Freelance Learning Designer

I'm a UK-based freelance learning designer providing short-term capacity for L&D teams delivering programmes under pressure.

Taking ownership of defined learning design workstreams to maintain delivery across multiple projects and deadlines.

What this support includes

  • Progressing existing materials
  • Owning sections of learning programmes from concept to delivery
  • Picking up incomplete or stalled design work
  • Working across multiple concurrent projects
  • Providing freelance designers to get your drive your project to completion

Example delivery support

Supporting the rollout of a UK-wide learning programme where delivery timelines were fixed but internal capacity had reduced — taking ownership of multiple modules, progressing incomplete content and ensuring delivery milestones were met without delay. Content designed in Evolve and Rise, with supporting interactive PDF resources for technical and non-technical job pathways.

How this support works in practice

Work is picked up within existing delivery timelines, aligned to project requirements and team workflows. Support can be introduced quickly and scaled as needed.

Support can be introduced quickly depending on current delivery requirements. UK-based, working across global time zones to get projects over the line

Feedback on this module

I recently had a requirement to deploy Mandatory Cybersecurity Training across the DFS organisation. Phil has been providing L&D consultancy to DFS for quite some time and so, with tight delivery timescales, Phil came on board to assist. Right from the start I found Phil to have all the right skills you'd expect from a consultant - he listened to the requirements, asked a lot of key questions, and then went away and started to build the framework for our training. Within days, he'd come up with the underpinnings of what has become a popular and well-received training module. Working with Phil was never a chore. He approaches his work with the right balance of humour and hard work. I would definitely recommend id8d, and look forward to working with Phil again soon! Head of IT Security DFS
