Summary

What we do

We design and manage customized and engaging virtual learning environments that get results. We strive to help shape a better future though access to online education and training. The difference between us and our competitors is our old friend impact. We’re not about ticking boxes; we’re not here to force clients to fit their needs into an unchangeable offering. We exist to understand what our clients need and bring it to life in a way that has a real impact in their organization. We transform the learning experience because we want end-users to walk away from training future-proofed and better-equipped to do their jobs. At our hearts, we are the enablers of learning.

Why Work For Us

Organizations from all over the world come to us to create, host, and track their online training. Our three-tier support system (technical, administrative, and content) means everyone in the process is supported to achieve their goals. We are not a learning management system (LMS), we are a virtual learning environment (VLE). That means we offer personalized, customized training solutions (instead of training that simply ticks boxes), and we ensure people finish their training by designing for engagement.

What makes us different is that we save our clients’ time and money precisely because of our focus on customization. We address hidden costs such as data and deliver full transparency through training analytics. When clients partner with us for their training, they can take a deep breath and relax we are trusted to deliver high-quality work.

The end users – our clients’ employees or colleagues – finish their training because it is designed for exactly that purpose. They walk away from it more prepared and empowered to be better at their jobs.

Our Culture

Our clients are the centered of everything we do, they are our focus. We value understanding our clients need, and we strive to take the complexity out of online learning and training.
