The Phillips Institute TAE50216 Diploma of Training Design and Development will develop and enhance your existing education and/or training design skills and knowledge while introducing you to best practice design methodologies. The focus of this course is on designing and developing learning products and resources, addressing and supporting core skills development of learners through best-practice learning materials and methods.

This Diploma of Training Design and Development course will provide the skills and knowledge necessary to:

“This qualification reflects the roles of training developers and
instructional designers who are responsible for analysing training needs and designing training solutions and products to meet workplace capability requirements, and evaluating the effectiveness of training programs.
They may have a role in providing guidance and advice to trainers and assessors, promoting innovative practices, e.g. e-learning, and in researching and incorporating best practice in training and assessment into
training programs and products.”
