Imagine landing the job of your dreams in 6 months or less.

IDOL Academy has helped thousands of students at different stages of their careers find corporate instructional design jobs faster than they ever thought possible. But don’t just take our word for it.

Sarah joined in June and had a new job by October.

“I could not have gotten to this point so quickly without the help of IDOL Academy! IDOL gave me the tools and the confidence to keep working on my goals and in doing so I was ready much faster than I anticipated! Having a community of folks to rely on kept me going and believing in myself!”

Jeff landed a new job in less than a month.

“Before I came across IDOL, becoming an instructional designer seemed like a goal that was going to take me several years to achieve. With the experience and expertise of the IDOL team and community distilled into the courses, I was able to step into the perfect role for me in a matter of months.”

Maedili joined in January and switched careers by May.

“As someone who creates personal finance content, I am very careful on what I make financial investments in. IDOL Academy was 100% worth every penny and more. The amount of resources within the program is unheard of. The community and mentors are worth so much more than what I could have imagined. I wanted my time upskilling to be productive and efficient. IDOL gave me the support, guidance, and resources I needed to not waste time. I started cohort 9 at the end of January, continued with cohort 10 and landed the perfect role for my teacher transition in May. I am forever grateful!”

Rocio found the program paid for itself in three months.

“IDOL Academy did a great job providing actionable steps in a way that encouraged instant application and results. For me, the program paid for itself within the first 3 months through helping me put together my portfolio, edit my resume, showing me how to make my LinkedIn work in my favor, mentoring, coaching, among MANY other things. I have not even completed all the courses and I am reaping the results.”
