Optimize the performance and learning experiences of your employees. How? Our students will design innovative training modules using the Learning Experience Design (LXD*) approach. Why now? Now more than ever, employers are looking to be inspired and people are key to the success of your organization. We are excited about our 6-month certificate which will follow the process and flow of LXD professional practices... taking your learning modules from ordinary to extraordinary!
