Welcome to the 2025 Instructor Pay Survey.

In 2023, we published a paper on Instructor Pay, aiming to provide a benchmark and understanding of compensation within our sector.
Two years later, we are conducting this survey to hear directly from you – our valued instructors – about your experiences with pay and how it impacts your role.

Your unique perspective is incredibly important. By sharing your insights, you'll help us understand the current realities of instructor compensation, identify key trends, and assess the impact of existing pay structures on your professional life.
This information will be instrumental in advocating for fair compensation and in developing resources that support the vital work you do.

The survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Your responses will be kept strictly confidential and will only be used in an aggregated, anonymised format for reporting purposes.

Thank you for your valuable contribution.
