NSDP training courses for affiliates

The video courses NSDP sets for affiliate partners: where to find them, how the classroom works, the final quiz (pass mark usually 70%) and becoming an NSDP Certified Affiliate.

NSDP publishes short video courses for its affiliate partners on how everything works: courses and fees, referral links, payouts and the rules. They are free and only partners see them. Finish a course and pass its final quiz to become an NSDP Certified Affiliate.

The classroom

  1. Step 1: Open the course

    On Training, press Start (or Continue). The course opens full screen, in the same classroom students use.

  2. Step 2: Use the lesson list

    The list on the left shows every section and lesson with a tick for each one you have finished, and your overall progress. On a phone, press Lessons to open it.

  3. Step 3: Watch the videos

    Your place is saved automatically. Watching 80% of a video finishes it; you can also press Mark complete. Use Previous and Next to move between lessons.

  4. Step 4: Download the files

    When a lesson has files (checklists, posters, scripts), they are listed under Files for this lesson.

  5. Step 5: Take the final quiz

    The final quiz opens once every other lesson is done. Reach the pass mark to finish the course. If you miss it, read the answers, go back to the lessons and try again; your best result counts.

Your certificate and badge

  • When the course is complete your certificate is issued straight away and emailed to you. Open it from Training (the Certificate button) or from the classroom.
  • Each certificate has its own number. Anyone can check it on the public verification page, which shows NSDP Certified Affiliate.
  • Your dashboard then shows a small Certified card instead of the training reminder.
  • If you have a public My Page, the NSDP website can show a small NSDP Certified Affiliate badge on it.

Quick guides

Below the courses, Quick guides are the short read-through notes on promoting, with Mark as done for each and the partner quiz. They are separate from the NSDP training courses and still give the Certified NSDP Affiliate Partner certificate.

I don't see any NSDP training courses.

NSDP has not published one for affiliates yet. The section appears on Training as soon as it does.

I watched a video but it is not ticked.

A video counts at 80% watched. If you skipped ahead, press Mark complete under the video.

The final quiz says to finish every other lesson first.

Open the lesson list and look for lessons without a tick. Finish them, then come back to the final quiz.

Does training change my commission?

No. Training is free and does not affect your earnings, your code or your referrals.
