Introduce your communications or marketing professor to the benefits of Acadium, and get them to promote Acadium to students as a way to get hands-on experience.

FAQs

  • What counts as a referral?

    Anyone that signs up and is accepted to start an apprenticeship on Acadium counts as a referral. If they do not complete the signup process or their application gets denied, we do not count it as a referral.

  • I want to create content around Acadium but don’t have any good ideas.

    Read this blog post for many great ideas you can use.

  • Is there any way I can get access to Acadium’s brand assets to use in my content?

    Yes once you sign up for our affiliate platform, you will have access to all of Acadium’s brand assets.

  • I am currently in an apprenticeship, can I also become an affiliate?

    Yes! We would love for you to share your apprenticeship experience with your network.

  • How do I track my referral data on the Affiliate dashboard?

    Here's how data works on your affiliate dashboard:

    A referral is an overall number of people who signed up from your link, including people who signed up and left the site, which means that they signed up but did not complete their profile or the questions & fields of their profile. Such profile fields include location, picture, looking for experience in, industries, etc. Thus, referrals will also appear as 'Signups' under your 'Details' tab.

    Now, what counts as a 'Customer'? A Customer has two categories:

    1. 'Accepted' candidates: All those candidates whose profile is complete and who meet the eligibility criteria. Upon profile completion, they are manually vetted and accepted by us. Payment will be made for such candidates. and,
    2. 'Denied' candidates: All those candidates whose profile is complete but who were denied by us upon vetting. No payment is made for such candidates.

    It is important to note that anyone who completes their profile will automatically appear in the 'Customer' category. However, a payment is generated only for the 'Accepted' customers, not for 'denied' customers.

    Consider the following metrics to understand how much money you made:

    1. 'Earnings' field under the 'Details' tab and/or
    2. 'Rewards' tab.

  • Who do I get paid for?

    As explained above, you get paid for accepted candidates only.

  • Who do I not get paid for?

    You do not get paid for referrals or signups and denied customers.

  • When do I get paid?

    We payout on the first Monday of each month directly through Paypal. You can link your Paypal account on your affiliate dashboard.
