Unlock course access
You can gain access to courses in different ways:
Unlock with a Cloud plan
Any paid Cloud plan will grant access to all courses:
- Individual plan: When you sign up for a paid individual Cloud plan (Maker), you can access all courses when viewing your Private space.
- School Plan: When a shared space is upgraded with a School plan, all members of that space can access all courses when viewing that space.
To learn how to switch between spaces and view courses, see View a course.
Unlock with registration code
Important
To share access to the kit, it needs to be added to a shared space.
If you need to transfer after it’s been added to a space, please contact us.
Some kits include a registration code. Registering the kit unlocks permanent access to the course for that kit, and does not require an active Cloud plan.
When registering the kit, you can choose where to add the kit:
- Inside your Private space
- Add it to a shared space (School space)
To learn more about kit registration, see Register an Arduino Education Kit.
Free courses
Some courses may be available for free and are available by default in all course-enabled spaces.

Join a shared space
Depending on how you were invited, you can join a shared space in different ways:
-
Email invitation: find the invitation email in your inbox and click JOIN NOW.
-
Shared link: If you received a direct link, click on it or enter it into your browser.
-
Shared code (for minor students): minor students can use a code to join shared spaces. If a minor student does not belong to any Educational space, an orange banner will be shown in the sidebar when the student opens Arduino Cloud. Clicking on it will open a text box that allows the student to join the space by entering the code.
Share a registered course with a space
When activating a kit using a registration code, you can share it with others by adding it to a School space (shared space for education).
Warning
To share a course with others, and for features like Teacher’s Notes to work correctly, you must add the kit to a shared space.
-
Go to app.arduino.cc
-
Select the shared space in the top-left dropdown menu.
-
In the leftmost sidebar, click on the Courses tab.

Click on the REGISTER YOUR KIT button in the top-right corner.
