– Nicole, Project Manager, Essential Energy
I worked with Tarsh and Michael from Instructional Design Australia on a recent project and could not speak more highly of their professionalism and commitment to their customers. Throughout the project they were responsive, helpful and a pleasure to work with. I appreciated the engaging way in which they worked, their initiative and the opportunity to work through solutions together. We are thrilled with the online training that Instructional Design Australia has developed for our organisations; it was well beyond our expectations.
Kate – The University of Western Australia
IDA/DLD has been a pleasure to work with, they exhibited a relaxed yet professional approach with strong communication and collaboration throughout the entirety of our project. They have provided excellent end products that provide the look, feel and usability we were looking for. IDA/DLD displayed strong attention to detail and consistency across several training modules while remaining very accommodating and flexible with mid-project changes and roadblocks. The team’s ability to take basic content and produce well-polished end products has made project management an enjoyable experience.
