Beyond instructional design

Training at CRESTMAS HUB is diverse.

Instructional design and eLearning is where we started and remains our flagship — but it's one of several tracks we train people in.

Our flagship academy — CIDDA Academy's four-path curriculum from foundations to professional practice, covering learning theory, eLearning authoring tools, learning experience design and portfolio-ready professional practice.

AI literacy, automation, productivity tooling, data-informed thinking and innovation practice for instructional designers and digital creators who want to build with AI, not just talk about it.

Leadership, business strategy, communication, project execution, founder readiness and team performance — for learning professionals moving into management, consulting or founding their own practice.

CV crafting, LinkedIn positioning, interview prep and freelance/consulting readiness for learning professionals at any stage of their career.

Yes. Most paths can be split into installments — tell us your situation when you reach out and we'll work out a plan that fits.

Life happens. Talk to your mentor or our team as early as possible — we can usually move you to the next cohort intake.
