What our students have to say
Even though you may have that knowledge, you might not have the qualification behind you, so I was feeling imposter syndrome. DLI definitely helped me progress in my journey within digital learning.
I started off not knowing what digital learning was, so if I didn’t do this course, it wouldn’t have opened up this whole new world for me. I wasn’t a very confident person and always kept my ideas to myself, but once I got into this area, I was able to develop in a different place more in line with my interests.
I got a promotion just around Christmas time. And yes, I have my experience, but I’m certain it was also because I had the Certificate to back me up.
I’ve gone from being a novice in the L&D field, to now where I am able to have conversations with the more experienced team members, challenge ideas, and bring new ideas to the table and how do we move from standard eLearning to microlearning, video content. That future thinking has all come from me joining the diploma programme.

Not at all. The Accessibility Cert is designed to be beneficial for anyone who falls into one of these categories:
• You have no experience in eLearning design and are looking to start a career in Instructional Design.
• You have limited experience, either in instructional design or development, but no formal training or accreditation.
• You currently do a lot of eLearning development but feel you currently lack accessibility design expertise.
• You will need to manage an eLearning project and want to know the key project steps and ‘speak the eLearning language’. -
The course assessment will be an online knowledge and skills-based exam. There will be a series of mini quizzes and tasks within the course that will provide students with enable progression.
