You will learn about the most relevant and in-demand skills and tools that companies look for when hiring. The course is not as focused on a specific software as much as it is focused on exposing you to the most important software to know, having you experience/go through the process that is used at companies to actually create learning resources with the software you select, and getting you prepared to confidently apply and land a job in the type of role you’d like at the type of company you’d like.

Absolutely! We have course members who have never been teachers and they benefit from the course every bit as much as others. The fields they work in range from Human Resources to Training for large companies. Course enrollees also land jobs with a variety of companies, not solely education companies. The companies course enrollees now work for range from non-profits, to large corporate mechanical companies, to universities, and more. You will learn the spectrum of work opportunities that are out there in the field of Instructional Design so you can identify and hone in on the type of ID job you want. You’ll learn about and experience the process that is used in instructional design, along with the most important ID tools and resources you need to know. You’ll also receive the customizable templates for a resume, cover letter, and portfolio to effectively take your next steps into the actual ID workforce. The aspects of the course that relate to the education field and an education background simply give context to examples in the course and are not a limitation of the course to solely educators but rather more of an additional element. We love having course enrollees from different fields as they bring a variety of strengths with them from their different backgrounds and experiences! Trust me, you are welcomed and appreciated for the background and experiences you bring with you to the course!

Better question- Where haven’t they landed jobs? Course members have landed jobs at corporate companies like Spotify, universities like Texas A&M, education companies, ed-tech companies, contracting jobs from home, opportunities with companies in the US and outside of the US as well, and more.

A large share of ID roles are remote or hybrid, and we cover exactly how to find them, optimize your LinkedIn and resume for ID keywords, navigate the interview process, and present your portfolio with confidence.

Yes — the 8-week Live Cohort Experience is included free with your enrollment. Cohorts only run a few times per year, so once you enroll you'll be invited to the next available cohort. If the timing doesn't work, you keep lifetime access to the course and can join a future cohort at no extra cost.

The cohort experience includes an online community and live sessions. The online cohort community is accessible 24/7 for 10 weeks to get your mentoring, support, and shared encouragement throughout the cohort.

The live cohort sessions are 8 weeks long and held once per week to mentor you on course content and let you learn from and connect personally with guest speakers working in the field. The cohort's online community and live sessions start the same week and the online community is accessible 2 weeks after the last live session to get you further support.

Spoiler Alert: For being part of the program, you will also be given free access to even more support, in case you may need or want additional support and career coaching after the cohort wraps up. We simply want to support you as best as possible for as long (or short!) of a timeframe as you want and need.

The cohort meets once a week for 1-2 hours to discuss that week's topic. The schedule varies depending on our guest speaker's availability but you can generally expect us to meet once a week at 8 ET/ 7 CT/ 6 MT / 5 PT. A full schedule will be provided upon joining. If you're unable to join the live session replays are available within 48 hours.

Weekly live calls with cohort mentors, hands-on learning with experts in the field (Articulate Storyline, Rise, and authoring tools), portfolio reviews, a private community of fellow career-changers, and accountability check-ins to keep you moving forward.
