Curious about a career in instructional design?

Then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve created a free 12-lesson email course for people who want to find out how to become an instructional designer and what instructional designers do. Breaking Into Instructional Design explains one of the most fulfilling and smartest careers of the 21st century (yes, I’m biased).

As an instructional design consultant and publisher of The eLearning Coach website and podcast, I get lots of questions about careers in instructional design, learning experience design, eLearning and instructional technology. This free email course answers all of those questions.

Who are these lessons for?

People from many different jobs think about switching to a career in instructional design. These lessons were written for:

Teachers who are ready to leave the classroom and want to start a second career in instructional design

Employees who were told they need to start developing eLearning because they are good at PowerPoint

Subject Matter Experts who became trainers but don’t feel confident in their course design skills

Writers who discovered that they can find consistent work in instructional design

Technical writers who want to branch out into something more interesting than writing manuals

Multimedia specialists who want to work with authoring tools and media to develop eLearning

New college graduates with a degree in the field who aren’t sure how to get that first job

Anyone who wants to find out how to become an instructional designer
