ID Bootcamp (Now the Certification Program)
Joanna transitioned from teaching to a curriculum developer role at Amazon Web Services after building a high-end portfolio that showcased her visual design expertise and personality.
When she started pursuing instructional design roles, she wasn't seeing the response she had hoped for. To show people what she was capable of, she decided to design a standout portfolio, and soon after finishing it, she landed her dream offer.
“I created a portfolio that helped land my dream offer at a top tech company!”

From Rejection to a Dream Offer
Before the bootcamp, Joanna had applied to several instructional design roles and received countless rejections. She felt defeated and uncertain as to why she wasn't getting the attention in the market she had anticipated.
After stumbling across Devlin's content, she followed it for some time, developed trust in the brand, and decided to take the leap. Within five months, she went from preparing to settle for a 60-70k role to landing an offer she wouldn't have dreamed possible.
“Before I started the bootcamp, I was a teacher actively pursuing jobs in the learning and development space. I had applied to several instructional design roles and received countless rejections. I felt defeated and uncertain as to why I wasn't getting the attention in the market I had anticipated.”
“I am not exaggerating when I say that it was the best decision I made - for my career and sanity. Not only did I learn how to navigate this space and connect with the larger L&D community, I produced real and tangible deliverables. I gained a clear understanding of how to take a project from idea to implementation, and I had Devlin and the bootcamp community's help every step of the way.”
“I created a portfolio that helped land my dream offer at a top tech company! Before I started this journey, I was a skeptic and in full disbelief that a career breakthrough offer like that was possible. Desperate to get out of teaching, I was prepared to settle for a 60-70k role. It was with Devlin's mentorship, encouragement, and support that I decided to aim higher. It was worth it, because it landed me an offer that I wouldn't have dreamed possible just five months ago.”
