Instructional design services. See lesson 1 designed and built, free.
Instructional design services plan how people learn before anything is built: what each lesson must teach, in what order, and how you know it worked. Then we build it: script, screens, voice, quiz and a SCORM file.
Send us your slides, SOPs or handbook. In 7 days you get lesson 1 designed and built, plus a map of the whole course. Both free, both yours to keep.

What an instructional designer does with your course, in 5 steps
Design is the thinking before the building. It is why a course works, or does not.
Sets one goal per lesson
One thing people must be able to do after it. Not "understand the policy". "Lock the cash drawer before you leave the desk."
Puts the lessons in the right order
Simple first, hard last. Each lesson builds on the one before. Nothing is taught twice.
Cuts what people do not need
A long slide deck often becomes a few short lessons. People finish short lessons.
Writes the quiz with the lesson
Each question tests the lesson goal. A pass mark says who is ready and who needs another go.
Picks the right format
Watch and quiz, click and try, or a branching scenario. Only as much clicking as the topic needs.
A course we designed and built, 92 lessons long
A long course only works when every lesson has one job. Here is one lesson from a course of 92.
What is included in your free lesson 1
Three things, and all three are free.
Lesson 1, designed and built (worth 499 USD)
One lesson goal, a script from your material, screens in your colors, a voice and a scored quiz. Delivered as SCORM for your LMS.
The course map (worth 395 USD)
Every module and lesson in order, what each one teaches, where the quizzes go, and the build dates.
The planning call (worth 175 USD)
With Abdou, who designs the course. A second call to show you the lesson is free too.

Questions about instructional design services
How long does the design take?
Lesson 1 and the course map take 7 days from the day we get your files. A full 30-minute course takes about 6 to 8 weeks from plan to launch.
What does it cost after the free lesson?
Most company courses cost 2,000 to 10,000 USD. Watch-and-quiz lessons cost about 60 to 100 USD per finished minute, click-and-try 100 to 180, branching scenarios 180 to 300. The cost calculator gives your range.
Do we need our own expert?
It helps. One person who knows the topic answers our questions and checks the facts. We write everything else.
Should we hire an instructional designer instead?
If you build training all year, maybe. For 1 to 5 courses a year, outsourcing usually costs less. Run your own numbers in hire or outsource.
How many revisions do we get?
On lesson 1, revisions until it is right. For the full course, we agree the review rounds in the plan.
Who owns the course?
You keep lesson 1 and the course map either way. We build to the rules you give us; your team signs off compliance.
