The coaching sessions are personalised — which means your coach will support you in exactly the way you need. This can look like:
- Deep dives into your work: Get the benefits of professional eyes on your work, and constructive feedback to help you grow.
- Q&A time: Have questions? Need clarity on the process and tools? We’re all ears and ideas!
- Tailored growth path: Our coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’re here to push your boundaries, deepen your insights, and sharpen those consulting skills.
We keep it simple—here’s all you need for the instructional design course:
- A zippy browser (Chrome or Firefox)
- Microsoft Office (we provide all templates and guides)
Looking to create eLearning? We recommend Rise 360 from Articulate. It’s powerful and intuitive, which is why it’s one of the most popular tools for building professional courses. While a licence for Articulate 360 isn’t included in the course price, you can start with their 30-day free trial.

You can use the ADDIE Toolkit of instructional design templates and guides forever. Feel free to make copies and tweak them to your heart’s content. Just remember, we still own the copyright, so please don’t share or sell the course or templates to anyone else.
If your team or organisation would like access to the templates, just give us a shout and we’ll whip up a tailored proposal for you.
See our licence agreement for more details.
