A searchable public profile, topic visibility, your own rate, private enquiries, and availability tools.
BECOME A NORTHSTAR COACH
Make your expertise findable when someone genuinely needs it.
NorthstarLabs gives coaches a public, topic-led profile inside a wider learning platform. Learners can discover your expertise after a course, through search, or when they describe a specific roadblock.

THE DECISION BEHIND THE SEARCH
A credible coaching profile needs more than a portrait and a motivational sentence.
Learners need enough detail to decide whether you fit their problem. NorthstarLabs helps you publish specific topics, evidence, rates, session modes, availability, and boundaries—then keeps paid placement visibly separate from trust.
Verified exposure — R200/month
Optional priority in relevant searches after identity and credentials have passed independent review.
Verification is earned
Payment never buys approval, a credential badge, positive reviews, or a higher trust score.

CLEAR ANSWERS
What people ask before taking the next step.
Can I choose my own hourly rate?+
Yes. You control the rate, availability, session mode, and the topics attached to your profile.
Does it cost to list as a coach?+
No. Every coach can create a standard profile, appear in relevant searches, set an hourly rate, and receive enquiries for free. Independently approved coaches may optionally activate Northstar Verified exposure for R200 per month; payment never buys verification.
Can I buy a verified badge?+
No. Credential verification is reviewed separately from advertising and cannot be purchased through a higher listing tier.
Can I pause my profile?+
Yes. You can keep a profile as a private draft, publish it when ready, and pause it when your availability changes.
