Coordinate instructor terms, travel, curriculum, promotion, participant operations, payout, and follow-up in one accountable plan.
Lead time
60 days
Best for
Schools with a vetted guest, a written agreement, appropriate insurance, and a realistic participant audience.
Goal
Deliver a distinctive training event while keeping responsibilities, economics, and participant expectations clear.
Decisions the owner must make
- Instructor identity, credentials, references, and insurance
- Topic, audience, prerequisites, and capacity
- Flat fee, travel, deposit, cancellation, and payout terms
- Price, refund policy, media rights, and host responsibilities
Assets this guide tells your team to prepare
- Instructor brief
- Agreement checklist
- Seminar registration copy
- Promotion sequence
- Travel and day-of run of show
- Settlement and follow-up checklist
These are planning deliverables, not a promise that each finished asset is generated. Private-pilot activation creates one linked event plus the same ten generic, placeholder-filled drafts and tasks for every playbook.

- Do not call a marketplace or automated payout workflow live before it is released.
Product boundary
A manual Instructor Exchange concierge request is available in the private pilot with a disclosed proposed commission. It is not an open marketplace, confirmed availability, a contract, a charge, or an instructor payout.
