Instructional Design

Instructional Design Consultant & Trainer in Geneva

Instructional design is the structured methodology behind every effective training programme. I train your Swiss L&D teams to master design frameworks — ADDIE, SAM, backward design — so that every programme you build delivers measurable learning outcomes.

Why methodology makes all the difference in training design

Too many training programmes are built by stacking slides and hoping for the best. Instructional design replaces guesswork with a structured process: analyse needs, define learning objectives, design activities that build competence, and measure results.

I deliver training that covers the full instructional design lifecycle — from needs analysis and competency mapping to activity design, assessment creation and programme evaluation. Every method is illustrated with real Swiss examples, from banking compliance to healthcare continuing education.

The result: your L&D team can systematically produce training programmes that are engaging, effective and aligned with business objectives — not just pleasant experiences that change nothing.

Design is not decoration — it is the architecture of learning: master it and every programme you build will deliver results.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

Which design model do you recommend — ADDIE or SAM?
Both have their place. ADDIE suits structured, compliance-heavy programmes; SAM is better for agile, iterative projects. We cover both and help you choose.
Is instructional design relevant for short training sessions?
Absolutely — even a one-hour session benefits from clear objectives, structured activities and proper assessment.
Do you cover e-learning and digital design?
Yes — the digital format covers storyboarding, microlearning, video-based learning and LMS integration.
Can you help redesign existing programmes?
Yes — programme audits and redesigns are a core consulting service, often paired with the training.
