Why UK teams work with IKHYA
Experience with UK enterprise programmes
Our 500th project was a global onboarding programme for a FTSE 100 financial services company, localised into 12 languages. We have delivered more than 500 projects for clients in over 40 countries since 2010.
Courses that sound like your organisation
We write in UK English with UK spelling, dates and terms, and use British English voiceover, human or AI, when your learners expect it, so a course feels written for a UK workforce, not adapted from a US one.
Working hours that overlap with yours
Kick-off meetings, storyboard walk-throughs and review calls are scheduled within UK working hours (GMT or BST). Each review round ends with one consolidated set of comments from your team, so feedback stays clear and the timeline holds.
You own what we build
You receive the editable source files (for example Storyline or Captivate files), so your team or any future supplier can update the course when a policy or product changes.
UK rules your training may need to meet
Much UK workplace training exists because a law or regulator expects it. The rule rarely says "buy an eLearning course", but it does shape what a good course must do. Here is what the main rules say, and what that means when the course is designed.
Your compliance or legal team stays responsible for interpreting the rules for your organisation; we build the training around the requirements they confirm.
| Rule | What it asks of employers | What it means for course design |
|---|---|---|
| FCA Conduct Rules (COCON 2.3, FCA Handbook) | Firms must notify everyone subject to the Conduct Rules of the rules that apply to them and take all reasonable steps to make sure they understand how the rules apply to them, including suitable training. | Two layers: a broad awareness of all the rules for everyone, then deeper, role-specific practice on the rules relevant to each job. |
| FCA Consumer Duty (Principle 12) | "A firm must act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers." Under the Conduct Rules, staff in scope must also act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers. | Scenarios built on real customer situations, where learners choose what a good outcome looks like, not only recall a definition. |
| Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, section 2(2)(c) | Employers must provide the information, instruction, training and supervision necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of employees. | Training tied to the actual hazards, equipment and procedures on your sites, with checks that show who has completed it. |
| Equality Act 2010, section 40A (in force 26 October 2024) | An employer must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of its employees in the course of their employment. | Practical scenarios on recognising and reporting harassment and on what managers must do, refreshed as your policy changes. |
| Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 | Public sector bodies must make their websites and apps accessible; GOV.UK guidance points to WCAG 2.2 AA and says intranets and extranets are covered. | For public sector clients, plan accessibility from the storyboard: captions, keyboard access, colour contrast and screen-reader testing. |
What the FCA says good training looks like
The FCA publishes indicators for Conduct Rules training. They are a useful test for any compliance course, regulated or not:
Positive
- Training is interactive and uses realistic scenarios.
- Examples show how the rules apply to each type of role.
- Training is reinforced regularly and built into onboarding.
- Its effectiveness is assessed.
Negative
- Simple computer-based training only, with little attempt to tailor it to the role.
- A one-off exercise not built into onboarding.
- The rules presented as nothing new.
This is why our compliance eLearning starts from roles and real situations, then adds the assessment that shows whether the training worked. Accessibility is built in from the start: we build accessible courses to WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508, or WCAG 2.2 AA on request.

How to choose between eLearning companies in the UK
UK suppliers fall into three groups, and the right one depends on your project more than on a ranking. Ranking lists are a starting point; judge each supplier on the questions below.
A UK-based bespoke studio
A custom eLearning supplier with staff and offices in the UK.
- Easy face-to-face workshops and site visits
- Local sector knowledge
- Check capacity for large or multi-language rollouts, and compare scope and timeline, not only location
Projects that need regular in-person sessions with your experts.
An off-the-shelf library
Ready-made courses on common topics, licensed for your learners.
- Available quickly
- Good for generic topics everyone takes
- Content is the same for every customer, so it cannot reflect your policies, systems or roles
- The FCA lists generic training with little tailoring to role as a negative sign for Conduct Rules training
General awareness topics where your own procedures do not change the content.
A global custom eLearning developer (like IKHYA)
A custom developer that works with UK clients remotely, alongside clients in other countries.
- A team of 120+ specialists covering instructional design, development and translation into 40+ languages, from one supplier
- Check working-hour overlap, review process and who your day-to-day contact is
Custom compliance, onboarding and software training, especially for teams in the UK and abroad.
8 questions to ask any eLearning company
- Can we see a working demo course similar to our project?
- Who will work on our project, and who is our day-to-day contact?
- How many review rounds are included, and at which stages?
- Will we get a prototype before the full build?
- Which LMS have you published to, and will you test the course in ours?
- Which standards will you publish to (SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI)?
- Will we own the editable source files at the end?
- What exactly drives the price, and what would change it?

IKHYA and your LMS admin
We build courses that track in SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 and xAPI LMSs. LMS platforms we have delivered courses to include Moodle, TalentLMS, Docebo and Cornerstone, and we set up, configure and support these platforms too.
Other platforms used by UK organisations, such as Absorb, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday Learning, Canvas and Litmos, are tested in the same way: we test every course in your LMS before launch.
What drives the cost of a custom course?
Every project is quoted, because the same topic can be a 15-minute course or a full blended programme. These are the factors that move the price:
- Length: how many minutes of learning, and how many modules.
- Interactivity: from clear content with knowledge checks to branching scenarios and software simulations.
- Media: custom graphics, animation, video and voiceover (human or AI).
- Languages: each extra language adds translation, voiceover and testing.
- Authoring tool: for example Storyline, Rise or Captivate, depending on what you need to update later.
- Review rounds: how many rounds, and how many reviewers.
- LMS testing: how many platforms the course must run on.
For an accurate quote, send us
- Your source content (slides, documents, existing courses).
- The audience and roughly how many learners.
- The languages you need.
- Your LMS and the standard it uses (SCORM or xAPI).
- Your target launch date.
A UK project in practice
B2B SaaS, UK
Sales onboarding for about 60 new reps a quarter: product knowledge from 62% to 91%, first deal 17 days sooner
A UK B2B SaaS company with sales teams in the UK and Ireland onboarded new reps with product decks and about 15 working days of shadowing. Reps told the product story differently and managers lost selling time.
- What we built
- A blended programme in Storyline 360 (SCORM 2004): 6 software simulations, 3 objection-handling branching scenarios, 8 microlearning lessons and a ready-to-sell assessment, plus a facilitator guide for 4 live virtual sessions. All 6 simulations share one template, so the client's team updates them after each product release.
- Results
- Assessment average at the end of week 2: 62% to 91% (first group of 58 reps vs the previous quarter's 55)
- Median days to first closed deal: 64 to 47
- Shadowing: 15 to 8 working days
- About the results
- Results from one quarter and 58 reps; territory, seasonality and deal size also affect time to close, and the client is tracking the next two groups.
"We used to hand new reps a stack of decks and hope their manager had time. Now every rep tells the same product story, has practised the hard objections, and we can see who is ready before they talk to a customer. The review rounds were quick and clear."
