I love IDOL courses IDOL courses gave me the technical insight and iterative practice needed to become confident in my craft. This, paired with the Do It Messy approach helps to get over the obsession with learning in lieu of progress.

There is a lot to learn in this academy… There is a lot to learn in this academy but I love that you can choose your own learning path and bounce between paths if you'd like. I've created a lot of assets for my portfolio and I've received great feedback and support from other participants, coaches, and mentors.

Cohort 10 Review Over the past 8 weeks I have learned a lot about Instructional Design. Dr. Robin Sargent and her group of mentors and coaches are wonderful and very informative. The fact that you are never "behind" is a positive thing for me because I did struggle with completing tasks as the school year for me was coming to a close. I am still able to create and submit items and am now getting closer to my goal. Having lifetime access is definitely a win for me and I look forward to my continued learning with IDOL Courses Academy.

I finally completed my MVP portfolio I finally completed my MVP portfolio. The hardest part was devoting the much needed time to create all the detailed assets and graphics. I got stuck on the simple things at first (ie: font/color pallet/ overall design) and the fear of doing something totally new. I had a really long pause between when i actually enrolled to the completion of my first badge (LIFE). But I am glad that I am being resilient and not giving up!

An excellent start... IDOL Courses is a great place to begin if you're thinking about transitioning to Instructional Design. Everything you need to get started is right there at your fingertips, AND you have lifetime access to it. It has been such a rewarding experience. I have learned so much, and I feel very ready to apply to jobs and move into the next phase of my career.
