You will be asked to submit a form with details about your level of SAS skills, certifications and teaching experience. And share a 10 minutes video where you demonstrate to the audience how to teach something that they have learnt to do afterwards. They’ll assess your readiness, complete some due diligence and determine if it’s a good fit.
