 2D/3D graphics, digital painting, sketching, character design, tattoo and other areas. If you haven't found your topic, please suggest it and we will consider it individually.
Online with live broadcasts
Direct classes with a group of students directly in your personal account. Schedule, homework, chat with the supervisor.
Asynchronous format
The student learns at his own pace, you check the papers and give feedback. The duration of the course is up to your choice.
Independent format
Ready-made video tutorials without a curator. A student buys a course and takes it on their own — passive income.
Marathon and intensive
A short course with fixed dates and group progress. A strong format for lead generation.
Workshop and master class
One or two lessons on a specific technique. Low price, high conversion rate.
Free tutorial
Free material is for attraction. Ideally as an "entrance" to the paid courses of the author.
What have we already done for you?
A ready-made learning platform
Students' personal accounts, an iOS/Android mobile application, chat with a group, homework check, video broadcasts — everything for conducting a course in any format.
- Students' personal accounts
- iOS/Android Mobile App
- Chat with the group and the curator

Ready-made audience of artists
Students come to learn how to draw, not to "browse". Many have been studying for years and regularly buy new courses.
- Artists of different levels — from beginners to pros
- Warm audience — come to learn how to draw
- Regular purchase — students return for new courses
- The established trust in the Skills Up brand over 13 years

Payment acceptance is on us
Card payment, student payment receipt, refund processing. Contracts and settlements are on the school's side.
- Payment by bank card
- The receipt is sent to the student automatically
- Refund processing according to the rules of the website

Copy protection

- Protected Player
- Linking to an account
- Access control
- Fraud protection
Expert moderation
Over the past 13 years, we have learned to distinguish strong programs from weak ones. Each author and each course is checked by the school — this works to trust your name and maintains the level of the entire catalog.
- Pre-moderation of the author (social networks, portfolio)
- Examination of the school on the quality of the program
- Checking the video and submission of the material
- The high level of the entire catalog is the trust of the students
How it works
The full path from registration to the first sale.
Registration
Fill out the basic questionnaire — full name, email, phone, banking details. Without investments and obligations.
Course preparation
Prepare video tutorials, program, and materials. If you already have a ready—made course, you can use it. Minimum requirements: 720p video or higher, clear sound, clear program.
Uploading a course to your account
Create a course in the author's office, add lessons, materials, and rates. There is no technique — a simple form, as in any construction kit.
Sending for verification
The "Submit for review" button. The school's team reviews the program and the quality. If you have any comments, we will send you feedback, correct them and resend them.
Publishing in the catalog
After approval, the course is added to the catalog. skillsupschool.ru , to the desired category, visible to all visitors. Students can buy.
Generating income
With each sale, your share is credited to the balance in the author's account. It is frozen for 30 days — this is protection in case of refunds. After that, it is available for withdrawal to a bank card upon request.

Taxes and legal
We work with the self-employed and sole proprietors. With all of them — a license agreement, an offer, payments to your banking details.
Self-employed
The easiest way is suitable for most authors.

- You can create a receipt YOURSELF in the My Taxes app within 5 business days after receiving the payment.
- We send you an email reminder after each payment so that you don't forget.
ep
Suitable if you already have an individual entrepreneur.
- You accept the license agreement-offer through the author's account.

Post your courseFrequent questions
There are three formats available now: online with broadcasts, asynchronous (with its own pace and homework check), and independent (only videos without a curator). We will soon add a marathon, a master class and a free tutorial — functionality in development.
720p minimum, clear sound without noise, clear picture. Ideally— an external microphone. Camera shake and harsh noises are a reason to ask for redoing. There are no exotic requirements, the main thing is the student's comfort.
Yes, it can be rescheduled. Condition: For the duration of placement in Skills Up, the same course should not be sold on other online course marketplaces or your website directly to students - this is exclusivity. You can use your methodological practices in individual consultations, lectures, and master classes. Fundamentally new courses (with a different program) on other platforms are also possible.
Usually 2-3 business days. If you have any comments, we send them for revision with a specific feedback, re—checking is faster.
We write down exactly what needs to be fixed (program, video quality, legal issues regarding the content). If you fix it, you send it again, with no limit on the number of attempts. There are no paid fines for refusal.
After each purchase, your share is credited to the balance in the author's account. It is frozen for 30 days (this is protection in case of refunds). After 30 days, it is available for withdrawal upon request. The school processes the application and transfers the money to your banking details within 5 business days. The minimum withdrawal amount is 10,000 ₽.
The self-employed generates a receipt in the My Taxes application within 5 business days after receiving the payment. The school does not send data to the tax service for you. So that you don't forget, we send email reminders after each payment.
Yes, without restrictions. Each course is tested separately. All sales, analytics, and payments are in the author's single account.
Yes. You can change prices and tariffs in the author's office at any time. Those who have already bought retain access at the price at which they bought.
The refund is processed by the school according to the rules of the public offer with students. If the refund was completed before the end of the 30-day hold, your share of this sale will be canceled automatically. If the refund was made after the hold, but before the actual payment, the amount is deducted from your available balance. If the money has already been paid, the school deducts the amount from subsequent sales.
The video is played through a secure player linked to the student's account — you cannot download it using standard methods. Access control (open/close the student's material) is in your office. Neither we nor major international platforms have protection from recording on a phone camera — this is a physical channel.
The copyright to the content remains with you. Skills Up receives a non-exclusive license to place and sell the course through its catalog under an offer license agreement. If you decide to leave, the rights remain with you, there will be no new sales, but students who have already bought retain access until the end of the paid period.
Yes, at any moment. There is a "Withdraw from sale" button through the account. Students who have already bought the course retain access (this is the school's legal obligation to them), but there will be no new sales. You receive your frozen payments according to the schedule.
30% of the regular sale (70% for you). If the student came using your referral link, the commission is 20% (80% for you). This fee includes the platform, payment acceptance, legal registration, student support, catalog placement, and copy protection. Additional promotion (home page, email newsletters, social networks) - for a fee at a negotiated price.
Reply to chat messages of the course no later than 24 hours from the moment of receipt. Check and give detailed feedback on homework no later than 5 business days. If the course includes live broadcasts, they should be conducted strictly on schedule (postponement — no more than 1 time per module with 24 hours' notice to students). In case of vacation or illness, notify the school in advance.
Yes, 5,000 ₽ is the lower limit, so as not to undermine the pricing of school courses. The maximum is unlimited. You can change the price at any time through the office, coordination with the school is not required.
