Trainer1’s instructional design courses help charities and academia

June 07, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Trainer1, one of the UK’s leading learning consultancies, has introduced differential pricing for those who want to attend its ‘More than Instructional Design’ course.

Interest from the academic and charity worlds – as well as from the corporate and public sectors - in the ‘More than Instructional Design’ course, specially developed by Neil Lasher of Trainer1, one of the UK’s leading learning consultancies, has prompted Trainer1 to introduce differential pricing for those who want to attend the course.

Delegates from academic or charitable organisations can now attend ‘More than Instructional Design’ courses for £450 instead of the corporate rate of £650. Moreover, organisations from these sectors that send two or more delegates to a course can negotiate even further reductions in price.

The courses are designed to further delegates’ understanding and creation of e-learning, helping them to become both proficient and self-sufficient in producing effective e-learning materials. They help delegates to create precise, reliable and cost-effective learning for the most demanding of professionals.

“This course takes you through the instructional design process by working on a real project,” said Lasher. “We provide delegates with a process for structuring e-learning courseware to facilitate effective, performance-enhancing e-learning and the course takes the novice from the ‘toe in the water’ stage to ‘full immersion’ in the world of e-learning.

Lasher, who in 2006 published ‘The five ‘A’s of Learning’, a model of instructional design (ID) which encapsulates the lessons of 20 years of designing e-learning and related materials, added: “The tips and techniques that the course explores are applicable to ID for all forms of learning delivery – not merely e-learning. It is this cross-platform applicability that is attracting an increasing number of delegates on our ‘open courses’.”

The next courses will run on 12th – 13th June and on 3rd – 4th July. Both courses will be held in London.
