Are you feeling lost in your journey to becoming an instructional designer?
Are you attempting to create eLearning courses but struggling to navigate the process?
There are so many skills you need to master, and so many areas you need to become proficient in. It can be difficult to know where to start, and how to progress.
Do you lack confidence in your skills, and feel like you are not progressing as quickly as you would like?
This can be frustrating and demotivating, and it can make it feel like your dream of becoming an instructional designer is slipping away.
Do you struggle to find time to focus on everything and often feel like you are falling behind?
Between work, family commitments, and other responsibilities, it can be challenging to find the time you need to develop your skills and advance your career. As a result, you might often feel like you're falling behind, which can add to your stress and anxiety.
If any of these problems sound familiar, you're not alone. Many aspiring instructional designers struggle with these same challenges.

NOT SURE IF ELEARNING & ID FOR BEGINNERS IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
The eLearning & Instructional Design for Beginners Community is NOT for everyone, and truth be told we’d prefer to help you figure out if it’s not right for you BEFORE you join rather than waste your time. So, let’s cut to the chase...
WHO THE COMMUNITY IS FOR
WHO THE COMMUNITY IS NOT FOR
It might seem strange, me trying to talk you OUT of becoming a member - but truly if the Community is not the right fit then neither of us benefits. I have a vested interest in your success (you won’t stick around long if I'm not helping, right?) - and that all starts by making sure the Community is right for you before you join.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY
Well of course I think the Community is awesome - it would be concerning if I didn’t! But don’t just take my word for it, check out these screenshots of nice things people are saying...
If there's anything at all that you're unsure about, anything I haven't made clear, any concerns or questions, then please contact us at [email protected] and we'll help you out.
