I’m an instructional designer-project manager with 18+ years of experience, looking for a new job but lacking experience in eLearning/LMS. What’s the quickest way to get up to speed? Any training or certificate programs you recommend? Note: there aren’t any opportunities at my current job to learn this. TIA!
Have you thought about a role as a Business Analyst or Learning Manager/Lead? With your experience, I’d advise against specific training in eLearning or LMS. AI is changing the game, so consider focusing on learning AI and systems integration instead.
For a quick start, try hands-on courses or certificates on platforms like LinkedIn Learning focused on instructional design and LMS management. They offer practical skills quickly.
Learn Rise; it’s very user-friendly for course creation.
Consider building your own course on platforms like Udemy or Teachable. It’s easy to set up and gives you a course under your name, which is a good start.
Get firsthand experience in different online learning environments. Familiarize yourself with what works and what doesn’t. Demonstrating familiarity with an LMS and having a demo SCORM could go a long way in hiring.

Thank you for this response. I’m leaning towards that direction, especially given the responses. Do you have suggestions for updating my PM experience without a PMP certification?
