Find a Bootcamp looking for "mentors" in your field. Don't be afraid of you are not an "expert". You can learn as you teach the curriculum. Just stay ahead of your students. I learned a ton this way.

I have a friend who did this for AutoCAD about 25 years ago. Taught it at a community college, never having used it before.

In his own words "I just have to stay one week ahead of the class and it all works out."

Lol, that is a smart way to do it. Until one student comes along, who is two weeks ahead of the class and the teacher
"We'll cover that next week."
Hehe. I used to rehearse with a singer who I also taught music theory to. She in turn taught young kids music, usually whatever chord she'd learnt from me in the previous week. I imagine she was a far better teacher for them than I could've been.
Marge Simpson did this with piano lessons.
