We're building Africa's
instructional design hub.
CRESTMAS HUB exists to raise a generation of African instructional designers, eLearning developers and digital creators who shape the way the world learns.
Equip people to design learning that transforms lives.
Through structured training paths, dedicated mentorship and a thriving community of practitioners, we close the gap between curiosity and career-ready competence in instructional design and digital learning.
A continent that exports world-class learning design.
We see African IDs and developers leading EdTech teams, consulting for global enterprises, and building learning products that ship across markets — confident, certified and connected.
How CRESTMAS HUB came to be.
CRESTMAS HUB starts as an idea: African instructional designers deserve world-class, practitioner-led training.
The first cohorts and community conversations shape what the academy should actually teach.
CIDDA Academy's curriculum takes shape as a structured, four-path learning journey.
Mentorship becomes a built-in part of every path, not an optional add-on.
AI & Digital Innovation and Business & Leadership academies join the training offering.
The SaaS ecosystem and organizational partnerships extend CRESTMAS HUB beyond one classroom.
CREST: five commitments to every learner.
