The Multi Instructor add-on allows more than one instructor to take a course. To use this feature, enable the Multi Instructor add-on from WP Admin > Tutor LMS Pro > Add-ons.

Once you do this, open the Course Editor by visiting any Course in edit mode or creating a new one. Here, scroll down and you’ll see a new section called Instructors on the Course Creation Page. Here, simply click on the Add Instructor button to add more instructors.

When you click on the Add Instructor button, a new popup window will appear where you can search for the instructor’s name and a list will be generated. To select one of the options, simply hover over it and click on the plus icon that appears.

Repeat the same steps to add more instructors and click on Save Changes to close the window and Update the course to finish off.

After assigning new Instructors to any course, they will be able to take full control over the course just as the main Instructor.

You can also enable Share Revenue to simplify things further. More information on this topic can be found on our Money Management documentation.

Students will be able to see the multiple instructors that teach a course on the Course’s Details Page.

How To Remove an Instructor?

If you want to remove an instructor from a course in Tutor LMS, you can do so by following these steps:

1. First, access the frontend or backend course builder of that specific course.
2. Scroll down within the course builder until you come across the “Instructors” section.
3. Locate the specific instructor you wish to remove from the course.
4. Hover your mouse over that instructor’s name.
5. There, you will notice an “X” icon next to the instructor’s name. Simply click on that “X” icon and your task is done.

By doing so, you will successfully remove that instructor. It will effectively end their role as an instructor for that particular course.

If you’re using the frontend course builder, the interface will be like this:

Note: By default, you cannot remove the primary instructor of the course. The primary instructor can be identified by the crown icon next to their name.

How to Change the Primary Instructor?

If you want to remove the primary instructor, you have to change the author first. Here are the steps to change the author of a course.

1. First, access the backend course builder of that specific course. Because course authors can’t be changed from the frontend builder.
2. Scroll down within the course builder until you come across the “Author” section.
3. Select the specific instructor you wish to set as the primary author.
4. Update the course.

In the following section, we’ve selected “Instructor 1” as the course author. So, now you can eliminate all other instructors except “Instructor 1”. Besides, the crown icon confirms the role as the primary instructor.
