Software Trainer - eLearning, Articulate Storyline, Camtasia, Captivate: Los Angel

Contract Software Trainer – eLearning, Articulate Storyline, Camtasia, Captivate

Ledet Training has been an Adobe, Apple and Autodesk authorized instructor‑led training company for over 15 years. The company operates bricks and mortar facilities in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, San Diego and Washington DC. We also deliver classes online in virtual classrooms and onsite at customer locations, so we are looking for trainers throughout the United States.

Trainers are sought for all e‑learning and technical communications products—including Articulate Storyline, Camtasia, Captivate, Robo Help and Frame Maker. The most urgent need is for Captivate and Articulate Storyline instructors.

This is a contract 1099 opportunity ideal for independent freelance e‑learning professionals seeking to supplement their business income with fairly regular opportunities to deliver classroom‑based instruction.

Classes are typically 2 to 5 days long. Class times are 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM with a one‑hour lunch break. Instructors are expected to arrive by 8:00 AM and be prepared to stay up to an hour later, if necessary, to answer customer questions or assist with any challenges. Classes are delivered during the business work week; there are no evening or weekend sessions.

Students are typically employed adult business professionals whose employers are paying for the professional skills development.

As independent contractors, trainers can set their own pay rate. Different instructors charge different rates, but those who set a daily rate competitive with industry peers tend to receive more training opportunities. The typical classroom day consists of approximately six hours of delivery, with additional time required for preparation and setup.

• Significant real‑world experience with the e‑learning products you will train on.
• Excellent presentation skills;
  Toastmasters membership or prior speaking or teaching experience is a big plus.
• Caring attitude toward learners.
• Willingness to obtain instructor certification, including passing any relevant certification exams.

A great applicant for this opportunity is someone who possesses both the technical expertise in the technology they teach and effective presentation skills, coupled with a caring approach that helps adult learners use technology to achieve business results.

Instructors who receive the best reviews are engaging and entertaining, carefully prepared and organized, and focused on what participants can do rather than how much they know. They are open to constructive feedback and continually hone both their technical and delivery skills.
