Instructional Systems Design for the Subject Matter Expert
Certificate Program

According to Bersin & Associates, training programs that are authored by subject-matter experts grew by 80% over the last year and are predicted to grow 40 - 50% over the next two years. (October 2005).

A common occurrence when using business & subject matter experts to design training is that they get buried in the detail and focus on delivering data instead of facilitating knowledge transfer. By applying a few basic, but critical, instructional design principles, these professionals can focus on the essential outcomes that are necessary and practical for the organization.

"Thank you for a fantastic introduction to ISD."

ISD for the SME is The Training Doctor’s flagship course. Offered both publicly and privately, its eight-hours of training provides subject matter experts with a basic understanding of training design principles including:

  • Needs analysis
  • Setting objectives
  • Design elements including course flow, activities, reinforcement, assessment, training materials and back-on-the-job resources
  • A final design project is due of all participants
