Digital learning, designed and built

Digital learning programmes that move the numbers.

LearnFrame designs and builds custom eLearning programmes for professional certification bodies, regulated training providers, corporate academies, and other content-rich organisations. Founded by Paul Robinson, whose career inside digital learning began at CBT Systems, the first eLearning company in the world to IPO on Nasdaq, in April 1995.

What We Do

Custom eLearning programmes, designed and built end-to-end.

Engagements begin with a paid discovery and scoping phase, against which the work that follows is fixed-scope.

Patterns we see

Situations that recur across professional and corporate learning.

If one of these reads as familiar, we have likely seen it before.

A modernising professional certification body reviewing digital learning options
Pattern One

"Our flagship programme is still classroom-led, and the younger board members are starting to ask why."

Pan-European professional certification bodies modernising flagship programmes for a younger membership and a digital-first market. Often the certification still has equity; the delivery model is what needs to move.

Pattern Two

"The platform is ready. The course shelf is thin. The build was meant to follow launch and never quite happened."

Regulated training providers, corporate academies, and platform-led organisations with a backlog of content to digitise. Production capacity, not strategy, is the constraint.

"We can't agree on what to build next." The mistake is thinking you're supposed to.
