Teaching a Class!

The Quick Facts About Teaching at CFU

See all of the classes currently offered at Colorado Free University. We have close to 200 generous and motivated folks who find teaching a class both personally gratifying and professionally useful.

Teaching a class at CFU can be a great next step for you! Most of our classes are proposed by teachers who have an area, expertise or a passion that they want to share.  We’re always on the look out for good teachers and welcome your ideas.

We have created a “teachers wanted” list with topics that we think might be of interest to the community.  These are classes we’re not currently offering, so please take a look to see if there is a topic on it that you can teach.

If you are interested in teaching one of the classes below, or have another idea for a fun, enriching class, please feel welcome to email our CFU President, helen@compuskills.com. You may also submit a course proposal online–please visit our course proposal guidelines page for more information.

The deadline for submission to teach a class for our summer/early fall 2022 is April 29th, 2022. Submit your proposal early for first consideration.

If you’ve submitted a proposal and not received acknowledgement, please check your Spam folder or follow up with a call. We try to respond to all proposals within 3 business days.  Emails do sometimes get lost, so feel free to check in with us if you haven’t gotten a response.

However, you can submit a proposal at any time to be considered for the next review/hiring period.
