From Traditional Trainer to Digital Learning Specialist: How I Transformed My Career

After nearly ten years at ScotRail, starting on the trains and moving into training, I found myself stepping into the digital learning world. It was all new to me. As the Digital Learning Specialist, my job became transforming traditional training into eLearning and creating new learning spaces. I knew I needed to build my skills to succeed in this role. 

Working with the Digital Learning Institute gave me and my team validation. It made people more comfortable working with us, knowing we could scope, create, and deliver digital content that benefits everyone. It’s had a massive positive impact on the company. 

The course gave me clear guidance on how to turn ideas into fully developed learning content. I now understand the process from start to finish, and it has helped me work more effectively with the team to produce high-quality results. 

The wireframing lessons were a game-changer for me. Starting with a basic outline, breaking things down, and building from there made the process much clearer and more manageable. It helped bring our learning content to life. 

Having the whole team involved was crucial. Each of us took away something different, and together, we’ve created a stronger, more cohesive approach to digital learning. It wouldn't have been as impactful if only one person had taken the course. 

I highly recommend the Digital Learning Institute. It boosted my confidence, and I want the same for my team. This course is essential for anyone serious about excelling in digital learning.
