Your Learner Profile is what instructors see when they join their academy and what other students see in the community. A complete profile builds trust and helps you network.
Step 1: Accessing Profile Settings #
- Log in to your dashboard.
- Look for your Profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar.
- Click the icon or select Profile & Settings from the pop-up menu.
Step 2: Customizing Your Identity #
- Profile Photo: Upload a clear, professional headshot.
- Why? Students with photos get 3x more replies in Community discussions.
- Display Name: Use your real name (e.g., “Chioma Adebayo”) so your certificates are issued correctly.
- Bio: Write a short introduction with your title and bio.
- Example: “Product Designer based in Lagos. Learning to build accessible web apps.”

You can choose to answer extra demographic questions to help measure our impact and build a more inclusive platform.
