I recently completed my Instructional Design from Sevenomy Learning, Pune (Maharashtra) where I am also a participant in hands-on Instructional Design. I have one year's experience as an Instructional Designer, with prior experience in operations and sales, across industries, for over 15 years. At 40, I decided to make this switch, as the philosophies and nuances of instructional design caught my interest. We use these in almost every walk of life, and as operations personnel, handling teams, and giving instructions was almost a form of daily communication. Hence, I find that my experience can be leveraged as an instructional designer.
