Do you want to make training design QUICKER, EASIER and LESS STRESSFUL?
Then you're in the right place!

The Training Designers' Club Premium Package

On-demand L&D support and development for less than the cost of a cup of coffee each day.  
(AND less than 1 day's consultancy)

There isn’t a lot of support around for the lone learning and development professional and if you're the entire L&D team in your organisation, it can be hard.  With no-one to bounce ideas around with, ask for guidance or share resources with, things can feel twice as hard.  

The Training Designer’s Club aims to give lone L&D professionals all the support they need by providing on-demand practical support and development, and a professional network at your fingertips. We help to develop lone L&D professionals via a mixture on monthly CPD sessions, online courses, and a regular newsletter signposting curated resources. But far more than that, we help them to get the work done by providing ready-written exercises and resources, providing answers to questions and sharing ideas on demand.

We offer a safe space and 'little and often' development where L&D professionals at any level can share, practice and learn to continuously develop as we complete real-life training projects and build our professional network

The Training Designers' Club Premium Package is For You If You Are...

  • The only person responsible for Training, Learning and Development in your organisation  
  • A lone L&D Manager (who are the entire L&D department) 
  • A HR Manager who has to pick up L&D, but it’s not your area of expertise 
  • Part of a small L&D team who would value an external perspective

Whether you design learning and development at a strategic level, or are firmly rooted in the creation of session plans and learning resources, the Training Designer’s Club Premium Package enables you to access a large virtual L&D team with a wide range of experience and expertise for a full 12 months.

It's like having your own training consultancy available to you for a fraction of the cost.

"I am in a stand-alone learning and development role and having the opportunity to work with like minded professionals has helped me to consider different approaches to designing training. They are my virtual L&D team."

Meet SHERIDAN

The Training Designer's Club was started in 2019 by Sheridan Webb. Sheridan had spent 25 years designing training for large organisations including Kelloggs, Costain, Warburtons, Johnson's Workwear and Johnson's Dry Cleaning, Aldermore, The Ardonoagh Group (Towergate Insurance), Keolis Amey Metrolink, Monsoon Accessorize, Matalan, Bespak (part of the Consort Medical Group) and Brook (charity).

She has designed everything from Induction Programmes to Leadership Development Programmes, including one-off workshops, self-directed programmes and bite-size sessions. And she has also designed a range of ready-written bite-size sessions for face-to-face or virtual delivery.

By working with a range of organisations and through extensive networking, it became clear that many L&D professionals find lack of time the biggest barrier to researching and designing new and engaging training. This led to training being created in a rush, short-cuts being taken with the process, and a stagnation of ideas. In short, L&D professionals were not able to create the learning solutions they were capable of. And many did not have a team to help them out, or the budget to buy in solutions from expensive consultants to share the load.
 
So the Training Designer's Club began as a group to share resources, ideas and advice for these people. It is now a generous community that acts as a virtual L&D team, providing regular light-touch consultancy and weekly group coaching AS WELL AS resources, practical guidance, courses on training design and regular continuous development sessions.

"As a HR Manager with responsibility for training, I needed help designing a session quickly. Within a morning I’d been given loads of ideas, signposts to useful resources, a core structure AND identified ready-written training material that I can use. This has saved me SO much research and development time! I just has to shape it and deliver it."

So… Are you ready to design training faster and easier?

If you’re in an L&D team of ONE or TWO (or perhaps the only non-technical trainer in your organisation) it can be tough trying to do everything from strategy to admin AND stay on top of your own development.

Our Premium Package provides a way to help your professional development whilst getting work done! Learning in the flow of work means transfer is immediate, and you (AND your organisation) see results straight away.  

"It's really useful just to talk things through. This challenge has been going round in my head for months and I hadn't progressed it. The Designer's Drop-In got me unstuck in 20 minutes."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our Premium Package provides full access for 12 months. It is NOT a subscription, so won't automatically renew. We will invite you to do so towards the end of your term.

No – but you can join our VIP membership for just 3 months if you aren't ready to commit. That is a monthly subscription.

Yes – please just provide a PO or anything we need to do to get that set up.

As well as Sheridan, you'll be able to access a virtual team of L&D practitioners that are a mix of freelance and employed L&D professionals with a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds. Most are based in the UK and our live events are based on UK times, though you are welcome to join if you are based elsewhere. We have a few people based in Canada, the US and the Middle East. 

I certainly hope so! There are a few practical courses that you can complete, and loads of guides and video tips to short-cut your learning journey. If you like learning in the flow of work and are happy to ask questions, you’ll really benefit from surrounding yourself with a diverse group of generous peers. 

No. We all have very different knowledge and experience and this is an excellent way to continuously develop. The beautiful thing about being part of a community is that you are able to give and receive help in equal measure. We actively learn from each other every day. 

Absolutely! Design and delivery are two sides of the same coin and many of our design discussions are driven by an upcoming delivery assignments that someone has. Imagine having a bank of resources PLUS access to 70+ fellow professionals to give you new ideas and refresh your thinking! We even have a coaches sub-group for people who consider themselves to be coaches rather than designers or even facilitators AND a subgroup for those in employment who may face slightly different challenges to those who are freelance.

Our regular live virtual meetings (Designer Drop-Ins, Coaches Catch-Ups and Lunch n Learns) that are included with membership are a brilliant way to build relationships and grow your network. They are also a perfect way to get support with whatever it is you’re working on. Our Lunch n Learns are recorded so you can always catch up with them at a time that suits you. We also have a very active WhatsApp group and a Facebook group where you can ask for help (or offer suggestions) if the time of the meetings doesn’t work for you. 

There are lots of How To Guides, Top Tip videos, Lunch n Learn recordings, exercises and handouts available to help busy L&D professionals do things more quickly, easily or with more confidence. You will also get discounts on Power Hour Ready-Written Training Materials.  

There are lots of exercises and handouts and other source material to help you create training sessions. If you’re looking for ready-written sessions, you get 20% off Power Hour Training materials, which are complete courses. We don’t offer elearning modules though. 

Of course! If you can’t get what you need from our resource bank or courses, ask the community. If you need more focused or hands-on help, I’m happy to work with you one-to-one. If you're in our Premium Package, you get a discounted rate.

"The Training Designers Club is amazing, with each and every person genuinely caring about others' work.  People will often go out of their way for other members to coach, mentor, share and challenge.   It can be lonely designing training on your own, but the group means I always feel like I have colleagues I can go to for support"
