Farewell to IDOL On Demand: What’s Next for Our Students?

Mar 10, 2025

Exciting things are happening at IDOL courses! As part of our commitment to raising industry standards and expanding opportunities for our students, we are working toward accreditation for IDOL Academy.

To focus on this next big step, we are retiring IDOL On Demand and channeling all of our efforts into enhancing IDOL Academy—the premier training program for aspiring instructional designers.

What Accreditation Means for You

Accreditation is a gold standard in education, providing official recognition that a program meets rigorous quality and industry benchmarks. Here’s what it means for our students and graduates:

Increased Credibility – IDOL Academy certification will carry even more weight with employers, making it an even stronger asset on your resume.

Expanded Career Opportunities – As an accredited program, IDOL Academy will align with recognized industry standards, helping graduates stand out in the job market.

Continued Excellence – Accreditation will reinforce our commitment to delivering high-quality, results-driven training with real-world application.

 

Why We’re Retiring IDOL On Demand

To meet accreditation standards, we are streamlining our programs and focusing on a comprehensive, structured learning experience that includes coaching, mentorship, and hands-on application.

While IDOL On Demand provided valuable self-paced training, IDOL Academy offers the full package: practical experience, expert guidance, and career support—all of which are essential for long-term success in instructional design.

 

What This Means for Current Students

If you are currently enrolled in IDOL On Demand, you will still have access to your materials for the duration of your enrollment. However, we encourage students to explore upgrading to IDOL Academy for access to:

💡 Live coaching and mentorship
💡 Portfolio-building projects
💡 Networking and job placement support

We’re offering special transition opportunities for IDOL On Demand students who want to move into the full Academy experience.

 

The Future of IDOL Academy

As we prepare for accreditation, we are doubling down on our commitment to providing the best instructional design training available. This means:

🎯 More structured learning paths
🎯 Enhanced career services
🎯 Official recognition that sets our graduates apart

We are proud of how far IDOL Academy has come, and we’re excited for what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
