Best Certification for Breaking into Instructional Design field
In the US it seams that a degree or masters in ID is very popular and useful. In most of Europe a demonstration of the skills through portfolio is more often what will help you get a job, of course this is once you have proven your learning background through a teaching or learning undergrad. This Instructional Design for eLearning course is great for the practical skills and process of interactive eLearning design.
RyanMcInnes love you speaking to the local differences in this comment—are you personally based in the US or in Europe?
Hi Noele, Yes, based in Dublin, Ireland. Many of my team have a background in teaching or teaching English as a foreign language. I know some similar companies in the UK have recruited similar profiles for ID's. There are eLearning undergrads and Masters programmes but they wouldn't be as plentiful as in the US.
That is super interesting–thank you for following up there!
