Traditional education prepares students for careers. Staff training ensures new hires are ready to do the job. And professional development helps employees keep skills up to date.

If you're interested in helping people learn, the Graduate Certificate in Instructional Design program prepares you to be an architect of learning.

You'll examine how to make learning experiences — in the workplace and classroom — interesting, productive and useful.

You'll study how people learn and explore how technology can facilitate learning.

You'll see how project management intersects with instructional design and learn how both enhance education.

And you'll benefit from Royal Roads' decades of experience as a leader in online learning.
