For more than 25 years I have been designing learning experiences for training and education purposes in the private, higher education, and non-profit sectors.

Julian Bernal
Senior Learning Experience Designer
Throughout 20 years of experimentation, development, and refinement as an educator, I have discovered what it is that drives people to learn and how to create transformative learning solutions for them. I’ve worked as a teacher, service leader, and trainer in the language learning field for most of my life, and I am currently focused on building learning experiences and ecosystems for all sorts of industries.

Our Expertise
Our specialty is creating training and learning experiences that incorporate story-telling, empathy-enhancing devices, scenarios, games, reflection moments, and knowledge checks. These elements are research-proven to scaffold an effective pathway for your learners to achieve your goals. The Learning Experts work in the following spheres of social impact.
Postsecondary and Continuing
Education Programs
We bring specific expertise in postsecondary curriculum and learning design with a focus on integrating accessibility, diversity, and inclusion. Engage us as consultants for your Student Services, Continuing Education, and Organizational Development projects.
Health Care Training
and Learning
The sector that launched The Learning Experts, we collaborate with your Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to develop deeply engaging online and in-person training for non-clinical and clinical professionals so that your objectives for safety and optimum client care are met.
Professional Development in
Professional Associations
The role of Professional Associations (PAs) in cultivating an informed, effective, and value-driven workforce is growing. Our Learning Experts have completed training and learning solution projects for PAs that amplify the business goal of attaining maximum participation and benefit for members.
All Adult Learning and
Training Ventures
Adult learning facilitated by modes of delivery that suit the digitally-fluent learner (online, hybrid, hyflex, and/or in-person) is the future of training in organizations. Bring us your adult learning and training ventures to re-vamp and re-launch with the most current knowledge and practices in the learning experience design field.
Accessibility and
Inclusion
Learners bring a range of preferences and abilities to any learning task. We create learning design with maximum potential for engaging, including, and inspiring all learners to meet your learning goals.
The Expert Advantage
Rigorous, with passion and confidence -- this is how we approach creating learning experiences that change learner knowledge and practice. Other instructional designers, training providers, and Artificial Intelligence tools don't have the lived experience of teaching and the deep knowledge of learning theory that we do.
