Instructional Design Certificate
Course Info
As an instructional designer, you have the power to shape organizational results by designing learning experiences that give participants the knowledge and skills needed to perform their jobs well. To be an effective instructional designer, you need a structured, step-by-step design process that you can rely upon to create outcome-based training.
In this Instructional Design Certificate course, you’ll gain access to the leading approaches, design models, and tools you need to create transformative learning events. The program consists of 10 modules that address all aspects of the instructional design process in detail: assessing organizational needs; understanding and designing for knowledge, skill, and attitudinal gaps; developing instructional materials; and evaluating effectiveness—giving you a complete playbook for how to create training programs.
As you go through the course, you’ll have the opportunity to practice each step of the design process—getting guidance and feedback along the way. You will apply what you learn to a case study that simulates a real-world work scenario.
