About James

I support companies, schools, and training organizations in designing custom educational programs, whether in-person, remote, or blended learning.

An American living in France for nearly 20 years, I have over 15 years of experience in higher education and vocational training. I created and developed my own Qualiopi-certified training organization, which gave me a comprehensive understanding of the sector's educational, operational, and regulatory challenges.

I am particularly involved in projects related to instructional design, training pathway design, e-learning content creation, development of educational activities, skills assessment, and the integration of artificial intelligence tools into training processes.

I can also assist with the implementation or optimization of training management systems, particularly through customized solutions built with Airtable and other digital tools.

Examples of deliverables:

  • Complete training pathways
  • E-learning modules and activities
  • Educational materials and assessments
  • Skills frameworks
  • Training management workflows and tools
  • Educational content in French and English

I favor a pragmatic, personalized approach focused on the real needs of each client.
