• Instructional Designer & Training Consultant

  • Oct 2019 - Present

  Having worked in the learning design industry for nearly a decade. I decided it was finally time to stand on my own two feet and do things my way. My business believes bespoke is best when it comes to training, and our clients fully support this. Why have generic training which will miss out things unique to your business, when instead, you can allow us to create custom materials from scratch - for you and you only!

• Instructional Designer

  • Jul 2016 - Jun 2019

  Previously I worked as an Instructional Designer based in Bristol for Lockheed Martin. My daily duties included developing courseware using a systems approach to training and using LCMS authoring software Kenexa. I oversaw the development of lessons from start to finish, ensuring good communication was upheld between all involved. Took part in content research trips to sites across the U.K. such as Cranwell. Went on training trips to learn how to build DTT and CBT lessons from scratch. Took the lead in testing and in-house training of authoring software which was built within our team of talented individuals. And worked with very complex subject matter daily. The courseware I built is now used for aviation training within the RAF. I worked closely with SME's to ensure the content was technically correct and can be easily understood by its target audience. At any one time, I could have been working on 8 to 25 lessons, whilst taking up various other tasks. For this role I was also required to have SC Clearance. I left this role due to end of contract with MOD.

  • Mar 2015 - Sep 2015

  Prior to my work with PTS, I set up a small graphics design company to keep me busy whilst I searched for a more permanent role. During this time, I attended training with the Prince’s Trust, worked with clients face to face, found work for myself and learnt many new things. My small company from home was more of a hobby at the time and I gave it up when I started working for PTS.
