Restricted Topics

Make learning and teaching more effective with active participation and student collaboration

These Restricted Topics were last updated December 6, 2023.

FlukeCal-Training does not approve content in some topic areas, or may publish only in limited circumstances. Subject matter may be excluded due to concerns that it is considered either inappropriate, harmful, or offensive to learners, or because it is otherwise inconsistent with the values and spirit of FlukeCal-Training.

While instructors have production and editorial independence over their courses, it is also their responsibility to ensure their courses follow the letter and the spirit of our policy, including our content quality values and standards, when submitting to the Quality Review Process.

We recommend that you reach out to the Trust & Safety team before building content relating to any of the metrology topics. Please include as much detail as possible.

It is the instructor’s responsibility to ensure their course follows the letter and the spirit of the policy when submitting to the Quality Review Process. While the Trust & Safety Team will guide instructors around smaller fixes, extensive coaching on how to build or update a course is not available.

Please bear in mind that while a course might be permissible in the FlukeCal-Training marketplace, business customers might be more sensitive to certain topics & presentations. If you wish for your course to be eligible for admission to FlukeCal-Training Business, please ensure that all content and presentation is appropriate for a professional audience.

Restricted topics

  • Sexuality

  • Nudity and attire

  • Dating and relationships

  • Weapons instruction

  • Violence and bodily harm

  • Illegal or unethical activities

  • Misinformation and misleading content

  • Sensitive or otherwise inappropriate topics or language

As a global learning platform with learners ranging from casual hobbyists to professional enterprise customers, we must take into consideration many sensitivities when evaluating content.

We will examine not only the kind of topic under discussion, but also how those topics are presented. When providing instruction on a sensitive subject area, ensure that all associated course materials treat that subject with care. Avoid language and imagery which is inflammatory, offensive or otherwise insensitive.

  • Content for young people

FlukeCal-Training is not currently set up to support underage learners. Persons under the age of consent (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland) may not use the services. Those under 18 but above the age of consent may use the services only if a parent or guardian opens their account, handles any enrollments, and manages their account usage.

As such, please ensure any subject matter oriented towards young students is clearly marketed to parents and guardians who will be supervising their learning. See Section 1 of FlukeCal-Training’s Terms of Use to learn more.
