SharePoint learning hubs at a glance.
A designed home for learning inside your own SharePoint, with pages, resources and links people find at the point of need.
Learning and development (L&D), HR, comms and project teams whose people already work in SharePoint and Teams.
Designed pages built in your tenant, templates for new pages and training for the people who keep it current.
Bigger hubs with more pages take longer. Changes after launch are much quicker.
For discovery, the base structure and design options. Extra pages from $2,000.
Hub foundations from $9,500.
Every hub starts with the same foundations. We use the ADDIE model (analyse, design, develop, implement and evaluate) to learn who the hub is for and what they need to find. Then we set up the base structure and give you design options to choose from. After that, you add the pages your people need, and we give you a fixed quote before anything goes in the oven.

SharePoint learning hub examples.
Your people need answers
where they work.
These are the jobs that bring people to us. Each link shows one we have built.
- Give a new quality system one home that project teams can find, like the Capital Portfolio QMS Hub we built for Perth Airport.
- Keep learning going after the course ends, like the Disability Access & Inclusion Learning Hub for City of Adelaide.
- Put software tutorials and FAQs in one place for project managers, like the hub we launched for Horizon Power.
- Give staff one place for every part of a large induction program, like the SharePoint home we built for a state corrections agency.
- Show everyone who creates learning the process to follow and the templates to use, like our SharePoint learning page for Mineral Technologies.
Can SharePoint replace an LMS?
SharePoint can often replace an LMS. Your people may need to find and use information more than you need a record of who finished a course. If so, a SharePoint learning hub can do the job of an LMS for staff who already work in Microsoft 365.
SharePoint wasn’t built as a learning management system. On its own it doesn’t run SCORM courses, record completions or keep scores. The question to ask is who will want completion records, and why. If the answer is “nobody”, a hub is usually the faster, cheaper and friendlier route.
For the full decision, read our guide Can SharePoint be used as an LMS?
When a SharePoint learning hub is the better fit.
Help at the point of need.
Easy to update.
Already paid for.
Ideal when you don’t need to track.
The login they already have.
One source of truth.
When you still need an LMS.
A hub is the wrong tool when you have to prove who completed what. Choose an LMS when:
- The training is mandatory or regulated and an auditor may ask for records, as with most compliance training.
- You need SCORM or xAPI courses to report scores and completions.
- You train people outside your Microsoft 365 tenant, such as customers, members or contractors, which our online course packages are built for.
- You issue certificates or microcredentials.
- You sell courses.
You can also run both. The LMS proves completion and the hub carries the day-to-day support. City of Adelaide’s eLearning integrates with its SuccessFactors LMS, while the hub holds the resources staff come back to.

“Sometimes people pay for an LMS with built-in authoring tools and a lot of functionality that is just rarely used.”

What we build in SharePoint.
Every hub is made to order. Pick the kind that suits your people, or let us combine a few. Each card shows a client build or a pattern we use.
The difference is in the design.
Pages built for the moment someone gets stuck.
Answers in a few clicks.
Built with what SharePoint does well.
An owner for every page.
One look across course and hub.
Accessible to WCAG 2.2 AA.
From empty site to busy hub.
If you already have a site, we start by auditing what’s there and what should go. If you have a folder of files and a good idea, we start with the site map.

Works with the Microsoft 365 you already have.
We design around the licences and settings in your tenant, and we tell you early if something needs an extra licence.
SharePoint pages and hub sites.
The home for your hub, with navigation, news, quick links, document libraries and embedded video.
Microsoft Teams.
Pin the hub as a tab in Teams, so people reach it from the place they chat and meet.
Viva Learning.
Viva Learning can list content from a SharePoint library beside courses from your LMS and other providers. Managers can see the reported completion status of content they recommend.
Copilot agents.
An agent in SharePoint can answer staff questions from the pages and files in your hub.
Not sure what your tenant can do?
Book a call and we’ll look at what you already have before you spend anything.
We can add optional extras, including eLearning, training videos and job aids. We can also run a learning campaign to launch the hub, and handle LMS setup for the training you do need to track.

The Goldilocks team.
Big enough to do it. Small enough to nail it.
Our learning strategists and learning designers design every SharePoint hub, and our developers build it with them. Our core team of 14 works with more than 20 consultants, so we can put together the right crew for your hub.
A small hub can launch in as little as 2 weeks. A hub with many topic pages, new writing or linked eLearning takes longer, and we give you a timeline with your quote.
Once the hub is live, updates are much quicker, depending on how complex they are.
Yes, for learning. We design and build SharePoint learning hubs, training portals, onboarding sites and knowledge hubs, using standard pages and web parts your team can maintain. We work with your IT team on site set-up, permissions and governance.
For custom SharePoint development services such as migrations, workflows or code, we work alongside your IT team or development partner. We’re SharePoint consultants with team members in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, and we build hubs for organisations across Australia, including Adelaide.
Yes, if your organisation has the licences. Agents in SharePoint can answer from your sites, based on what each person is allowed to see. They need a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence or pay-as-you-go billing.
The better your hub is organised, the better the answers. We can structure your hub so an agent has clean content to answer from. Read more in our guide Can SharePoint be used as an LMS? and our article on AI in learning design.
