Meet Cohort 1!
The first graduating class of The IDLancer Certification Program
About The IDLancer Certification Program
IDLancer Certification is a free program designed, in partnership with Teamed, to help instructional design freelancers enhance their business skills, client skills, and instructional design skills. The three-month program is broken down into three distinct phases, each focused on developing a specific skill set.
This certification signifies the candidate’s expertise, professionalism, and dedication to the field of Instructional Design. By meeting IDLance's rigorous standards, they have demonstrated a deep understanding of business principles, ID methodologies, leadership skills, and client management. They are committed to excellence and can be distinguished as top professionals in their field. Also, they’re cool.
We could not be more proud of the members of Cohort 1 and their dedication to The IDLancer Certification Program. It's not easy to balance professional development with the demands of work, life, kids, family, friends, pets, and TV time. These guys did it with flying colors and we'll miss hanging out with them every Tuesday. Congrats to our cohort of "guinea pigs" and best of luck in every single one of your future endeavors. We don't think you'll need it.

Cohort Superlatives
When it comes to awarding superlatives to this crew of brainiacs, we just couldn't do it. They're all too good. All of 'em! That's why we officially decree the title, "Most Likely to Succeed," to every single member. Because they will succeed. We just know it. (Don't tell them we said this, but they really have some stiff competition when it comes to Admiral Nibbles III.)
