🚀 The Official ThingLink Certified Creator Course is now live!

Whether you’re completely new to ThingLink or looking to deepen your skills, the new Certified Creator Course has been designed to help you confidently create interactive, immersive, and accessible learning experiences.

This free, self-paced course takes you on a practical journey through the world of ThingLink, helping you understand not just how the platform works, but how to use it effectively to engage learners, support accessibility, and create meaningful experiences.

Why We Created the ThingLink Certified Creator Course

One of the questions we hear most often is:

“How do I get started with ThingLink?”

The answer is rarely just about learning which buttons to click.

Creating effective interactive and immersive experiences requires an understanding of learning design, accessibility, audience needs, and the many ways ThingLink can be used across education, training, onboarding, public engagement, and workplace learning.

That’s why we created the ThingLink Certified Creator Course.

This course combines practical platform skills with real-world examples, learning design principles, and opportunities for reflection, helping you build confidence as a creator while discovering new possibilities for your own projects.

Rather than simply reading pages of instructions, learners explore interactive content, examples, videos, reflection activities, scenarios, and hands-on demonstrations throughout the course.

The course itself models many of the approaches it teaches, helping you experience interactive and immersive learning from a learner’s perspective.
