When trying to find the perfect instructional designer for your project, be it contract work or a full-time employee, there are certain qualifications that you should ensure are on their resume (or at least implied given their previous work). In the past, employers often had a difficult time defining the roles for instructional designers.

Business today moves fast, and it’s become critical for instructional designers to ramp up their own processes just to keep pace. Consider research conducted by ASTD that suggests it takes about 45 hours of development time to create one hour of classroom training (and it’s even longer for e-learning initiatives).
