Instructor Development Programs (IDP)

We now offer instructor training exclusively through our Certificate in Adult Education (AE), bringing together the core teaching skills covered in IDP with more choice, current topics, and training tailored to your teaching field.

Along with lesson planning, teaching strategies, and assessment of adult learners, AE gives you the opportunity to develop the skills most relevant to your work. Learn to create effective online courses through AE 105 Teaching and Developing an Online Course, or explore how to use emerging technologies thoughtfully through AE 117 Artificial Intelligence in Education.

For a more focused learning experience, our targeted educator pathways connect teaching principles directly to the field you teach. AE 114 supports nurses preparing to educate and mentor nursing students; AE 115 focuses on teaching Health Care Aides and Personal Support Workers; and AE 116 prepares those training Early Childhood Educators and Assistants.

AE offers a strong foundation in teaching adults—and the flexibility to build on it in a way that fits your career.
