In November 2020 I registered up two employees within my organization for the ATD Instructional Design Certificate.  It was part of a pilot learning plan I created to create internal skills in ISD since are model has been to contract vendors.  They both loved the weekly course, especially the fact that they were asked to bring a real project to work on as they learned the processes and concepts.

I am practiced in instructional design, but don't have formal training beyond a Xavier Leadership Train the Trainer course.  Do people have thoughts on the best program?  I am looking to get a formal certification, but doesn't need to be a big program at all.  I'm looking for less of the theory A-Z and more of the "what's the next best stuff I can apply immediately" curriculum.  Thoughts?
