A Place to Start
Multiple Universities and professional organizations offer educational opportunities to learn more about the instructional design field either in professional certificates or degrees. The trick is determining which education pathway fits your personal needs.
Questions that you should consider before embarking on your educational journey include:
- What is your personal education goal?
- What educational background are your future employers looking for in a candidate?
- What time and financial commitment are you willing to invest in your educational journey?
Career Shifting?
You are not alone. In fact, many people who enter the instructional design arena do not have formal training in instructional design. Increasing your knowledge, whether through a certificate or degree, can increase your competitive edge and enter into the job you want.
