The LCD Community of Practice (CoP)
A home for ongoing connection and support during the practice of the Learning Cluster Design model
Who is the LCD CoP for?
Those who want continued access to the LCD community, want access to expert coaching, and are already satisfied with their formal training in the model.
Often the place for those who want to continue their journey after taking one of our formal courses (see the menu on the left navigation bar).

We are often brought in late into the process. I think the LCD model will elevate learning departments in organization. Bringing that professionalism and more strategic thinking is really valuable.
“I have been reading the book (Designing for Modern Learning) over the past month and meeting with my team each week to discuss the chapters. Joining the LCD Fundamentals course allowed for many “lightbulb” moments and the terminology I first heard about in the book is now becoming far more familiar to me.
Being able to practice on a cluster was very beneficial for me! The model makes so much more sense to me now and I am excited to put it into practice within my company!”
“I think if everyone was trained on the LCD model, I think in the world of L&D it would completely revolutionize it, because we are trained to think very linearly from point a to point b and that everyone needs the same thing, but the reality is that we live in a very creative and diverse world. The beauty of the LCD model is that it meets you where you are and takes you on a journey to get where you need to go at the end.”
“The LCD model reminds me why I got into the business in the first place.”
“With the LCD Model, everyone would be happy at their job. You would have low turnover, high morale, people excited about learning because they will feel like people care about them as individuals.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there assistance for people looking to get their employers to purchase this training for them?
We understand that going to your employer for budget can be difficult. Consider tapping into your outsourcing or learning administration budget for subscription(s). Rather than professional development, the CoP is an essential – and much less expensive – opportunity for consulting support on modern learning initiatives.
Do you offer any benefits or discounts for teams?
At this time, given the low rate of subscription, we do not offer any discounts. Please be aware that our platform policies prohibit using an individual subscription on behalf of a team, and organizations found in violation will be removed from our platform.
How are subscriptions billed?
Subscriptions are billed annually where you pay for your 12 month access to the platform in advance. We have dedicated support agents ready to help with any issues – just email info@learningclusterdesign.com.
What payment options are available?
You can pay via credit card. You will be issued an automatic invoice once your payment is processed.
