BrightLine Affiliate Program
Help learners discover practical, career-relevant BrightLine training and earn commission on qualifying program enrollments. The BrightLine Affiliate Program is designed for individuals and organizations that share professional education responsibly.
How it works
Join
Create an affiliate account, provide the required information, and accept the Affiliate Terms. Registration is open and activation is ordinarily automatic; participation remains subject to the Terms.
Choose
Select eligible BrightLine training programs that are relevant to your audience and use your unique referral link.
Share
Share accurate program information using approved BrightLine descriptions, links, resources, and clear affiliate disclosure.
Earn
When an eligible referral completes a qualifying purchase, the related commission is recorded in your Affiliate Center.
20% commission on qualifying enrollments
BrightLine affiliates receive a standard 20% commission on qualifying eligible net program purchases. Eligible net purchase generally means the amount actually paid for an eligible program, excluding taxes, shipping where applicable, refunds, reversals, chargebacks, fraudulent transactions, and other non-commissionable amounts.
A qualifying commission initially appears as Pending. It is reviewed during a 14-day validation period. A valid commission may then become eligible for payout.
30-day referral attribution
A valid affiliate referral is ordinarily tracked for 30 days. If a learner uses more than one valid affiliate referral before purchase, the last valid affiliate referral ordinarily receives attribution.
Eligible purchases by existing BrightLine customers may qualify. More than one eligible purchase made during an active attribution period may also qualify under the Affiliate Terms.
Payout administration
Eligible balances of at least $25 USD are ordinarily processed twice monthly, on or around the 1st and 15th. Balances below $25 carry forward to a later payout cycle. Payment processing time can depend on the payout provider and required verification.
Refunds, partial refunds, cancellations, disputes, payment reversals, and chargebacks may reduce, reverse, or otherwise affect a related commission. BrightLine does not make income guarantees.
Who can join
Registration is open to eligible individuals and organizations. A website is not required, and a large social following is not required. BrightLine does not use routine manual pre-approval; activation is ordinarily automatic after registration. Participation remains subject to the Affiliate Terms, applicable law, payment-provider availability, and BrightLine’s right to address misuse or policy violations.
Affiliate resources
Affiliates may receive approved program information, referral links, program descriptions, BrightLine brand assets, promotional graphics or banners as available, disclosure guidance, and other approved promotional resources. Visit the Affiliate Resource Center for current materials and the Affiliate Brand & Marketing Standards for responsible-promotion guidance.
Responsible promotion
Affiliates must represent BrightLine and its programs accurately and professionally. Do not guarantee employment, income, salary, licensing, accreditation, placement, or outcomes. Do not use false endorsements, unauthorized discounts, artificial scarcity, or misleading claims. Full requirements are set out in the Affiliate Brand & Marketing Standards and Affiliate Terms.
