Instructional Design Principles
GetReskilled instructional designers and subject matter experts use instructional design best practice such as Gagné and Kirkpatrick’s four Levels of evaluation when developing courseware to make sure that training sessions are informative, stimulating and interactive for all concerned. For example:
- Learning Objectives and Alignment
We use measurable objectives and real world outcomes to drive content and assessment. - Scaffolding & Sequencing
Ideas are layered thoughtfully to build understanding and mastery and then recycled. - Assessment Quality
We use varied, feedback-rich assessments aligned to programme outcomes. - Engagement & Interactivity
Learners actively think, practice and apply, not just read/watch. - Real-World Application
Training is contextualised to job tasks and performance expectations.
Our goal is for our graduates to be able to do something practical and useful on the job from day one.
Competency Based Design
At GetReskilled, we know that one of the best ways to prepare people for the industry is through competency-based training. This approach helps trainees build essential skills by working with equipment, process flows, and real-world scenarios that reflect actual industry environments.
Our programmes are designed to be engaging, encouraging active learning throughout each session. Every programme is developed to meet industry needs, so that our graduates can develop the knowledge and confidence they need to perform successfully in their chosen area.

We believe anyone of any age can change careers and learn new skills
It’s a common opinion these days that if you are in your 40s or 50s or even in your 30s, you are too old or it’s too difficult and expensive to change careers.
Our goal at GetReskilled is to challenge this notion. We have been helping people make a mid-career change into the pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing industries for over 16 years and the 6,200 plus people we’ve re-trained, challenge the idea that you’re too old to start something new.
Our programmes are recognized by the world’s leading blue-chip pharmaceutical manufacturers. They are supported by governments in both Ireland (through the Springboard Program) and Singapore (via the WDA) – two of the world’s major pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs. And our academic programmes are accredited by Technological University Dublin, Ireland.
We are a company that grew out of DPS Engineering. DPS Engineering has been designing and building pharmaceutical manufacturing plants for the world’s leading companies for over 45 years and we incorporate that real-world expertise into our courses to ensure that our courses are industry-relevant, practical and give you the best chance of career success.
