Learning design
for actual humans.
Because your team deserves better than Death by PowerPoint.
Learning designed for actual humans
Somewhere right now, someone’s staring at slide 74 of 118, silently plotting their escape route.
Another brave soul is on their third coffee, desperately trying to look interested while their brain has left the building.
Your people don’t hate developing skills – they hate wasting precious hours on training that insults their intelligence and ignores their reality.
The corporate learning landscape is littered with casualties: attention spans, motivation, and any hope of practical application. Why? Because somewhere along the way, we forgot that there are actual humans on the other end.
Instead, we create learning experiences that acknowledge reality: your team is busy, smart, and deserves better than having their time wasted.
Full service learning design
We handle everything from initial strategy to final evaluation.
We’re that rare breed who remember what it’s like to be trapped in bad training, operating from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth—but digitally uninhibited. We’re what happens when learning designers develop a severe allergy to mediocrity.
Our approach
With ADDIE as our roadmap, your learning solution emerges from a battle-tested process where careful planning replaces hopeful improvisation.
Analyse: We’ll dig beneath the surface request to uncover what your team actually needs. You’ll get learning that solves real problems, not symptoms.
Design: Here we blueprint your complete learning journey. You’ll receive clear, strategic plans that align all stakeholders around a shared vision. This collaborative approach secures buy-in early, prevents mid-project surprises, and ensures your solution balances engagement with effectiveness.
Develop: Here’s where your vision becomes reality. You get polished learning assets that transform complex ideas into clear, engaging experiences. Your brand shines through professional production that grabs attention and drives retention.
Implement: Launch time – you’ll experience a smooth rollout across all delivery methods, whether it’s face-to-face, virtual, or self-paced. Your facilitators step up with confidence, your learners dive in without technical headaches, and adoption takes off from day one.
Evaluate: Finally, honest assessment – what worked, what didn’t, and what needs tweaking for version 2.0. This clarity builds stakeholder confidence and turns your program into an evolving asset that grows sharper with each iteration.
Delivery methods and modalities
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training. That’s why we match the perfect delivery method to your specific challenges, audience, and goals.
Face-to-face
When nothing beats being in the same room.
Get immersive workshops with dynamic discussions, hands-on activities, and the kind of energy that only happens when humans share physical space. Perfect for complex skills that benefit from immediate feedback and social learning.
Virtual learning
All the interaction without the travel.
Live sessions that harness the best digital tools—breakout rooms for small group work, interactive whiteboards for collaborative problem-solving, real-time polls, and engaging quizzes that create genuine interaction, not just screen time.
eLearning
Accessible anytime, anywhere.
Get convenient, engaging digital experiences available whenever your team needs them. We leverage multimedia, interactive challenges, and realistic simulations to create courses people actually want to complete—accessible anytime, anywhere.
Blended learning
Why choose when you can have both?
Combine face-to-face interaction with digital flexibility for the perfect learning cocktail. This approach leverages the strengths of each method while minimising the drawbacks – like the training equivalent of having your cake and eating it too.
