Terminology and Conditions
Account Owner

Organization or Instructor Profile for Course Center:
Organizations or Instructors must complete an administrative profile and a matching profile.
An administrative profile requires a FEIN, EIN, OPE ID, IPEDS ID or SSN to complete registration. We need to ensure that you are a legally registered business and/or individual that can and will comply with local laws and regulations. You will also be asked to submit a payment method or provide a deposit account for pepelwerk to charge and/or for pepelwerk to deposit earned fees.
A matching profile is a view of the teacher/instructor or organization that you want to be viewed by potential students when they match with your learning opportunity.
Course Matching
Course Matching is the result of matching your course requirements to interested people that are registered users of the pepelwerk people app and actively participate in activities. pepelwerk does NOT control which courses are viewed, selected, enrolled in, or registered in. The registered people app user, at their own discretion, chooses which courses to engage with.
Course Profiles
Course profiles are used by the organization or instructor to describe when, where, what skills learned, how much the course is and the acceptable payment methods. The Course Profile is what the registered user will view to determine interest, enrollment, registration and to confirm completion.
