# Faculty

> Introduce your trainers on your website and courses.

Many students choose a course because of who teaches it. Under **Settings → Faculty** you introduce the people who teach at your academy. Each person can appear on your landing page and on the page of every course they teach.

A faculty profile is public information you type for your website. It is not an account: nobody signs in with it, and no one's email or phone number is shown.

## Open Faculty

1. In the left menu, click **Settings**.
2. In the settings menu, under **Website**, click **Faculty**.

## Add a person

1. Click **Add a person**.
2. To add a photo, click **Add a photo** and choose a PNG or JPG, up to 2 MB. A square portrait works best. Without a photo, the person's initials are shown.
3. Fill in their details. Only **Name** is required.
   - **Role**: for example "Founder & Python trainer".
   - **Experience**: in your own words, for example "12 years teaching programming".
   - **About them**: a few sentences, up to 600 characters.
   - **LinkedIn**, **YouTube**, **Instagram** and **Website**: links to their profiles. Each must be a link to that site.
4. Click **Save**. You'll see "[name] added".

You can list up to 24 people.

## Change the order

Use the up and down arrows next to a person. Your landing page and the course form's instructor list follow this order.

## Edit or remove someone

- To edit, click the pencil, change the details and click **Save**.
- To remove, click the bin, then **Remove**. Click **Keep** if you change your mind. Courses they taught keep running and no longer name an instructor.

## Show your faculty on your website

- **On your landing page:** add a **Faculty** block under **Settings → Landing page**, then publish. It shows everyone, in the order set here. See [Your landing page](https://paatya.net/docs/academy/landing-page).
- **On a course's page:** open the course, and under **Public website** choose the **Instructor**. The course's public page then shows a **Your instructor** card. See [Create a course](https://paatya.net/docs/courses/create-a-course#public-website).

Changes to a profile show everywhere at once. You don't need to publish your landing page again.

## If something goes wrong

- **"This should be a link to linkedin.com".** A profile link points somewhere else. Paste the link from that site, for example `linkedin.com/in/yourname`.
- **"An academy can list at most 24 people".** Remove someone before adding another.
- **The Faculty block isn't on my page.** Check the block is on your landing page, isn't hidden, and that you published after adding it.
