Program details
Overview
The Instructional Design college certificate is for those interested in the theory, practice, and design of instructional content for a wide variety of delivery methods (e.g. face-to-face, online, hybrid instruction). This program will provide the theoretical and practical foundations for the development and design of instruction and training applicable to the higher education industry, corporate training delivery, or hosting subject specific workshops. Pedagogical theory will be coupled with practical module and course development to apply key instructional design principles.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This part-time certificate's admission requirement, per Conestoga's continuing-education program page, is an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or being 19 years of age or older. The page states no English-language test or score of any kind, and no separate language-requirements page is linked from this listing. Its one other stated condition is a completion deadline: all courses must be finished within four years of acceptance into the program. Applicants apply through Ontario Colleges (ontariocolleges.ca) and pay the application fee there; final selection is made following an assessment of the admission requirements rather than a ranked or competitive-average process, with no portfolio, interview, or prior-experience condition mentioned.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
