Providing you with the skills to create high-quality e-learning solutions

Delivered over 3 days, this workshop will equip delegates with the knowledge and skills to confidently design, develop, assess and evaluate e-learning and gain a Level 4 Professional Development Certificate in e-Learning.

By attending this cutting-edge workshop you will be able to apply proven instructional design methodologies to develop pedagogically effective e-learning.

The workshop is an intensive, hands-on training experience. The number of places will be limited to allow you to work through your own specific e-learning issues and questions with the Consultant Trainer and complete the work required for your qualification.
