Let’s Do This Together.
Our course has helped 500+ graduates go on to create 1000+ multi-asset learning initiatives and produced 3+ ATD BEST Award winners. 97% recommend the course.
Driving learning while applying outdated, one-and-done instructional design models in today’s hybrid work world often results in little proof of business impact, which in turn can be frustrating and eventually lead to burnout.
Here’s a well-known secret amongst LCD Certified Practitioners: When you invest in building this competency, your order-taking days will gradually decrease until they hit zero. As a result, your business impact will become visible, and consequently, your stakeholder reputation will transform.
Not only that, but you will also stand out amongst your peers for new job opportunities, and in addition, you will steadily progress up the career ladder.
The LCD Professional Program is an application-centered certification course that provides year-long access, specifically designed for those who want to embed multi-asset learning initiatives so that on-the-job behavior changes become an everyday part of their work.
Alumni share that they got a quick win because of the real cluster they worked on, and as a result, the LCD model has become a big part of the way they work, which is why they are actively making progress in modernizing learning at their organization.
Why? It’s simple facts. According to Training Industry’s research:
-
According to research, 70% of learning leaders believe that utilizing more than one modality is crucial for training because it enhances engagement and therefore leads to more effective learning outcomes.
-
In fact, 52% of training programs use between 3 to 6 modalities to train their employees, showing that a multi-modal approach is increasingly preferred because it boosts engagement and learning effectiveness.
-
Approximately 30% of learning leaders provide some form of customization in their training programs, which means that organizations are increasingly tailoring learning experiences so that they better meet employee needs and improve results.
-
Employees found on-the-job training (82%), on-the-job coaching (19%), and informal social learning (71%) to be the most effective training methods.
In other words, EVERYTHING the LCD model trains you how to do.
And get this: as AI advances, the content creation part of L&D’s job is becoming increasingly less valuable. That means strategy IS the value you will need to provide.
This certification demonstrates your ability to design & develop a strategic multi-asset learning initiative for complex topics with speed, consistency, and quality.
Is it time to reskill? You bet it is.

What Our Graduates Say
“You have nothing to lose and you won’t regret it. My team and I tried for a year and a half to apply the model on our own. I’ve read the book twice. The LCD Practicum flipped us completely and gave us the right direction we had been missing.”
S. Ashford. L&D & Customer Education Leader, GE Digital“I was never satisfied with the benefits to the business in my LCD OTJ Change Objectives. On my own, I was not able to pinpoint why I never felt they were right, but during the coaching session and hear other participants share their OCOs, it was identified that I was too vague and general.”
D. Gsoell, L&D Leader, Veritext Legal“By working through the Tools step by step really helped me understand how to use the model and getting feedback was the biggest takeaway.
It was great to talk in-depth and ask my questions to the facilitators was really helpful. We had questions we had been collecting through the book that we got to answer.
It was also valuable to hear other people and how they are going to apply the model in their companies, that community aspect.”
E. Strong, L&D Manager, Veritext LegalI love how we learned how to bring learning into the flow of work in a manageable way.
One thing that was an ah-ha for me was when Crystal was teaching us how to have interviews with people. I actually called people up during the practicum to ask them about their pain points and it was like this whole world opened up for me.
I get to design training now that impacts their pain points AND I learned new things they needed through these interviews.”

Build Your Strategy Consulting Business Add On
Imagine doing a single $50,000 consulting engagement versus ten $3,000 engagements.
While most L&D consultants compete to provide technical instructional design across only a few modalities—such as e-learning, videos, and live curriculum design—consultants skilled in the LCD model stand out.
In fact, they distinguish themselves through their ability to develop learning strategy and build ecosystems tailored to specific business challenges.
Moreover, in addition to learning the LCD model through all Practicum offerings, you also gain a separate module covering Project Proposals, the Contracting Process, and additional guidance on building a business around strategy consulting.
Helen Davison, Chief Learning Officer Invested in LCD for her Team for Enterprise Wide Initiatives
“It’s been a real eye opener of how silo-ed we had been as a learning department in our organization.”
“It’s been a really integral driver for us to select assets in the Surround Action. It’s really easy to fall in the trap of designing for the new learner. It really pushes you to think past now to all those other learning moments.”
“One of the things that I find interesting is how much the language of the model has become a part of the language of our broader organization.”
“It’s amazing how rich the data source is to use for other things – it’s a nice benefit to the business.”
“There’s a reasonable expectation that we will win an award for our work.”
Cordes Lindow, Learning Consultant & Coach, Lindow Learning
🔥 “I have found this is the easiest way to develop a learning ecosystem.”
“As a consultant, I want to have the backing to say this is something I can do.”
“Working through the Tools, I came up with a plan for the client…the pain points, the solutions, the assets that I could then offer as the next services, as a menu for the client to choose from.”
🔥 “I don’t want to do one and done. I didn’t want to just be making courses. The LCD model definitely helps you shift that focus. I’m going to structure all my client engagements this way.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I pay for this training?
There are several options for you to consider:
- Do you have a professional development budget available through your work? If so, this course should be a no-brainer as your investment for the year. In addition, we recommend sharing with your manager a link to an example of what participants produce by the end of the course, along with all the benefits you’ll receive over the year, and also our page about LCD model page.
- Do you personally set aside a budget for your own development and career growth? Often, like doctors, we don’t take our own medicine! Therefore, it’s important to value your own learning and development as you help others learn. So, what would need to be true for you to invest in this course? For example, would you need to save for a few months, or would a payment plan help? Either way, just let us know by emailing info@learningclusterdesign.com with your pathway to investing in yourself!
Why should I invest in the LCD Advanced Training if I’ve read the book?
While the book does an amazing job introducing the model and providing a few examples, the book does not:
- Go in depth on implementation
- Train you on the new version of the Tools
- Adequately support learning by doing.
We coach you as complexities in application arise and make sure you actually learn the capability you came for. Those who try it on their own often quit soon after because they are unable to fully leverage the concepts and the Tools and they don’t get the results they expect.
What better way to learn the model than to apply it to your work, centered in your organization’s culture, learners, and business challenges, with expert coaching & advising along the way?
Do I receive a Certificate I can share when I complete content?
You will receive a LCD Fieldwork certificate for completing the course.
What payment options are available?
You can pay via credit card. You will be issued an automatic invoice once your payment is processed.
