Hello, here in France, we are kinda obssessed with diplomas so yes you do in most cases. Even though, some get into instructional design accidentally by designing courses related to their industry. Masters here are cheap however (mine cost 240€) We have a wonderful system called "alternance" where you alternate between training at the company and academic classes. You get a salary and they pay for your school tuition so it's a great way to gain experience. My university was also an edtech incubator so it was great to get contacts and clients. That's how I got my first freelance clients
Love a good book recommendation! I will check Map It out. "Design for How People Learn" by Julie Dirksen is my favorite. I do not have an education background, and only started taking ID classes because I was frustrated taking poorly designed trainings. Her book was a good intro into some basics about how people learn (as stated in the title!)
I’m totally at this point in my career! I have no idea how to get the “beginner experience “ for instruction design. I’ve spent countless hours redoing my resume but I can’t get my foot in the door. My masters degree gave me so much confidence in the past and even though I can’t afford any additional student loans Im at the point that I have to go back to school or go back to a miserable career in teaching 🤦🏼♀️
Without seeing all the places you’re applying and your resume it’s hard to say but some things I would consider are: how does your resume line up with the skills and requirements needed for that position? Could you perhaps do some side freelancing through an agency to build up your experience and sub or do something else? Instead of ID is there a job in a company you want to work for in the training dept like as a coordinator or something to start and then work yourself into ID?
Hi Vanessa, thank you so much for making these videos! I am considering getting into instructional design and your videos have been giving great input! I just gave you a follow you on instagram, and connected with you on Linkedin (: Keep up the awesome work!

You are so welcome!
OMG, her eyelids are about to fly away!!
And what does that have to do with needing a masters for instructional design?
