Course Overview
As an instructional designer, you have the power to influence 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 all the approaches, design models, and tools you need to create effective learning events. The program consists of 10 modules that address all aspects of the instructional design process in detail: assessing organizational needs, designing the learning experience, developing 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. ATD’s Instructional Design Certificate is backed by years of research and learning science. As an organization dedicated to the talent development profession, our instructional design courses have empowered thousands of designers to successfully create outcomebased learning events.
