Digital Learning Designer

Build the capability to design impactful digital learning experiences across your organisation

As organisations continue to invest in upskilling and digital transformation, the ability to design engaging, effective learning experiences is critical. The Digital Learning Designer Level 5 Apprenticeship equips employees with the expertise to create high-quality digital learning that drives performance, engagement, and measurable outcomes.

Designed for organisations developing internal learning capability, this programme builds advanced skills in instructional design, learning technologies, and content creation. Learners develop the confidence to design end-to-end learning solutions that align with organisational goals and meet the needs of modern learners.

Develop professional digital learning capability across your organisation

Unlike basic content creation training, this programme focuses on strategic learning design and real-world application. Through structured learning and practical projects, employees learn to analyse learning needs, apply learning theory, and develop engaging digital experiences that deliver impact.

By the end of the programme, learners are equipped to design, deliver, and evaluate digital learning programmes, ensuring they are accessible, effective, and aligned to business objectives.
