Sundog Education recently celebrated two huge milestones – over 200,000 students have enrolled in our courses worldwide, bringing in over one million dollars in revenue. Never in our wildest dreams did we envision that kind of impact when we started in 2015.

To give back to the community, we’ve created a 4-hour course encapsulating everything we learned along the way on how to create successful online courses. We know this course won’t sell as well as our technology courses, but we want others to have the same opportunity we did to change the world in a measurable way.
