Layered security for your course.
Your course is your intellectual property. Protection is on by default, and you choose how strict it is.
View-only slides
PDFs are embedded and rendered as part of the page, so students cannot reach the original files unless you choose to allow downloads.
- Always on
Video protection
A protection layer keeps students from downloading and redistributing your videos when they are embedded on the page.
PDF security
Three levels: none, standard and full. Standard security puts a watermark on every page, with your site address and the buyer’s email, IP address and timestamp. Full security also stamps it across every page, so even a cropped screenshot shows where it came from.
XLSX security
On standard or full security, a read-only audit sheet with the buyer’s email, IP address and timestamp, in a file locked with encryption so the sheet cannot be removed.
Keep it on sale, or close it on a date.
A course can stay on sale for good. Or close sales on a date, so everyone who joined goes through it together, lesson by lesson.
- Close sales on a datePick the day the course stops selling. Everyone who bought before then keeps their access.
- Schedule each lessonPublish a lesson now, or set the date it goes live, so the course unfolds week by week.
- Sold your wayCharge once, by subscription, or keep it for a tier.
- Certificates at the finish lineStudents who pass the final quiz get a certificate, verified by QR code, on Pro.
Put your course inside your students’ AI.
Students already work with an AI assistant. Connect it to your course, and it stops guessing: it searches your lessons and applies what you taught to their own problem. Include that access with the course, or keep it for a higher tier.
How MCP works- Your student’s AIClaude, ChatGPT or any other MCP client.
- Your course MCPMakes your lessons available as tools, with their transcripts on Pro.
- Your courseThe full context of what you taught, not what an AI remembers from the internet.

Questions about courses.
Still curious? Talk to us
What can I build with the Sherpo course builder?
Video courses made of lessons, grouped into chapters if you want, with descriptions, embedded slides, quizzes and certificates. Video is hosted for you, and on Pro AI drafts a lesson’s subtitles, summary and video chapters when you ask.
How is a course organized?
A course is a list of lessons. You can group them into chapters, or leave them as lessons on their own. Every lesson has its own title and description, and can carry a video and slides. Progress is tracked the way you set it: when a student finishes the video or the slides, when they mark a lesson as done themselves, or not at all.
Does the video player match my brand?
Yes. The player takes your brand colors automatically, so it matches your site on every lesson with nothing to set up. It also supports subtitles, picture-in-picture and playback speed from 0.5× to 2×.
Does Sherpo create subtitles, summaries and chapters?
Yes, on Pro. Sherpo drafts AI subtitles, summaries and video chapters when you ask, for up to 600 minutes of video per store a month, and you publish them once you have checked them.
Can I add slides to a lesson?
Yes. Students flip through your PDFs inside the lesson. By default, the slides are view-only, so students cannot reach the original files. You can also turn downloads on if you want them to keep a copy.
Can students download my videos?
No. Video protection is always on. It keeps students from downloading and redistributing the videos embedded on the page.
Can some lessons be free?
Yes. You can make any lesson free for anyone, including visitors who have not logged in. Use free lessons to let people sample the course, or just to keep a few free videos on your site.
Can I add quizzes and certificates?
Yes, on Pro. Quizzes check what students learned. Each certificate carries a QR code that opens a verification page with the student, the course, the score and the date.
Can students use my course in their AI?
Yes. Every course is available through MCP, so your students’ AI assistants can search the lessons and answer from them. The course links to your site’s /mcp/help page, with the steps to connect, and access follows what each student paid for.
Is video hosting included?
Yes. Lite includes 10 GB of storage and Pro includes 100 GB, and video is delivered with no bandwidth fees. Pro also includes 600 AI video minutes a month per store.
Can I sell a course for a limited time?
Yes. Close sales on a date, and everyone who bought before then goes through the course together. You can also schedule each lesson for a date.
Which plan do I need to sell courses?
You can sell courses on Lite, at $19 a month. Quizzes, certificates and your own domain come with Pro, at $49 a month.
