We’re passionate about unlocking the potential in online learning for ambitious training providers and large organisations.
Too many online learning initiatives never take off (and never get started) because the strategy isn’t sound or the right approach isn’t identified.
If you have an idea about how online learning can help you grow your business or organisation, we can help you develop the concept and turn it into a success.
Unfortunately taking your expertise online isn’t as simple it might sound. You’ll probably need to think about:
And this is where we can help.
We blend our extensive commercial, technical and product development experience to online learning experiences that have big impacts on the learners, your clients and your own business.
We’ll take time to understand your business and plans and work with you to create a plan that we can achieve together.
We have a small but noble aim – to change how businesses use online and digital tools to share their expertise. We believe at the core of this is a fantastic learning experience, complemented with proven commercial thinking and a strong marketing strategy.
We’re not interested in quick flings. We pride ourselves on the long term relationships we build with our partners as they create better results all round, and isn’t that the best way to work together?
You’ll find that we’re easy to work with, but we’ll also aim to challenge your thinking where we think it’ll benefit the end result. We’re as driven as you are to make your project a success.
I can highly recommend both Andy and Mark for their relentless approach to delivering exceptional client service.
Their passion, knowledge and excellence are evident in every interaction and their ability to think many steps ahead of us has been extremely beneficial.
They have worked hard to make complex issues seem accessible and practical which is a delight for us as their client.
