Turning advocacy into a measurable channel

Your best learners already recommend your courses in Slack groups, on LinkedIn and in conversations you never see. An affiliate programme makes those referrals visible, attributable and rewardable, which turns informal word of mouth into predictable academy growth.

Acadle lets you launch branded affiliate campaigns per partner, region or course, then track signups, enrolments and payouts in a unified dashboard. Every affiliate gets their own link and reward terms, and you keep full control of pricing and revenue.

Combined with segmentation and certification data, you can also recruit the right affiliates: certified learners and active community contributors convert far better than a generic open programme.

Word of mouth, made measurable

Your learners already recommend your courses. Affiliate campaigns turn that into an attributable, rewardable growth channel.
