Expert Adobe Captivate Development — Built for Corporate Training
Adobe Captivate is the go-to authoring tool for organisations that need pixel-perfect software simulations, advanced interactivity, and courses that look great on every device. But it has a steep learning curve — and that's exactly where IKHYA comes in.
Our team of dedicated Captivate developers has spent years mastering every version of the tool — from Captivate Classic to the all-new Captivate 12.x platform. We understand how to get the most out of its fluid boxes, advanced actions, variables, and AI-powered features so your courses stand out and perform.
"We don't just publish slides. We design learning experiences that change behaviour — using Captivate's full capability stack."
Whether you need a single compliance module, a complete learning programme, or a migration of legacy Flash-based courses, we scope, design, build, test, and deliver — ready to upload to your LMS.

Learn moreWhat Adobe Captivate Can Do — And How We Use It
Captivate 12.x is one of the most powerful authoring tools available. Here's what makes it unique — and why experienced developers matter.Advanced Actions & Variables
Conditional logic, user variables, and complex branching let us build truly adaptive learning paths — quizzes that respond to learner history, personalised feedback, and scenario trees.
Fluid Boxes for Responsive Design
Captivate's fluid box system lets content reflow naturally across screen sizes. We design mobile-first so your course looks polished on a phone, tablet, and widescreen — without a second build.
AI-Powered Features (Captivate 12.x)
The new Captivate integrates generative AI for content suggestions, image editing, and voice synthesis. We leverage these tools to speed up production without sacrificing quality.
Interactive Video & Demo Recording
Overlay clickable hotspots, quizzes, and captions directly onto video content. Add step-by-step screen recording with automatic captions and highlight boxes.
Accessibility-First Development
We configure tab order, ARIA landmarks, screen-reader–friendly text alternatives, and closed captions at every slide, block, and component level for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.
Deep LMS & xAPI Integration
Beyond simple course completion — we configure xAPI statements that capture granular learner data: time on task, branching paths chosen, quiz attempts, and more.

An international manufacturer had 60+ legacy Flash courses. We migrated every course to modern HTML5 Captivate, preserving all interactions and branching logic.
AML & Compliance Programme for 5,000 Employees
A leading bank required a scenario-based AML training programme for front-line and back-office staff across 12 countries, in 8 languages.
Every project starts with a thorough brief and a clear proposal — no surprises, no scope creep.
Trusted by L&D Teams Worldwide
Real feedback from real clients who trusted us with their Adobe Captivate projects.The IKHYA team turned our messy PowerPoint decks and screen recordings into a polished 8-module software simulation programme. The level of detail in the Captivate work was outstanding — every interaction felt intentional.
We had 50+ Flash courses that needed migrating urgently. IKHYA handled the whole project seamlessly — preserved all our branching scenarios, and delivered on time. Their QA process is exceptionally thorough.
Multilingual Captivate development is notoriously difficult. IKHYA handled 8 languages including Arabic with RTL layout perfectly. The courses passed our internal accessibility audit without a single change needed.

Read the guideFrequently Asked Questions About Adobe Captivate Development
Answers to the most common questions from L&D teams considering Captivate development services.We build software simulations, compliance modules, scenario-based courses, VR/360° experiences, responsive HTML5 courses, interactive videos, quizzes, and PowerPoint-to-eLearning conversions — all in Adobe Captivate. The right format depends on your audience, content type, and learning objectives — we'll advise on the best approach during scoping.
Yes. We build fully responsive HTML5 courses that adapt to desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Adobe Captivate's fluid boxes and device-preview tools let us fine-tune layouts for every screen size. Every course we deliver is tested on iOS and Android before handover — at no extra cost.
A standard 30-minute eLearning module typically takes 4–6 weeks from brief to final delivery. Timelines depend on complexity, number of simulations, number of review cycles, and whether translation is required. We always provide a detailed project schedule with your proposal so you can plan your rollout accurately.
Yes. We specialise in legacy course migration — from Flash, Captivate Classic (v9–v11), and other outdated formats to modern HTML5 output. We retain your existing content, branding, and assessments while making courses fully future-proof and mobile-ready. For large portfolios, we offer batch-migration programmes with significant cost efficiencies.
Absolutely. We publish courses in SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI (Tin Can), and AICC formats so they work with any major LMS including Moodle, Cornerstone, Docebo, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday Learning, and hundreds more. We test tracking in your actual LMS environment before final delivery.
Yes — software simulation is one of Captivate's strongest features. We record your application workflows and produce three-mode simulations: See It (demo), Try It (guided practice), and Test It (unguided assessment). This is ideal for ERP, CRM, and IT onboarding training. We can also build branching simulations that mimic real system environments without live-system access for learners.
Adobe Captivate supports WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 accessibility standards. We configure proper reading order, alt text, keyboard navigation, closed captions, and colour contrast so your courses are accessible to all learners. Accessibility is built in from the start — not retrofitted at the end — which saves time and avoids rework.
Yes. We provide end-to-end multilingual Captivate development — from source course creation to professional translation, voice-over recording, and re-publishing in 30+ languages. We also handle right-to-left (Arabic, Hebrew) text layouts and cultural localisation. Learn more about our translation services.
Pricing depends on course length, interactivity level, and whether simulations or custom animations are required. Entry-level modules start from around $1,500–$3,000 for a 15-minute course. Complex simulation programmes are priced by scope. We always provide a detailed, itemised quote after reviewing your brief — no hidden costs, no surprises. Request a quote here.
A project brief or outline, your existing content (PPT, Word docs, PDFs, or ILT materials), brand guidelines, and access to the software or process you'd like us to simulate.
