Curriculum design services for teams that cannot afford to build the wrong thing

Curriculum design services cover the planning work that happens before training content is developed. This includes analysing what skills a workforce needs, mapping current capability against that requirement, structuring programmes and courses into a coherent architecture, writing assessable learning objectives, and defining how results will be measured. The output is a set of specification documents, not finished courseware.

Curriculum design decides what should be built and in what order. Course development builds it. Design produces curriculum maps, objectives, competency frameworks and measurement plans. Development produces decks, facilitator guides, labs and eLearning modules. Running design first usually reduces development cost, because it prevents duplicated modules and courses scoped longer than the actual gap requires.

A single-programme engagement usually runs six to ten weeks from discovery to handoff. A curriculum diagnostic on existing courseware can be completed in two to three weeks. Multi-business-unit architecture covering several roles and programmes typically runs twelve weeks or longer. Timelines are confirmed at the scoping call.

No. Every engagement ends with a build brief written to be handed to any developer, including your internal team or another vendor. The brief is specified precisely enough for a third party to quote against it.

Yes, and it is often the cheaper path. A curriculum diagnostic audits existing courseware against current business requirements, identifies overlap and gaps, and returns a prioritised list of what to keep, revise, retire and build. Many teams find that most of the content they need already exists in the wrong structure.

We design the measurement plan during the engagement, not after delivery. That means capturing the baseline before training starts, and specifying Level 3 behavioural indicators and Level 4 business metrics alongside completion and assessment data. Without a pre-training baseline, impact cannot be demonstrated later.
