If you are looking into the Instructional Design field, I would highly recommend the AIDA program. If you are a teacher who is desperate to leave the classroom, I would double the high recommendation!! There is continued support throughout the entire program and opportunities for more support after the 9-month program ends. The cohort groups are invaluable. The more active and involved you are in the group meetings and coaching calls, the more you will get out of the program. This was an investment that has been well worth every dollar spent.

I can't say enough about how exceptional the Applied Instructional Design Academy program is. It is very well run, well-thought out and executed with quality and integrity. AIDA is a very supportive environment to be able to learn and grow. It has incorporated end-to-end support from learning new skills, developing a positive mindset and networking all the way through the job search and landing a position within the instructional design field.

This program is exceptional! The support, quality of material and resources from Kick Start through your first paycheck are unmatched. Coaches, working instructional designers, and even hiring managers provide guidance every step of the way, and the relationships you build with others in your cohort are invaluable.

Learning Strategy and Design has a great program. I feel confident in starting a new career as an instructional designer. It was a fun, self-paced course that I enjoyed with lots of support. I loved the people in my cohort group and am still friends with them today. I highly recommend it!

The program is well scaffolded and is self paced. You definitely get out what you put into it. I was highly motivated and worked extremely hard and am very pleased that I just accepted a positon in the field after only 3 months of applying in one of the most competitive job markets! Not only that, I had 2 other offers to choose from. The support from start to closure and beyond is noncomparable and I am so happy I selected this program for myself over the other options out there.
