The Instructional Design for Content Development & Training (with the AI Module) Certificate Course [IDCDT-AIM Online]

" After attending Shafali’s classes for the IDCD course, I realized that learning need not be just skin-deep.

The design of the IDCD course is a master piece of art, not only are we learning about various theories, models and frameworks during the event of the course, rather we are participants in a similar kind of framework while undertaking the course. Initially, I wasn’t sure of starting my career as an Instructional designer, however today, after the completion of the course, I am proud of having made this choice, thanks to the confidence instilled by my mentor Shafali and her intricately designed course.

The course was no short of a roller-coaster ride and I thoroughly enjoyed every turn it took. I was fascinated of how beautifully this course took me through Instructional design and content development that it is now almost "running in my blood." Thank you Shafali for supporting me through this course, I will certainly look forward to attending another one in the near future! "

" The IDCD course was a great learning experience. I was exploring a new career option after a 10 years experience as a marketing coordinator and ID was one of the options that I was looking at. After discussing with Shafali I decided to take up the course as I did not have any elearning background. The 8 weeks programme removed my doubts and confusions about my choice of taking up the IDCD course. I did not just learn the various learning theories but was also able to map them to my personal experiences. The excellent course \content and continuous motivation by Shafali has made even somebody like me, who is completely new to the elearning industry, confident of being able to pursue a career in instructional design. "

" It was a beautiful and systematic journey into the enchanting world of instructional design. All I would like to say is, once on-board 'Creative Agni Airways', fasten your seat-belt, and wholeheartedly entrust your zeal for knowledge and aspirations to carve a niche for yourself in this demanding yet expanding space, in the able hands of the pilot - Shafali, who will ensure that you reach your destination, by empowering you with her years of laudable experience and expertise.

For those who wish to embark on this journey, the only baggage allowed is a suitcase of curiosity and a rucksack of enthusiasm.

It doesn’t matter, if your thoughts on the subject are still formative and fluid, what’s exciting about the IDCD programme is, the availability of a great platform, to crystallize them, to create immersive and engaging learning experiences for learners.

Once again thank you Shafali! "

" Dear Shafali, It is a pleasure to know you and learn Instructional Design from you. On a personal front, I have never been inspired by anyone so much till date, my experience through out this course was very enriching in terms of knowledge and understanding about the e-learning industry. Thank you for making Instructional Design so interesting, exciting and competitive all through out and motivating continuously to bring out the creative side of me as an Instructional Designer. "

" I feel lucky to be the part of IDCD course by Shafali because it is one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. All classes were interesting, informative and interactive. This course helped me understand the ID principles and models, which directly related to the projects. From the very first class, we were into the professional mode.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience as I was looking for a change (career wise) in e-learning. I am thankful to Shafali for motivating us and showing the right path for our career. "

" ‘What’ and ‘How’ were the two considerations when I was contemplating transitioning from my existing domain. Once it was decided that I wanted to switch to Instructional Design, the next question was how to proceed. After a careful scrutiny of the options available, I went ahead with the IDCDT course by Creative Agni.

And what an experience it was!

Learning from Shafali was like being an Instructional Designer in a role-play, and she as a mentor, made sure that I play this role like a pro. IDCDT course not only made all the necessary concepts crystal clear but also helped me mould my existing skills as per the requisites of this new field.

This course is a force that will catapult your career. I would highly recommend this, as for me, this journey meant a lot more than getting a certificate.

Thanks, Shafali. "

" I was introduced to IDCD course by my friend, with a strong word of mouth. The entire concept of Instructional Design inspired me so much that I decided to grab this opportunity.

I joined this course with high expectations and I am extremely happy that by the end of the course, my expectations were met exceedingly. The entire course was not only structured very well, but also executed brilliantly. Personally it was difficult for me to make out who is better, Shafali Ma’am as an ID or as an Instructor.

In order to pursue your career as an Instructional Designer (ID) or a Trainer, one of the main prerequisite is one should know, how to develop effective and purposeful course content. Creative Agni contributes exceptionally well in building and honing your skills for the same. It has also helped me to give a concrete direction to my creativity and passion, to impart learning and further my career in this industry.

My sincere thanks to Shafali Ma’am and Creative Agni for providing such a wonderful platform, and wish them luck in their endeavor to fulfill professional and personal dreams :) "

" It was a great and unique learning experience for me to take and complete the IDST course.

Now, I can confidently apply the instructional design theories and models in the work assignments for my organization. Due to the relevant examples provided in the course, I was able to grasp the learning more easily. Additionally, the weekly discussions, the quizzes, the assignments, and the online test helped me strengthen my learning throughout the course. My dedication and commitment towards the learning sessions and the assignments finally paid off with my successful completion of the course, and will ensure the long-term retention of the knowledge gained through it. "

" The IDCDT online course was an invaluable learning experience for me with an invaluable mentor Shafali.

The course is very well-structured. The assignments, discussion forum, class activities, project and constructive feedback enhanced my understanding of each week’s topics. Throughout this course, I gained, learned and improved many skills that will be valuable as I start myprofessional career.

Shafali has been an exceptional mentor from the day one. She was like a true friend, who could see my worries and fears. The knowledge, wisdom, support and encouragement that I got from her are priceless for me. I am eternally grateful to her for everything that I learned during this course.

Thank you Shafali for your love, care, support, guidance and encouragement."

" I was looking for a program in Instructional Design (ID) which combines both theory and practice and therefore decided to enrol for the IDST Certificate Course with Creative Agni.

What impressed me the most about the course was the use of different ID principles in teaching it. Along with the classroom sessions, there were assignments, quizzes as well as a very interactive online discussion forum, which made the learning experience both enjoyable and effective.

I am confident of applying many of these ID concepts both in my role as a teacher and as a learning and development consultant. "

" To begin with, this course has been one of its kind in my academic/professional/personal journey so far. The course has been designed such that each learning session is a milestone towards bringing the best out of the learner. I am fortunate that I was part of the course as it not only made me learn Instructional Design but also made me think out of the box. Shafali brings the best out of the course participants and I am grateful to her for making me an evolved person both professionally and personally! "

" I was looking for a course in Instructional Design; my colleague suggested that I should connect with Creative Agni. After enquiry, I decided to join IDST course. The unique part of this course was that it helped me apply ID principles & models in the shortest period of time at my work place.

The IDST program has provided me with the necessary skill sets; it was a perfect mix of knowledge & application. This course provided me with a personalized learning & all credit goes to Shafali. She is an excellent mentor & always provides exceptional support to every learner (not only as a mentor, but as a friend too.)

Thank you so much Shafali for such an amazing experience. "

" Being a part of IDCD course was a wonderful experience. I was looking for a new career option in e-learning and came to know about IDCD course. I was fortunate that I was selected and got an opportunity to be part of it. Beginning from different theories and models to storyboarding, this course makes you understand every aspect of Instructional Design. Whatever I learned in this course, I applied it in my weekly assignments, discussion forum, quizzes and finally in my project and this is what this course is all about, understand and apply your learning.

I would really like to thank Shafali for going that extra mile and motivating us. Thank you so much for everything and wish you and Creative Agni all the success. "

" I came to know about Creative Agni on Internet a few months back and then I got this golden chance to join the course. I was looking for a classroom-based ID course. Being a trainer, initially I was interested in the IDST course. However, based on my experience & qualifications, I was suggested the IDCD course.

The IDCD course is well structured and it was lot of fun along with learning. There were online discussions, concept assignments, quizzes and project assignments, which made the learning experience effective. I really liked the way Shafali conducted this course. Her invaluable advice during the course has really helped me in performing well. Thank you so much Shafali for your support, encouragement and a great learning experience. The IDCD course was one of the best learning experiences of my life. "

" I was looking for a course in Instructional Design that would impart in-depth clarity on the application of the Instructional Design theory, principles and not just theoretical knowledge. One of my colleagues suggested 2 courses (IDCD course and IDST course) from Creative Agni. In my opinion the IDST course is more appropriate and relevant for a senior executive.

The course is well structured and provides an inspiring environment in which participants from diverse backgrounds contribute to discussions, offering different views and their rich experience. The interaction with Shafali and the other participants enriched my knowledge and exposure. It did not only refresh what I have learned from my past experience and other corporate training courses, it frequently inspired me with new perspectives.

I am looking forward to use the learning from the course and I am sure it will benefit me for the rest of my life – both personal and professional. "

" Upon joining the IDCD course, I realized that this is one of the best courses I have ever attended. The course is very well designed and its structure well communicated. A big thanks to Shafali for making this course so interesting and easy to understand. If it would not have been for her I couldn't have taken my quest of ID further. You taught all those ID theories and models so well that I will not forget them ever. Your constructive feedback not only helped me improve my learning skills but also kept me motivated through such a new course. My experience of instructional design, throughout the course, has been quite enriching. "

" The IDCD Online Course is made for those who want to embark on this really special learning journey with Shafali. She has been an absolutely fantastic guide all along. I loved her methodology as it inculcated thinking and then looking for answers within rather than the usual searching the web. Assignments made us learn, practice and delve into the concepts each day solidifying our base. She gave us extensive feedback each time and put in a lot of effort.

I would definitely recommend this course as there is practical application of the knowledge similar to the real world scenario. Thus one comes out as a confident Instructional Designer ready to work on real projects.

I would like to sincerely thank Shafali for being 100% invested in us throughout the course duration to ensure that we are able to grasp the knowledge and apply it correctly."

" I had no idea a two-month course could be so rich a learning experience. However, I was in for a pleasant surprise - not only was it a rich learning experience, it opened so many doors all at once! Instructional design is much, too much in demand right now as the scope in the field of e-learning is limitless. IDCD happened to take two months of my full attention in order to deliver me ready and raring to go and explore the countless doors that have opened for me. The course is extremely well-designed. I have never seen a more dynamic and prepared teacher than Shafali Ma'm, to whom I would like to extend all the credit and gratefulness I feel after completing the course. Thank you for the powerful, interactive classes, the discussions at the discussion forum and all the fun assignments which ingrained instructional design in my mind. "

" Shafali R.Anand is the gold tag for Instructional Design Courses. Before enrolling for this course, I was experiencing some performance-anxiety, as this was a totally new field for me. Yet, right from the very first day, I began experiencing deep creative learning. I am a creative person but before the course I couldn’t explore my creativity as such. The best part of the course was online discussions and posts about our learning but even that required creativity.

Through the course activities, Shafali molded us into a creative learner. I really liked the way the course was conducted. Shafali's invaluable advice during the course has helped me put my best in the area of writing and I now look forward to applying my ID learning in my profession as a content creator.

Thank you so much Shafali! "

" I had a very strong recommendation from one of my friend that I should take the IDCD course by Creative Agni. I was extremely eager to take this course.

Upon joining, I felt the difference from the very first day. The strategies used in the course to inculcate the intricacies of Instructional Design were awesome. I had never experienced such an effective and efficient way of teaching. The course is a COMPLETE package not just for an ID aspirant but for professionals too!

I would highly recommend this course. "

" I had heard about the IDCD course from one of my colleagues. Since then I was interested in joining the course, and fortunately I got the chance to join it. After completing the course, I find it even more useful than what I had expected it to be. The course gave me a new vision and a new perspective towards designing and developing courses. I have learnt of many new things, which are really important in content writing and course design. The classroom interactions, assignments, quizzes, and discussions helped me hone my writing skills and creativity. It was really fabulous - a rich learning experience. I have learnt not only instructional design, but also a lot of other things on personal level during the course.

The course was very engaging, interactive and informative from all perspectives. I had not imagined that a course could be so interesting. All the credit goes to the Instructor, Shafali Ma'am. She is a mentor in the real sense. She made things easy to understand by providing relevant examples and analogies. She has designed the IDCD course brilliantly. I feel proud to be a part of this course and heartily thank her for giving me a chance to take up this course.

This course is a wonderful platform for all the ID aspirants and I wish Creative Agni and Shafali Ma'am all the success. Please keep up the good work. "

" I feel that the IDCD course is great and it is one of the best learning experiences I ever had. I have enjoyed the course. Through this course I have learned about e-learning. The course has also motivated me to improve my writing skills. The IDCD course has given me a clear understanding of Instructional Design (imparting learning effectively).

The best thing about this course is that whatever I learned, I was asked to apply in the assignments and the project.

I’m thankful to Shafali for providing such an excellent course. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to become an Instructional Designer. "

" I have been in the training domain for last 11 years. Was looking to enhance my skills and learn more around the same. This thought helped me to look for courses in ID. Found Shafali, and went for the 1st free workshop. Was stunned to learn the depth around learning and its methodologies.

Shafali is a mentor in true sense. The program is designed in a manner that it will be easier to understand the theories and models around training and ID. The “Litmus tip” provided is amazing. The flow of training is great. The way the activities have been designed, you are taken through a rigorous work and the feedback process is amazing.

I recommend this training for all levels of professionals in training domain. Your insight towards planning or conducting training will change. The change is for good. Believe me, its amazing and I recommend this to all."

" First and foremost, I would like to thank Shafali for not just creating this exemplary program but also delivering it passionately.

Even after working as an ID for two years and exploring the world of ID, I was still not confident enough about the subject. When I searched around the internet for articles and tutorials about Instructional Design, I found lots of explanations of what, why, and how it works. However, nothing specifically about how to do it and what it means in the real world.

A friend recommended I take the IDCDT course, warning that it would be difficult and it was. Besides the theoretical aspects of ID, this course offers its practical application as well. It's not just about getting a certification; it's about becoming an excellent instructional designer. As a result, I can say with confidence that I have become one, or at least, I am on that path. 

I can go on and on about this course but to rest, it was a beautiful roller coaster ride for me. A ride that was safe for me to independently explore and improve by constructive feedback.

Thanks a lot, Shafali for patiently guiding me not just to become a competent Instructional Designer, but to become much more than that. "

" Before the IDCD course at Creative Agni, 'Instructional Design' sounded like a term used too often by the elites living in the utopian world. The pedagogy adopted for sharing knowledge at Creative Agni together with useful assignments and interesting online discussions definitely put the course in a league way different from the rest. Once you are through the course, you are ready to give the much needed thrust to your career.

So take the bull by its horns and get going!! "

" I heard about Creative Agni’s IDCD course long back from one of my colleagues and she had strongly recommended this course if one seriously wanted to pursue a career in Instructional Design.

At the very onset of the course, I realized that this is one of the best decisions I have made on the professional front.

Shafali's way of making people learn is of another league. The detailing of every concept is filled with so many personal and professional examples that it's difficult not to understand it. Then, there are discussion forum posts and weekly assignments afterwards that make your understanding clearer and stronger. Assignments were challenging and they were designed to bring best out of you. And such was the experience that I really miss those assignments and discussions now. Overall the journey of this course was nothing less than a realization for me.

So if you are thinking of a career in ID, Creative Agni is the right way. "

" IDCD was never a course for me. It was a way towards my transformation. I was a banker serving my notice period when I joined IDCD. I had been in the Banking & Financial Services Industry for past 11 years with nothing to do in Instructional Design (ID) per se. I joined this course as I wanted to become a teacher in finance and while pursuing this course, I realized I had everything to do with the ID principles taught in this course.

I promise all those who join this course are sure to get the following three things: 1. A realistic opportunity of becoming great in your domain. 2. A gala learning experience. 3. A never before kind of a mentor and a real true friend in Shafali.

I feel lucky to have completed this course. Thank you God, Thank you Shafali. "

" IDST is a well designed course that touches the right level for senior professionals. Every aspect of the course - the structure, the concept clarity, the examples, and the assignments - is really impressive. The discussion forum provided a great platform to interact with other participants. The course design followed exactly what it taught. The Examples and the activities were relevant and related to real life/work scenarios. Feedback was constructive and really motivating. Though, with my busy schedule it was quite challenging to meet the timelines of the assignments, it was not stress-generating. I enjoyed every moment I spent with the course and I regret that it came to an end.

I have started analysing my work assignments with the concepts learnt and have also started recommending the IDST course to my friends. "

" Thank you Shafali, for being my mentor. The IDCD course was one of the best learning experiences of my life. Shafali works on developing our thought process and helps align it with the concepts of instructional design. This helped me become more creative and innovative than ever before.

Thanks Creative Agni for igniting the creative fire within me. "

" The course is very well structured and begins with the principles, theories, and frameworks of Instructional Design which is then followed by applying them in the Classroom and Home Assignments. Every assignment relates to the organization with which we work, which helps make it logically and practically applicable. The discussion forum is one of the most interesting aspects of the course as it ensures learning through the week followed by real life scenarios where the concepts learnt needed to be applied and discussed. The evaluation was well timed within the course followed by the final presentation and online test which was an icing on the cake.

Today I feel confident of applying my knowledge. Last but not the least I would like to make a special mention of Shafali who will go out of the way to ensure success in each learner’s learning thereby making it effective and her advices are something to vouch for. Thank you for such an amazing learning experience Shafali!!! "

" I was nervous when I started the IDCDT course because it was a new beginning for my career and I wasn't sure if I would be able to complete the course successfully or not. However, Shafali guided me throughout the entire course. I now believe that enrolling in this course was the best decision I ever made. I am convinced that no one who wishes to pursue a career as an instructional designer should pass up the opportunity to take the IDCDT course from Creative Agni.

The course design is distinctive in its own! This course is delivered in an unusual manner. We learned the important principles of ID through a variety of methods, which are beautifully executed by our mentor Shafali in her own unique way. Every piece of feedback she provided was extremely valuable to me. Her constructive feedback always taught me something new, which helped me excel in my assignments, project and discussions. My personal experience has shown that learning from her has resulted in a significant change within myself. Through this course, she helped me reconnect with my inner self. The things I had forgotten, my experiences and life lessons — they were all recalled somewhere along the way.

Shafali has always guided me on a personal level, even during the most difficult times. I'd like to express my gratitude to her for all of her advice and motivation. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to me. My experience with this course was extremely beneficial in terms of understanding the e-learning industry.

Thank you for bring out my creative side as an Instructional Designer. "

" Whatever certificates I’ve got in my entire life, the IDCD Online certificate is the most valuable for me.

In the last two years, I have gone through many Instructional design courses. I have so many certificates, but they all are just certificates. Those courses did not impart the ID skills I wanted. I never felt confident working as an instructional designer after going through those courses. But after attending the IDCD Online Course, I can say this with 100% surety that I am now confident of working as an instructional designer. In fact, anyone can become an effective instructional designer after attending this course.

And it was not just the course - In Shafali I found a mentor and a great human being as my coach and facilitator. I am thankful that I got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from her. "

" I had heard about Shafali's IDCD course a few years back and ever since, had been waiting for the opportunity to be able to join this course. Finally, when I joined this course, I could immediately see why the IDCD course is so highly reputed. This course isn't only a learning experience - it is a transformational experience. Under Shafali's deft guidance, of course you will learn how to create great courses; but you'll also relearn what it is to truly learn new things and explore them, and also what it is like to have a great educator and mentor.

Thank you for all this, and so much more, Shafali! I can't wait for another opportunity to learn from you again! "

"The IDCD course was an absolute roller coaster ride. Right from Day 1, it was always a new experience everyday. Every assignment that was given to us, acted as a catalyst to start the processing of our cerebral abilities.

Storyboarding was one activity I enjoyed the most. It allowed me to go to the untrodden bylanes of my creative habitat. I am looking for new challenges now and create one of a kind courses for all kinds audience.

Thank you Shafali for your guidance and your patience. "

"The IDCD course helped me understand the ID principles and models, which I can relate to my projects and apply effectively in designing and developing courses. In addition to teaching us about the ID strategies, Shafali Ma'am encouraged me to write and present the content in my own way, which helped in building my confidence.I got to learn more than I expected. The course motivates us to enjoy learning and this is what Instructional Design is all about. Heartful thanks to her :-) "
