Hi, I am Mabel T Cline-Cole

Training and Blended Learning Consultant

I am the training designer and consultant behind Blended Vocation.

I take a practical approach to designing flexible training and blended learning content and experiences that engage people and deliver real impact.

  • Hi there! Let me share a bit about my career journey—it’s been quite the adventure!

    I started out studying microbiology because I was fascinated by the tiny, hidden world of microbes. But then, I took some psychology and education modules as electives, and everything changed.

    That’s when I realised my true passion lies in education, learning, and development and from that point on, my career took a new path.

    I blended my science background in microbiology with roles in public health education, international development, and designing learning experiences.

    It felt like I had finally found my calling. And now, after 15 years, I’ve decided to launch Blended Vocation. It’s more than just a business—it’s the result of my journey and a way to share my love for flexible, tailored learning solutions.

    At Blended Vocation, I focus on creating learning experiences that are as unique as you or your organisation.

    The best part is, I’ve built a way to balance my professional life with being a parent, which is so important to me.

    I’m here to help! Let’s work together to find learning solutions that fit exactly what you need.

    Together, we can reshape how you approach learning to make it work better for you.

  • I have 15 years of experience helping clients improve their performance and facilitate workplace learning. I create instructional materials and learning solutions with a track record of adapting solutions for different industries and sectors.

    My learning design approach prioritises relevant content, practical application, visual impact, flexibility, and blended multimedia learning strategies.

    I have worked with small and large businesses, including St Mungo’s, UNICEF UK, Crown Agents, Terrence Higgins Trust, and Connectr.

    I have designed learning solutions and programmes for The EBRD, Aon, Baker McKenzie, Cognizant, and National Grid.

    I design and develop blended learning materials and flexible training solutions, working with your provided source content or collaborating with subject matter experts.

    My expertise includes creating blended learning programmes, training activities, course writing, lesson plans, facilitation materials, customised slide packs, e-learning, video tutorials, eBooks, workbooks, microlearning, educational content, employee development strategies, and work experience programmes.

    So, if your strategy involves updating training materials or creating custom content for blended learning or flexible training, I can help you achieve your goals!
