Get Your Employees Up to Speed with Rapid Custom eLearning Services
If you’re looking to train your sales teams on products and software, you’ve come to the right place. When you need to convert complex training materials into high-impact, LMS-ready courses within tight timelines, we’ve got you covered.
Adaptive learning, gamified courses, how-to videos, interactive playbooks, avatar-driven videos – all of these are solutions we offer at eLearning Solutions Lab as interactive, self-paced custom eLearning course development that appeals to your modern learners and closes skill gaps. We turn your existing training into engaging, role-specific experiences at scale and speed.
What Is Custom eLearning Development?
Custom eLearning development is the process of designing and building digital training around your organisation’s own systems, workflows, products, and policies – rather than adapting a generic off-the-shelf course to fit. Every screen, scenario, and assessment is written around the decisions your people actually make on the job.
It sits alongside two other options: off-the-shelf libraries, which are built for a general audience, and templated courses, which apply pre-designed layouts to your content for faster, standardised rollouts. Custom development gives you full control over instructional approach, branding, interactivity, and how the course is updated over time.
The work usually combines four disciplines: instructional design, course development in professional authoring tools, multimedia production, and technical integration with your LMS. When timelines are tight, rapid eLearning methods compress the same process without dropping instructional quality.
When Organisations Move to Custom eLearning
Most L&D teams don’t start here. They move to custom development after running into a familiar set of problems:
• Training doesn’t reflect the systems, tools, or processes employees actually use
• Learners finish the course but can’t apply it on the job
• Engagement drops on generic, one-size-fits-all content
• Compliance, safety, or revenue risk makes accuracy non-negotiable
• The business needs consistent training across locations, roles, and languages
• Internal L&D capacity is already committed to other priorities
If two or more of these sound familiar, custom development is usually the right call.
Custom eLearning Development Services to Cover Your Every Need
eLearning Solutions Lab provides a holistic suite of services designed to transform your existing knowledge into high-performing digital assets. Our expertise makes sure your training is available on-demand, interactive, and aligned with your business goals.
Full Custom eLearning Development (End-to-End)
We help you create a complete, start-to-finish partnership to turn your complex subject matter into high-impact digital learning. Our end-to-end approach makes sure your training is role-specific, engaging, and delivered at the speed your business demands - from initial instructional design strategy to the handover of all eLearning assets.
Microlearning Solutions
We make learning a habit by delivering bite-sized nuggets in formats that support learning in the flow of work. We build "plug-and-play" microlearning modules - videos, games, PDFs, playbooks, and infographics - that can be mixed, matched, and reused across different training programs on your LMS.
ILT to eLearning Conversion
We transform your classroom training materials into self-paced eLearning curricula, saving you a significant chunk of the time and cost of in-person sessions. Our ILT to eLearning conversion curates content based on your learning objectives, SME inputs, and information gaps, making high-quality learning available whenever your team needs it.
Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT)
This is where we replicate the collaboration and real-time interaction of a physical classroom within a virtual setup - driving higher learner engagement and maintaining the social side of training without the geographical constraints.
Webinar to eLearning Conversion
We multiply the impact and recall of your technical training by converting static SME inputs and webinar recordings into interactive, engaging eLearning courses. We turn one-way presentations into active learning experiences - and we handle full legacy content conversion where older material needs rebuilding entirely.

Our Proven Process: 4Ds of eLearning Solutions Lab
Discovery
Before we build, we listen. We run a needs analysis to understand your business goals, the performance gap the training has to close, learner profiles, and platform requirements. We work directly with your subject matter experts (SMEs) to gather technical inputs and identify information gaps. Output: a signed-off learning needs summary with objectives and success measures.
Design
This is where strategy meets technical accuracy. We align instructional strategy with your brand and objectives, write measurable learning objectives, and produce a detailed storyboard for your review - letting you audit flow, tone, and interactions. We secure your approval on the storyboard before production begins.
Development
Once the storyboard is signed off, we move into rapid production. We deliver custom eLearning at scale using agile methods to meet your 5 to 7 week turnaround, building in Articulate Storyline 360 or Rise 360 and using GenAI production tools for high-volume media - including complex webinar conversions.
Delivery and Support
The final stage is seamless integration. We run rigorous QA and testing on your platform to confirm tracking, scoring, and playback all work. We deliver bespoke eLearning in standard LMS-compatible formats including SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, or AICC - with editable source files handed over to you.
Who Works on Your Project
A custom eLearning project is never one person start to finish. Here's who you get, and what each role is accountable for.
Learning Advisor
Your first point of contact. Runs discovery, frames the performance gap, and recommends the right modality and build tier before any scope is locked.
Instructional Designer
Writes the learning objectives, structures the content, designs the scenarios and assessments, and produces the storyboard you sign off on.
eLearning Developer
Builds the course in the authoring tool - interactions, branching logic, variables, tracking, and SCORM or xAPI packaging.
Multimedia & Visual Designer
Produces on-brand visuals, animation, motion graphics, avatar video, and voiceover - so the course looks like it came from your organisation.
QA & LMS Specialist
Tests every interaction, every score, and every tracking call on your actual LMS — across browsers and devices — before the course is released to learners.
Project Manager
Owns the timeline, chases SME reviews, manages scope, and gives you one person to call. Repeat teams stay on your account across projects.
Custom eLearning vs. Off-the-Shelf Training
Off-the-shelf libraries are the right answer for broad, universal topics. Custom development earns its cost when the training has to reflect how your organisation actually works.
Pricing
Simple. Transparent. No surprises.
Fixed pricing. Fixed timelines. Every price is per course (30 to 60 minutes of seat time). You always know exactly what you’re getting before you commit.

What Drives the Cost of a Custom eLearning Course
Our three tiers already map to these variables, so you see the price before scoping rather than after. These are the five things that move a course from one tier to the next.
Seat Time
How long the finished course runs for the learner. Our published prices cover 30 to 60 minutes per course. Longer programmes are usually split into modules rather than priced as one build.
Level of Interactivity
The single biggest cost driver. Click-to-reveal and scored quizzes sit at the Rapid tier. Branching scenarios with consequences sit at Professional. Adaptive branching and software or process simulation sit at Enterprise.
Multimedia Requirements
Stock and on-brand graphics are included at every tier. Custom animation, motion graphics, a named on-screen facilitator, and human rather than AI voiceover all move the build up a tier.
Source Content Readiness
A finished script costs less to build from than a folder of manuals and a recorded webinar. We work from raw material either way - but heavy curation and SME chasing adds time to the Discovery stage.
Localisation
Each additional language is quoted separately and covers on-screen text, audio script, narration, proofing, and a fresh round of LMS testing. Build the English master first, then localise from the signed-off source.

The Value Proposition of Custom eLearning Outsourcing
When you outsource your custom eLearning development to eLearning Solutions Lab, you bring distinct business advantages to your L&D department. Companies across the US, UK, and Australia partner with us to drive maximum value from their training investments - scaling content production without inflating internal headcount.
That gives them financial and operational room to grow their training ecosystem. Here are the key reasons global enterprises choose eLearning Solutions Lab for custom eLearning services:
Significant Cost Savings
You get access to elite instructional design and development talent at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full in-house creative team. Our Professional Build - full interactivity, custom animation, and a named on-screen facilitator - is fixed at USD 4,500 per course, delivering high-end results while keeping your budget intact.
Zero Overhead Costs
When you outsource eLearning development to eLearning Solutions Lab, you only pay for projects delivered. No expensive software licences for authoring tools or GenAI platforms - we provide access to the full tech stack, including Articulate Storyline 360, Synthesia, and Vyond Go, as part of our service.
Reduced Operational Risks
In any large-scale training rollout there is always a risk of scope creep or SME delays. We mitigate those risks through a structured 4D process, clear milestones, and documented approvals at the storyboard stage. Our 5 to 7 week turnaround keeps your project on track even when internal resources are stretched thin.
Strategic Competitive Advantage
We minimise development costs and timelines to give your organisation a distinct advantage. Launch product training or compliance updates faster than your competitors, keep your workforce certified and ready for go-live - and unlike other eLearning providers, we complete 10% of updates free within the first three months of your rollout.
Outsourcing vs. Local Hiring
When you partner with eLearning Solutions Lab, you scale training production while significantly reducing internal overhead. Our agile development model delivers enterprise-grade results at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time local team.
We Reduce Your Internal L&D Burden
Managing custom eLearning development shouldn't become a second full-time job for your L&D team. At eLearning Solutions Lab we operate as a seamless extension of your department - designed to reduce your internal workload while maintaining elite quality.
SME-Friendly Content Curation
You don't have to provide polished scripts. We work from your raw classroom materials, manuals, or recorded webinars and curate the content against your learning objectives. We identify information gaps and work directly with your SMEs to gather technical inputs, so you don't have to.
Approval-Ready Storyboarding
We don't move into full-scale development until you are confident in the direction of the work. After gathering SME inputs we write a detailed storyboard for your review, letting you audit the flow, tone, and interactivities before any production begins.
Built-in Risk Mitigation
We proactively manage scope creep and SME delays through clear scoping and defined milestones. We build buffer time into our schedules and use documented processes to keep your project on budget and on target for the go-live date your Chief Learning Officer committed to.
Modular, Future-Ready Assets
We design every eLearning course with the next version in mind. Modular structures and editable source files mean branding or policy changes can be updated quickly without a total rebuild - protecting your long-term investment and keeping the content scalable.
How We Measure Whether the Training Worked
Completion rates and quiz scores only tell you the course was consumed. We design measurement in from the storyboard stage so you can answer the question your leadership actually asks: did anything change?
Reaction
Kirkpatrick Level 1. Built into every course as standard - end-of-module reaction surveys and confidence ratings that tell you whether learners found the training relevant.
Learning
Kirkpatrick Level 2. Built into every course as standard - scored assessments written against your learning objectives, with distractors based on real misconceptions rather than filler options.
Behaviour
Kirkpatrick Level 3. Designed on request - xAPI and cmi5 statements capture what learners do inside scenarios and simulations, giving you behavioural data your LMS completion report can't.
Business Results
Kirkpatrick Level 4. Designed on request - we agree the business metric during discovery (error rates, time-to-competency, adoption, safety incidents) so results can be tracked against it after rollout.

Custom eLearning Development Services FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions that we get asked about our custom eLearning development services.
Custom eLearning Basics
Custom eLearning development is the process of designing and building digital training around your organisation’s own systems, workflows, products, and policies – rather than adapting a generic course to fit. Every screen, scenario, and assessment is written around the decisions your people actually make on the job.
Off-the-shelf works well for universal topics like general communication skills or broad awareness training. Custom development makes more sense when training has to reflect your internal systems, when learners need to apply skills to your specific processes, when engagement is low on generic content, or when the training is tied to a measurable business outcome. Many L&D teams run both.
Building in-house makes sense when you have dedicated instructional designers and developers with capacity. Outsourcing makes sense when timelines are tight, volume is high, you need specialist skills like simulation or localisation, or your team is already committed elsewhere. Many organisations use a hybrid model – internal subject matter ownership, external production capacity.
A Learning Advisor for discovery and scoping, an instructional designer for objectives and storyboarding, an eLearning developer for the build, a multimedia designer for visuals and video, a QA and LMS specialist for testing, and a dedicated project manager. From your side we need a project owner and access to subject matter experts.
An eLearning developer builds the course inside the authoring tool once the storyboard is approved. That covers assembling screens and interactions, wiring branching logic and variables, building scored assessments, integrating video and voiceover, setting completion and scoring rules, and packaging the finished course as SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, or AICC for your LMS. It is a distinct role from the instructional designer, who decides what the course teaches and how it is structured before any building starts.
Our 4D process — Discovery, Design, Development, Delivery — is an ADDIE-derived workflow with evaluation designed in from the Discovery stage rather than bolted on at the end. We write objectives against Bloom’s revised taxonomy so each one maps to an observable behaviour, and we use iterative storyboard review in the spirit of SAM so you approve direction before production costs are committed. The model matters less than the checkpoint: nothing gets built until you have signed off what it is meant to change.
Kirkpatrick Levels 1 and 2 – reaction and learning – are built into every course through end-of-module surveys and scored assessments aligned to your objectives. Levels 3 and 4, behaviour and business results, are designed on request using xAPI or cmi5 tracking and a business metric agreed during discovery.
Any LMS that supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, cmi5, or AICC – which covers effectively all commercial and open-source platforms. We test every course on your specific LMS before handover to confirm tracking, scoring, and playback behave correctly.
Project Timelines and Costs
A course with an intermediate level of interactivity is delivered in 5 to 7 weeks, depending on complexity, SME availability, and review turnaround.
Industry benchmarks put a low-interactivity course at roughly 70 to 100 development hours per finished hour, an intermediate build with branching and custom media at roughly 150 to 200, and full simulation well beyond that. We price per course rather than per hour, so those ratios sit behind our three build tiers instead of on your invoice – you carry no risk if a build takes longer than estimated.
We publish fixed pricing per course (30 to 60 minutes of seat time): Rapid Build $2,999, Professional Build $4,500, and Enterprise Build $7,500. Cost is driven by level of interactivity, multimedia requirements, and whether simulation is involved – not by hourly billing.
Five factors drive cost: course length or seat time, level of interactivity (click-through versus branching versus full simulation), multimedia requirements such as animation and avatar video, how ready your source content is, and localisation into additional languages. Our three build tiers map to those variables so you can see the price before scoping.
Following the first delivery, a revision cycle usually lasts 1 to 3 weeks, depending on stakeholder feedback and SME availability.
We upskill and reskill your workforce within a 5 to 7 week turnaround – mitigating risks through clear scoping, defined milestones, and built-in buffer time for SME schedules.
