MEQ Impact: Voices from the Field

Beyond the numbers, the true value of Moodle Qualifications lies in their transformative impact on professionals. Here's what MEQ graduates are saying:

Ramon F. Villa (Instructional systems designer) explains how the MEQ broadened his approach: "The MEQ [formerly MEC] gets you thinking about ways to apply Moodle in different environments. Whether I'm in a corporate environment working on instructional content for professionals or working with young people, I can apply different activities that are engaging and effectively deliver the message. I am also able to expand my own ideas on how to reach learners. The MEQ adds to your toolbox."

The qualification's impact extends beyond personal development to institutional recognition. Ramon Villa continues: "After taking this program, my instructional competency has changed. Which has impacted my credibility. After completing the MEQ, I became the subject matter expert in my institution. All these questions started getting funneled my way: 'Can Moodle do this? Can Moodle do that?' The answer most likely is yes. Not only can Moodle do this for you, but if you do it the Moodle way, you'll save yourself a lot of time and money."

The MEQ reveals Moodle's comprehensive capabilities. As Ramon notes: "The MEQ helped me see the array of tools that Moodle has. As I mentioned, it's like a Swiss army knife—you can do a thousand things with it."

These testimonials demonstrate that Moodle Qualifications offer more than validation—they provide transformative professional development experiences that enhance career prospects, institutional impact, and creative problem-solving capabilities.
