Course Participants'
Views |
"It
was a great and unique
learning experience
for me to take and
complete the IDST
course.
Now, I
can confidently apply
the instructional
design theories and
models in the work
assignments for my
organization. Due to
the relevant examples
provided in the
course, I was able to
grasp the learning
more easily.
Additionally, the
weekly discussions,
the quizzes, the
assignments, and the
online test helped me
strengthen my learning
throughout the course.
My dedication and
commitment towards the
learning sessions and
the assignments
finally paid off with
my successful
completion of the
course, and will
ensure the long-term
retention of the
knowledge gained
through it."

"IDST
is a well designed
course that touches
the right level for
senior professionals.
Every aspect of the
course - the
structure, the concept
clarity, the examples,
and the assignments -
is really impressive.
The discussion forum
provided a great
platform to interact
with other
participants. The
course design followed
exactly what it
taught. The Examples
and the activities
were relevant and
related to real
life/work scenarios.
Feedback was
constructive and
really motivating.
Though, with my busy
schedule it was quite
challenging to meet
the timelines of the
assignments, it was
not stress-generating.
I enjoyed every moment
I spent with the
course and I regret
that it came to an
end.
I have
started analysing my
work assignments with
the concepts learnt
and have also started
recommending the IDST
course to my friends."

IDST Course
Participants' Views
"IDST course is one of the most comprehensive courses in Instructional Design and Training that I have ever come across.
I had certain expectations when I took the course, but I was totally amazed by the detailed design and delivery of this course.
The delivery of this course, which is the icing on the cake, is all due to the efforts of who I like to call as the wizard of this trade, Shafali Anand. Each exercise and activity is so immaculately designed and delivered that it speaks volume of the experience and in-depth knowledge of the creator of this course, Shafali. She mentors each and every course participant and guides them in a way that their doubts are cleared for life. There is never a lull moment and in fact, one taking the course is always on their best foot forward. A big Thank You to Shafali for making this unique course so engaging and thorough that I wished it had continued for few more weeks."

"I was looking for a
course in Instructional Design that
would impart in-depth clarity on the
application of the Instructional
Design theory, principles and not
just theoretical knowledge. One of
my colleagues suggested 2 courses
(IDCD course and IDST course) from
Creative Agni. In my opinion the IDST
course is more appropriate and
relevant for a senior executive.
The course is well
structured and provides an inspiring
environment in which participants
from diverse backgrounds contribute
to discussions, offering different
views and their rich experience. The
interaction with Shafali and the
other participants enriched my
knowledge and exposure. It did not
only refresh what I have learned
from my past experience and other
corporate training courses, it
frequently inspired me with new
perspectives.
I am looking forward
to use the learning from the course
and I am sure it will benefit me for
the rest of my life – both personal
and professional."

"I was looking for a
program in Instructional Design (ID)
which combines both theory and
practice and therefore decided to
enrol for the IDST Certificate
Course with Creative Agni.
What impressed me
the most about the course was the
use of different ID principles in
teaching it. Along with the
classroom sessions, there were
assignments, quizzes as well as a
very interactive online discussion
forum, which made the learning
experience both enjoyable and
effective.
I am confident of
applying many of these ID concepts
both in my role as a teacher and as
a learning and development
consultant."

"The course is very
well structured and begins with the
principles, theories, and frameworks
of Instructional Design which is
then followed by applying them in
the Classroom and Home Assignments.
Every assignment relates to the
organization with which we work,
which helps make it logically and
practically applicable. The
discussion forum is one of the most
interesting aspects of the course as
it ensures learning through the week
followed by real life scenarios
where the concepts learnt needed to
be applied and discussed. The
evaluation was well timed within the
course followed by the final
presentation and online test which
was an icing on the cake.
Today I feel
confident of applying my knowledge.
Last but not the least I would like
to make a special mention of Shafali
who will go out of the way to ensure
success in each learner’s learning
thereby making it effective and her
advices are something to vouch for.
Thank you for such an amazing
learning experience Shafali!!!"

"The IDST program
was a great learning experience for
me. These 8 weeks of learning
instructional design principles and
putting them each one into practice
was quite challenging and exciting
at the same time. I appreciate the

aspect of this program seems to be
meticulously designed and well
thought of. I believe that it has
everything that an instructional
design program for senior
