Your referral code (like NSDP-7KQ4M2) is how NSDP knows someone came through you. Every link, QR code, design and template in the portal already carries it, so you never need to type it yourself.
Four ways someone is counted as yours
Step 1: They open your link
Any NSDP website or course link with
?ref=and your code. The visit is remembered for 30 days, so they can sign up later.Step 2: They scan your QR code
From a poster, flyer, business card or design. It opens your link.
Step 3: They type your code
In the Referral code box when they register. Useful when someone heard about NSDP from you in person.
Step 4: They use your coupon
If NSDP has given you a personal coupon, purchases with it are credited to you.
Who gets the credit
- If someone opened more than one partner's link before signing up, the most recent link before they sign up wins.
- Once someone signs up through you, it is saved on their account and they are linked to you permanently: as a student, every course they buy earns you 10%; as a partner, instructor or campus, you earn 1% of their course sales for 12 months.
- A student who signed up through you stays yours: another partner's link or coupon later on does not move them (a coupon still gives its discount).
- Your own account never counts as your referral.
Channel tracking: which platform works best
Links you share with the portal's share buttons or Copy for chips carry the channel, for example &ch=whatsapp or &ch=facebook. Analytics then shows visits, sign-ups and paid students per channel, so you know where to spend your time.
| Channel | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Personal messages, status, groups and broadcast lists | |
| Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Telegram | Posts, reels, videos, bio links and comments |
| Email, SMS | Teachers, institutes and people without smartphones |
| Poster | QR codes on printed posters, flyers, banners and cards |
| Page | Links from your own partner page |
| Other / Direct | Anything else, or a link copied without a channel |
Someone I sent is not showing
Messages you might see
“They signed up but are not in My students”
WhyThey opened the website directly, more than 30 days after your link, on another phone, or after another partner's link.
FixNext time ask them to sign up straight from your link, or to type your code in the Referral code box. Contact NSDP support with their email if you think it was missed.
“They are in My students but I earned nothing”
WhyThey have not paid yet, the course was free, or the payment is still being confirmed.
FixHelp them choose and pay for a course. Commission appears as soon as a payment is confirmed.
“My commission was cancelled”
WhyThe payment was refunded or reversed.
FixNothing to do; cancelled commission is not paid.
“An instructor or campus is not in Referrals”
WhyThey are still waiting for NSDP approval, or did not use your link or code.
FixThey appear once approved. Ask them to use your link or code when they apply.
Can I sign up through my own link?
No. Self-referral never earns commission.
Can I change my code?
No. Your code stays the same so that every link and poster you have shared keeps working.
Can I link to any page of the NSDP website?
Yes. Add ?ref= and your code to any NSDP page. The ready links in Promote already do this for every course.
