What We Do

IKHYA helps UAE organizations — from enterprise corporations to government entities — translate complex knowledge into learning experiences that actually stick.

Our work covers every stage of the eLearning lifecycle:

  • Instructional design and learning strategy
  • Custom course development using leading authoring tools
  • Conversion of PowerPoint decks, ILT programs, and legacy content into interactive digital modules
  • Arabic and multilingual localization
  • LMS integration and deployment support
  • Accessibility-compliant eLearning for inclusive workforces

The result is training that your employees complete, retain, and apply — and that your L&D team can track, measure, and scale.


eLearning Services We Offer in UAE

1. Custom eLearning Development

We build bespoke learning modules from the ground up. Every course is designed around your learning objectives, your brand identity, and your audience. No recycled templates. No filler content.

Custom eLearning is ideal when you need:

  • Onboarding programs for new hires
  • Product or service training for sales teams
  • Safety and compliance modules with scenario-based learning
  • Leadership development programs for mid-to-senior management

2. Rapid eLearning Development

When timelines are tight, IKHYA's rapid development service delivers SCORM-compliant, interactive modules quickly — without sacrificing quality. We use authoring tools like Articulate Rise and iSpring to accelerate production while maintaining instructional integrity.

3. PPT to eLearning Conversion

Your PowerPoint decks contain valuable knowledge. We transform static slides into engaging, interactive eLearning modules with animations, assessments, branching scenarios, and narration — fully compatible with any LMS.

This service is one of the most requested by UAE organizations looking to modernize legacy training materials without starting from zero. Read our complete guide on how to convert PowerPoint to eLearning to understand what the process looks like from start to finish.

4. ILT to eLearning Conversion

Taking classroom-based training and converting it into scalable digital learning requires more than just recording a video. We analyze your existing instructor materials, restructure the learning flow for self-paced consumption, and rebuild it as an interactive online course — preserving the human knowledge while making it infinitely scalable.

5. eLearning Translation & Arabic Localization

UAE organizations operate in both English and Arabic. Most global eLearning vendors do not handle Arabic localization properly — resulting in poorly formatted right-to-left text, cultural misalignment, and audio that sounds unnatural to native speakers.

IKHYA provides end-to-end Arabic localization:

  • Native Arabic instructional design
  • Right-to-left (RTL) interface formatting
  • Professional Arabic voiceover
  • Culturally adapted visuals and scenarios

6. Instructional Design Services

Great eLearning starts with a great learning design. Our instructional designers analyze your content, define learning outcomes, structure the learning journey, and write scripts that drive retention — not just completion.

7. Microlearning Development

Short, targeted learning modules (3–7 minutes) that address a single concept, skill, or compliance requirement. Microlearning is particularly effective for refresher training, just-in-time support, and mobile-first workforces.

8. Simulation-Based Training

For high-stakes skills — sales conversations, equipment operation, safety procedures — simulation-based modules allow learners to practice in a consequence-free environment before applying those skills on the job.

9. Accessible eLearning Solutions

IKHYA builds WCAG-compliant, accessible eLearning that serves learners with visual, auditory, or motor impairments. Essential for public sector clients and organizations with global compliance obligations.

How We Work — Our Development Process

IKHYA follows a structured, collaborative process so every project delivers on time, on brief, and on budget.

Step 1 — Discovery & Needs Analysis We start by understanding your learning objectives, target audience, existing content, LMS environment, and timelines. This session shapes everything that follows.

Step 2 — Instructional Design & Storyboarding Our instructional designers structure the course, define learning outcomes, and produce a detailed storyboard. You review and approve before a single screen is built.

Step 3 — Development Our development team builds the course in your chosen authoring tool. All media — voiceover, animation, graphics, scenarios — is produced in-house.

Step 4 — Quality Assurance Every module goes through a rigorous QA process: content accuracy, interactivity testing, LMS compatibility checks, accessibility review, and language review (including Arabic where applicable).

Step 5 — Review & Revision You receive the course for review. We incorporate feedback through structured revision rounds — no surprise charges for reasonable scope changes.

Step 6 — Delivery & Deployment Support We deliver the final SCORM/xAPI package and provide LMS upload support. We can also coordinate directly with your LMS administrator.


Why Choose IKHYA Over Other eLearning Companies in UAE

The UAE has a small number of eLearning companies, and an even smaller number that truly understand the GCC learning landscape. Here is what makes IKHYA different:

Local Market Expertise: We understand UAE workplace culture, Arabic language nuance, regulatory requirements, and the specific expectations of GCC learners. Our content doesn't feel imported — it feels built for your people.

Full-Spectrum Capability: From a single course conversion to a complete learning ecosystem — we cover instructional design, development, Arabic localization, accessibility, and LMS support under one roof.

Authoring Tool Proficiency Across 7+ Platforms: Most eLearning vendors are locked into one or two tools. IKHYA is platform-agnostic and selects the right tool for each project based on your requirements. Explore our full eLearning authoring tool capabilities to see how we match tools to outcomes.

No Freelancer Risk: Every project is handled by IKHYA's in-house team — not outsourced to freelancers. This means consistent quality, reliable timelines, and a single accountable point of contact. Not sure whether to outsource or build in-house? Read our breakdown: In-House vs Outsourced eLearning Development — Cost Comparison.

Transparent Process, Structured Revisions: You always know where your project stands. We don't disappear for weeks and reappear with a finished course — we involve you at every stage.

Competitive, Scalable Pricing: IKHYA serves organizations of all sizes — from growing SMEs to large enterprises. Our pricing is structured around your actual scope, not padded agency rates.

Case Studies

Case Study 1 — Compliance Training Digitization for a UAE Financial Institution

Challenge: A mid-sized bank in Dubai was conducting all AML and regulatory compliance training in classroom sessions across multiple branches. Training completion rates were inconsistent, and auditors flagged gaps in recorded compliance.

Solution: IKHYA designed and developed a suite of six SCORM-compliant eLearning modules covering AML procedures, KYC requirements, and data privacy regulations. Modules were built in Articulate Storyline with scenario-based assessments and a final certification quiz per module.

Result: Training completion rates rose significantly. All completion data was tracked through the bank's existing LMS, and the modules were reused for subsequent annual compliance cycles — eliminating repeat classroom costs.

Case Study 2 — ILT to eLearning Conversion for a Government Entity in Abu Dhabi

Challenge: A federal government department had an extensive library of instructor-led training programs delivered over 3–5 day residential workshops. With increasing workforce size and distributed offices, the logistics of in-person training became unsustainable.

Solution: IKHYA converted 12 instructor-led programs into self-paced eLearning modules in both Arabic and English using our ILT to eLearning conversion service. Each program was restructured for digital consumption, with knowledge checks, scenario-based exercises, and video explainers replacing extended lecture content.

Result: Employees across all emirates completed the required programs at their own pace. The government entity reduced per-employee training cost and eliminated scheduling bottlenecks entirely.

Case Study 3 — Safety Training for an Oil & Gas Operator in the UAE

Challenge: An oil and gas company needed to ensure that all field-based employees — including contractors with varying education levels — completed mandatory HSE training before deployment. Language barriers and inconsistent training quality were recurring problems.

Solution: IKHYA developed a series of bilingual (Arabic/English) simulation-based safety training modules using Adobe Captivate. Modules included realistic virtual site walkthroughs, hazard identification scenarios, and emergency response simulations. Voiceover was recorded in both languages with dialect-appropriate pronunciation for Gulf-region Arabic.

Result: Consistent training delivery across all sites and contractor populations. The modules are now a standard part of the onboarding program for all new site personnel.
