At the Hard Skill Exchange, we want to facilitate coaches’ and students’ connections and growth in the digital world. We’re committed to making our platform accessible and affordable for everyone. 

However, while we don’t charge users fees, we do take a small commission from coaching fees to pay for the management, development, and maintenance of this platform. 

Commissions are what power the HSE platform. Here’s everything you need to know about our commission model.


What commission does HSE charge?

Signing up for an account on HSE is free for both coaches and clients. We don’t charge any monthly fees for access to our services, and coaches are free to set their own prices for their sessions, ensuring they can earn consistent revenue.

Our commission fee only applies when a coach accepts a booking from a client. When a client pays for a session with you, we take a flat 30% commission from that transaction. We recommend keeping this in mind when you set your prices for sessions.


Where does the commission go?

We invest every penny from these commission fees in the development and operation of the Hard Skill Exchange. The fees pay for Research and Development (R&D), certification standards, and the platform’s development.

A significant portion of all commission fees is dedicated to growing HSE, with platform optimization, technical improvements, and strategies intended to create a world-leading online study space for our users. 

We also use some of the fees we collect to pay for marketing and advertising, which also benefits our coaches by ensuring they can attract as many new clients as possible.

Your commission fees may also pay partially for developing resources, such as training and webinars.
