1. Apply on the NSDP website

  1. Step 1: Open the teacher application on nsdp.pk

    Fill in your details, areas of expertise, experience and qualifications, and attach your documents (CNIC, degrees, experience letters, CV) and a photograph.

  2. Step 2: Keep your reference

    You get a reference like TUT-XXXX-XXXX. You need it, with your email and CNIC, to update the application later.

What happens to your application

  • RejectedYou are emailed the reason when NSDP gave one. You may apply again.

2. Password, agreement and verification

  • Set your password from the approval email. The link works once and for 7 days; ask NSDP for a new one if it expires. Then sign in at the teacher sign-in page.
  • Accept the NSDP Instructor Agreement. Until you do, every menu row except Agreement and Help centre is locked.
  • Verify your identity on the Verification page: CNIC, a selfie and your bank account. NSDP checks it by hand. You can already build and send courses meanwhile, but NSDP approves them, and withdrawals open, only once you are verified.

3. Your teacher profile

Your profile is your public teacher page on the NSDP website: name, photo, headline, bio, expertise and qualifications. Each field says whether it is Shown on your public teacher page or Only NSDP staff see this. A complete profile with a clear photo helps students choose your courses.

4. Connect Zoom (for live classes)

Live Zoom classes run on your own Zoom account. Connect it once from the Your Zoom account card on your live class; the portal then creates each class's meeting, takes attendance automatically and keeps the recordings. Recorded courses and on-campus classes do not need Zoom.

5. The Trainer Hub

The Trainer Hub in your menu has free, self-paced courses on working with NSDP: building courses, live and on-campus classes, attendance, class work, certificates and payouts. Some may be required with a due date. Finishing a course (every lesson done and the final quiz passed, 70% unless NSDP set another mark) earns a Trainer Hub certificate and NSDP Certified Trainer on your public profile.

6. Your first course

  1. Step 1: Choose what to teach

    A recorded course (videos and lessons students take at their own pace), a live Zoom class (batches with a timetable) or an on-campus class at a partner campus.

  2. Step 2: Build it

    Add the curriculum, pricing and details in the course editor or the live class workspace.

  3. Step 3: Send it for review

    NSDP checks every course and class before students see it, and may send it back with notes. Once approved it is published on the NSDP website.
