eLearning Course Development Company That Builds Courses Worth Taking
If your team isn’t completing training — or worse, clicking through it just to finish — the problem isn’t your people. It’s the course.
IKHYA is a specialized eLearning course development company. We build custom eLearning courses that are engaging, SCORM-compliant, LMS-ready, and designed around how your learners actually think. Whether you’re onboarding new hires, rolling out compliance training, or building product knowledge at scale — we develop courses that deliver measurable outcomes, not just completions.
What We Build
As a dedicated eLearning course development company, IKHYA builds custom eLearning courses and digital training content for organizations that need more than a template-built module. Our courses are:
- Instructionally sound — built on learning science, not guesswork
- Visually polished — designed to reflect your brand, not a stock theme
- Technically reliable — SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI/Tin Can, and AICC compliant
- LMS-compatible — tested across Moodle, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, TalentLMS, Docebo, and more
- Device-agnostic — fully responsive for desktop, tablet, and mobile
We don't resell off-the-shelf content. Every course is built to your specific learning objectives, audience, and organizational context.
Who This Is For
IKHYA works with organizations that are past the "we'll figure it out in PowerPoint" stage and ready to invest in learning that actually works.
You're a fit if:
- You manage L&D for a mid-to-large organization and need a reliable development partner
- You're an HR or training manager with a backlog of courses that need to be built or rebuilt
- You're a training company that needs white-label eLearning developed at scale
- You're an operations leader rolling out compliance training with a hard deadline
- You're a startup scaling fast and need onboarding content that works without a full-time trainer
Problems We Solve
"Our courses exist but nobody finishes them." Completion rates under 60% usually point to poor instructional structure, no learner engagement hooks, or content that talks at people instead of working with them. We rebuild or redesign courses to change that. Learn more about our eLearning Course Redesigning Services.
"We built everything in-house but the quality isn't where it needs to be." Your subject matter experts know their content. They rarely know how to design for attention spans, cognitive load, or mobile screens. We translate SME knowledge into courses that land.
"Our previous vendor delivered late, over-budget, and missed the brief." We operate with a structured project management model — clear milestones, consistent communication, and no surprises at delivery.
"We need something SCORM-compliant that actually works in our LMS." We've worked with virtually every major LMS on the market. We build to spec, test before delivery, and fix if something breaks.

Our eLearning Development Process
IKHYA uses a structured, transparent development model. You always know what stage your project is at.
Step 1 — Discovery & Needs Analysis We start with a focused discovery call to understand your learning objectives, audience profile, existing content, LMS setup, and success metrics. No assumptions. No guesswork.
Step 2 — Storyboarding & Instructional Design Our instructional designers translate your source content and SME inputs into a detailed storyboard — covering narrative flow, screen-by-screen structure, interactions, and assessment design. You review and approve before development begins.
Step 3 — Visual Design & Prototyping We develop a design prototype (1–2 representative screens) based on your brand guidelines or a new visual concept we propose. You sign off on visual direction before we build out the full course.
Step 4 — Development Our development team builds the full course in your chosen authoring tool — incorporating all interactions, animations, audio, video, and assessments as storyboarded.
Step 5 — Review & Revision Cycles You receive the course via a staging link or LMS sandbox. We include two structured revision rounds as standard. Feedback is addressed systematically — no open-ended revision loops.
Step 6 — QA & LMS Testing We run full QA across browsers, devices, and your target LMS before final delivery — checking for SCORM compliance, tracking accuracy, completion logic, and visual consistency.
Step 7 — Delivery & Handover You receive the final published files in your required format, along with source files and a handover brief. Post-launch support is available on request.

Timeline & Pricing Factors
How long does it take to build a custom eLearning course?
A typical 30-minute custom eLearning course takes 4–6 weeks from kickoff to final delivery. Timelines vary based on:
- Course length and complexity (linear vs. branching)
- Volume of source content provided
- Number of media elements (animation, video, custom illustration)
- Review turnaround time on your end
- Revision depth
Microlearning modules (5–8 minutes) can be delivered in 2–3 weeks. Rush delivery is available for compliance deadlines.
What factors affect eLearning development cost?
| Factor | Lower Cost | Higher Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Course length | 10–15 minutes | 45–60 minutes |

Why IKHYA — Not Just Another eLearning Vendor
There are hundreds of eLearning development companies. Here is what makes IKHYA a different conversation.
We are specialists, not generalists. IKHYA focuses exclusively on eLearning and digital learning content development. If you're still defining your training strategy, our eLearning Consultancy Services can help you scope the right solution before development begins. We don't also build websites, run social media, or sell LMS platforms. This focus means our team's skill depth is higher than an agency that treats eLearning as one of ten service lines.
We work with your subject matter experts, not around them. Your SMEs know the content. Our instructional designers know how to structure it for learning. We run structured SME interviews and content extraction sessions so your internal knowledge becomes genuinely teachable.
We build to your LMS, not to a generic spec. We test every course in your specific LMS environment before delivery. SCORM compliance on paper is not the same as a course that actually tracks correctly in Cornerstone or SuccessFactors.
Our process reduces your workload, not adds to it. We use structured review templates, defined revision scopes, and a single point of contact on every project. You don't spend hours chasing updates or managing ten emails about one module.
Case Studies
Case Study 1 — Compliance Training Rollout for a Financial Services Firm
The Challenge: A mid-sized financial services company needed to train 2,400 employees across four countries on updated AML and KYC compliance regulations — within eight weeks of the regulation change.
What IKHYA Did: Developed 6 SCORM-compliant modules (approx. 25 minutes each) covering updated regulatory requirements, real-world case scenarios, and role-specific decision trees. All modules were localized into three languages and tested across the client's Cornerstone LMS.
Outcome: Full rollout completed in 7 weeks. Compliance assessment pass rate of 91% across all regions on first attempt. Zero LMS compatibility issues post-deployment.
Case Study 2 — Product Knowledge Training for a SaaS Company's Sales Team
The Challenge: A fast-growing SaaS company had a sales team of 180 reps across multiple geographies struggling with product knowledge gaps. Their existing training was a 90-slide PowerPoint deck that nobody read.
What IKHYA Did: Transformed the PowerPoint content into a 5-module, gamified eLearning program using scenario-based selling challenges, a leaderboard-driven completion system, and module-level knowledge checks. Developed in Articulate Storyline and deployed to TalentLMS.
Outcome: Average knowledge check scores improved by 34% versus the previous assessment. Course completion rate reached 94% within the first two weeks of launch. Sales team onboarding time reduced from 3 weeks to 11 days.
Case Study 3 — Safety Training Modernization for a Manufacturing Client
The Challenge: A manufacturing company had 14 safety training modules built in Adobe Flash — broken on all modern browsers, not mobile-compatible, and failing LMS tracking.
What IKHYA Did: Audited all 14 modules, rebuilt them in Articulate Rise with updated visuals, scenario-based hazard identification exercises, and mobile-first design. Integrated with the client's Moodle LMS and set up xAPI tracking.
Outcome: All 14 modules rebuilt and deployed in 10 weeks. Mobile completion rate increased from 0% (Flash was incompatible) to 38% of total completions. OSHA audit readiness improved with complete xAPI-based learner tracking records.
What Clients Say
"We had worked with two other eLearning vendors before IKHYA. The difference in communication and final quality was immediately clear. They asked the right questions from day one, delivered a prototype before full development, and the finished course looked nothing like the generic templates we'd seen before. Our employees actually commented on how good it looked." — Head of L&D, Healthcare Services Company
"IKHYA built 8 compliance modules for us under a tight regulatory deadline. Every single one was delivered on time. The SCORM worked perfectly in our LMS from the first upload. We didn't have to chase anyone or send follow-up emails twice. That alone made them stand out." — Senior HR Manager, Banking Sector Client
"What I appreciated most was that they pushed back when our storyboard content was too dense. They flagged it, suggested how to restructure one module for better retention, and explained why. That's the kind of instructional design expertise we needed — not just someone who builds what we tell them." — L&D Manager, Technology Company
