For professional certification bodies, regulated training providers, corporate academies, and other content-rich organisations. Strategic and creative direction from Dublin; design, build, and production from an established Cape Town team — under a single accountable lead.
Every engagement is scoped from the brief defined in the discovery phase. The categories below describe the typical shapes engagements take.
Flagship classroom programmes redesigned for a digital-first market. Instructional architecture, cohort experience, assessment, and platform packaging — designed for members who expect a programme to feel like a credential, not a download.
Conversion of existing face-to-face programmes into structured digital learning. Pacing, assessment design, faculty presence, and community moments rebuilt for asynchronous and blended delivery.
Compliance, professional development, and licensed training programmes for regulated industries. Built to meet regulator expectations and updated as the regulatory picture moves — AML, data protection, financial services, EU AI Act readiness, sector-specific compliance.
Course library expansion for content-rich organisations with a backlog to digitise. Editorial frameworks, content operations, and production capacity to move volume without sacrificing learning design discipline.
Short-form modules and learning pathways for working professionals. CPD frameworks, microlearning portfolios, and adaptive learning design — content that fits inside the working week rather than asking for time the learner does not have.
AI-supported content workflows where AI is used to accelerate well-structured work — not as a substitute for instructional design. Human judgement on what good looks like; AI on production cadence.
Pan-European institutes modernising flagship programmes for a younger membership and a digital-first market.
Compliance, professional development, and licensed training providers digitising programmes to meet regulator and learner expectations.
In-house learning functions inside large employers — onboarding, leadership development, and technical certification at scale.
Established providers digitising face-to-face programmes — executive education, membership bodies, and specialist content publishers.
The shape of each phase varies by engagement; the structure does not.
A paid phase to understand the business, audit existing learning assets, and define the scope of the work that follows. Concludes with a written diagnosis and a fixed-scope quote for Phase 2.
Programme architecture, instructional design, content development, multimedia, accessibility, and platform packaging move ahead against the scoped brief. Cadence and milestones agreed at the outset.
Knowledge, processes, and capability transfer to the client team. The engagement winds down with the client owning the outcome — not dependent on continued LearnFrame involvement.

Every engagement begins with a discovery and scoping phase that produces a written diagnosis and a fixed-scope plan — so the work ahead is defined before anyone commits to building it. No open-ended retainers, no ambiguous deliverables.
Scope, timeline, and approach are agreed up front and shaped around your programme — every one is different, so they are set deliberately rather than from a template. If after discovery either side decides not to proceed, the diagnosis stands on its own as your asset. Where a programme needs to stay current after launch, ownership and maintenance are designed in from the start.
Strategic and creative direction from Dublin. Production through an established Cape Town team. Two locations, one engagement, one point of accountability.
Diagnosis, scoping, programme architecture, editorial framework, creative direction, and client accountability sit in Dublin. The seat that decides what good looks like for the learner stays close to the buyer.
Instructional design execution, content development, multimedia, accessibility, and quality assurance through an established Cape Town team. English-language, time-zone aligned with Ireland, supported by a mature creative industry base.
LearnFrame is built on a career that began at CBT Systems in Dublin — the first eLearning company in the world to IPO on Nasdaq, in 1995. Two hundred-plus digital learning titles produced under direction across the years since.
A recent discovery and scoping engagement — what gets diagnosed, what the quote covers, and how the trial-first architecture is structured.
A regulated certification body with a ~100-module portfolio of CPD content on a legacy authoring platform. Four-week scoping phase: written diagnosis, scoped quote, and architectural recommendation delivered to the institute's Learning Solutions team.
Read the case study → Founder Perspective · 1996–2026From Barbados and Cape Town in the 1990s through SourceSkills and Skillsoft to NIIT — three decades on every side of offshore learning production, and the one lesson that built LearnFrame's Dublin-direction, Cape-Town-production model.
Read the case study →Custom eLearning development is the design and build of digital learning programmes tailored to a specific organisation's content, learners, and goals, rather than generic off-the-shelf courses. It typically covers instructional design, content development, assessment, accessibility, and SCORM/xAPI delivery.
Every programme is scoped individually, because cost depends entirely on content volume, the level of interactivity and media the outcomes require, accessibility standards, and timeline. Rather than quote a figure that wouldn't fit your programme, we begin with a discovery and scoping phase that produces a written, fixed-scope quote before any build starts — so you see exactly what you are committing to.
Professional certification bodies, regulated training providers, corporate academies, and other content-rich organisations that need a digital programme designed around their members and standards, not a generic course.
Off-the-shelf courses are generic and built for a mass audience. Custom eLearning is designed around your specific outcomes, assessment, and learners, which is what makes a credential defensible and keeps members engaged.
Most programmes run over a few months and begin with a discovery and scoping phase that produces a fixed-scope plan and quote before the build starts.
Yes. LearnFrame specialises in credential-bearing programmes for certification bodies and regulated training providers, using assessment-first design and a focus on keeping credentials current.
