Our services typically start at $15,000 ex GST to design and build a half-day workshop or a 10 minute microlearn.
Costs typically scale as durations increase. For example a 60-minute eLearn might cost from $25,000 ex GST. Prices vary based on duration, complexity, the maturity of source content and the scope of your project.
Optional enhancements like professional video production, quick reference guides, research, additional rounds of edits, or strategy work can all add to the cost.
We pride ourselves on flexibility – let’s discuss your specific learning objectives and create a tailored solution that delivers the impact you need while respecting your budget. Contact us.
The investment for our instructional design services is shaped by a combination of factors tailored to meet your unique requirements. Among these considerations are:
- Research needs: The volume and depth of content required by us to develop.
- Deliverables: Outputs like videos, podcasts, and graphics can vary in production costs.
- Reviews cycles: The more feedback loops, the finer the end-product. This iterative approach can impact the timeline and cost.
- Program length: Longer courses typically demand more resources.
- Interactivity: Advanced interactive features may have added costs.
- Accessibility: Ensuring universal access can add design layers.
By understanding these factors, we aim to provide transparent and value-driven solutions tailored to your needs. Our services typically start at about $15,000 ex GST to design and build a half-day workshop or a 10-minute eLearning module. Costs typically scale as duration increases.

An instructional designer (ID) is a professional who designs, develops, and delivers educational and training materials. Here’s a closer look at their role:
- Learning needs analysis: IDs assess and identify the learning needs of a target audience, often collaborating with subject matter experts (SMEs).
- Learning objectives: They define clear, actionable objectives to guide the content and ensure measurable outcomes.
- Content creation: IDs design and develop materials, which can range from traditional course outlines to multimedia eLearning modules.
- Learning theory application: They apply educational theories and principles to create effective and engaging learning experiences.
- Assessment design: IDs craft evaluations and assessments to measure the effectiveness of the learning experience.
- Feedback integration: Post-assessment, they refine and adjust content based on feedback and performance metrics.
- Technology utilisation: Many IDs use Learning Management Systems (LMS) and eLearning authoring tools to deploy and track online training.
- Continuous improvement: IDs stay updated with the latest educational trends, tools, and technologies to ensure that content remains relevant and engaging.
In essence, instructional designers bridge the gap between content experts and learners, ensuring that information is communicated effectively, engagingly, and in a manner conducive to optimal retention and application.
Instructional design is the systematic process of creating educational and training materials using research-backed principles to ensure effective learning. It’s crucial because it ensures that content is tailored to meet learners’ needs, making training more efficient, engaging, and impactful. Through instructional design, we ensure that learners not only absorb information but can also apply it in real-world contexts.
Our instructional design process typically follows the ADDIE model, which includes Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. Initially, we analyse your training needs, learner demographics, and desired outcomes. Next, we design a blueprint for the program, outlining its structure, content, and interactions. During the develop phase, we create the actual course materials, which might include multimedia elements, quizzes, and interactive modules. We can assist in piloting and implementing the course, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your platforms or LMS. Finally, we evaluate the course’s effectiveness, gathering feedback for continuous improvement. Contact us.
We specialise in a variety of training modalities including eLearning modules, classroom-based training, blended learning solutions, mobile learning, and microlearning nuggets. Our team is adept at understanding your specific needs and recommending the most suitable format, or a combination of formats, to achieve the desired learning outcomes. Contact us
Recognising the diversity of learners is central to our design philosophy. We start by conducting a thorough audience analysis to understand their backgrounds, prior knowledge, learning preferences, and potential barriers to learning. Based on this, we craft content that is relatable, inclusive, and accessible. This might include creating diverse scenarios, offering content in multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for differently-abled learners, and providing supplemental resources for those who want to dive deeper. Our goal is to create a learning experience that resonates with every individual. Contact us
Absolutely—our courses play nicely with just about any Learning Management System (LMS).
We build using gold-standard specs like SCORM and xAPI, so integration with platforms like TalentLMS, LearnWorlds, Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas (and plenty more) is smooth sailing. Got a specific LMS in mind? Just say the word – we’ll make sure everything fits like a glove. Contact us.
We don’t just tick boxes—we build learning that lands. Quality isn’t a checkpoint, it’s baked into every layer of our process.
We test and tune as we go, with formative assessments to gauge what’s sticking and stakeholder feedback loops that keep design aligned with real-world needs. Our internal QA checks and multi-device testing make sure every click, swipe and scroll works just as it should.
Once your course is out in the wild, we keep listening. Post-course evaluations, learner surveys, and LMS analytics give us the intel to refine, improve, and evolve. Because great learning isn’t one-and-done—it’s a living thing. Contact us
Course timelines aren’t one-size-fits-all—it all depends on what we’re building together. Things like content complexity, interactivity levels, and course length all play a part.
As a ballpark? A one-hour eLearning module usually takes around 4–6 weeks from kick-off to handover. But if you’ve got a deadline breathing down your neck, we’ll flex where we can. We’re big on collaboration and even bigger on making it work for you. Contact us
We’re all about flexibility. Need a course built from the ground up? We’ve got you. Want to refresh or revamp what you’ve already got? We’re on it.
Content doesn’t sit still – and neither do we. We’ll help keep your learning sharp, engaging, and bang up to date, so it keeps delivering real impact where it counts. Contact us
Yes – we design with localisation baked in from the start. Our trusted translation partners help us deliver content that’s not just accurate, but culturally spot-on.
From text and audio to visuals and video, we make sure every element feels right at home for your audience – wherever they are in the world. Got specific languages in mind? Just say the word. We’ll make it happen. Contact us
