eLearning platforms andvirtual learning environments

We've built online learning environments for language schools, colleges, vocational training providers, medical exam preparation courses and a civil defence authority. If you teach, we can put it online properly.

In short

What you get

  • Moodle and bespoke LMS builds, themed to match your brand
  • Course structure, enrolment, assessment, certificates and reporting
  • Live classrooms with BigBlueButton and video integrated into the platform

Learning platforms that don't feel like admin systems

Most learning platforms are ugly because nobody designed them. We treat a VLE like any other product your learners use: clear navigation, a theme that matches your brand, and a course layout that makes progress obvious. Learners stick with platforms that respect their time.

Experience across sectors

We've delivered platforms for an English language school with students in over 80 countries, a UK college teaching foundation and pre-masters programmes, a phlebotomy and healthcare training provider, an online OSCE preparation course for surgical candidates worldwide, and a fire-safety training system for a civil defence directorate. Each one needed something different; each one is still in use.

Live teaching built in

Where you teach live, we integrate BigBlueButton so lessons, recordings, whiteboards and breakout rooms sit inside the course rather than in a separate app. Two London institutions have run their teaching this way since 2020.

Moodle or something bespoke?

Moodle covers most needs and is free to license, so we usually start there. Bespoke makes sense when the learning model or assessment rules don't fit any off-the-shelf tool.

Can it sell courses?

Yes. We can link the platform to a payment gateway or to your website so learners can buy and enrol without you doing it by hand.

Where is it hosted?

On infrastructure we manage for you, in the UK or EU, sized for your learner numbers. See our cloud hosting service.
