Independent contractor assignments generally begin at $50+ per completed instructional hour , with rates varying by location, program requirements, and instructor experience.

Most programs meet for approximately 1–4 hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Some instructors choose to teach multiple programs per week depending on their availability and available assignments.

Applying, interviewing, or completing a contractor profile does not guarantee selection, placement, a minimum number of instructional hours, future assignments, or continued engagement.
