IDOL Academy is like an immersion… IDOL Academy is like an immersion school for Instructional Design. I have learned so much in such a short time! It's a great community, and I feel very supported by my coaches, mentors, and peers. The IDOL Academy has a pretty vast wealth of learning resources that I am gradually working my way through in addition to the coursework. Dr.Robin Sargent's positive energy has been a great motivator and confidence booster for me. I was hesitant at first but now I am so glad that I made the decision to join.

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.

What a wonderful community of learning… What a wonderful community of learning Dr. Robin Sargent has created through the IDOL Academy. I've not only improved my skills as an Instructional Designer, but I've also benefited from the wisdom, experience, and assistance of many excellent colleagues. I can't recommend IDOL courses and being a part of this community highly enough.

It's not just a course, it's a community! IDOL Academy is a fantastic place to learn and grow your skills as an instructional designer. I started the course as a teacher and soon after landed my first job as an instructional designer! The support from Dr. Robin Sargent, the mentors, and the rest of the community is unmatched! This course differs from others like it in that it you work at your own pace, and you have lifetime access! It has every topic you could need, taught by a plethora of fantastic experts, from optimizing your Linkedin profile and resume to creating a portfolio, working as a freelancer, and everything in between.

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!
