Surprisingly good learning design.
We design learning people lean into, from compliance to culture change. Whether you need a eLearning, a single course or a full learning strategy, Hungry Minds has you covered.
The problem we solve.
Most learning experiences are forgettable. Yours doesn’t have to be.
Tick-the-box training doesn’t change behaviour. And it definitely doesn’t move your organisation forward. We design learning that’s practical, sticky, and actually shifts what people do.

Instructional design is the craft of creating educational programs that make learning efficient, effective and appealing. It’s a blend of art and science, where we analyse learners’ needs, design a structured learning path, and use strategies that enhance understanding and retention. Essentially, it’s the behind-the-scenes work that ensures the learning experience is impactful.
Instructional Designers are educational strategists who assess learning needs to design targeted instruction. They apply theories from educational psychology to develop compelling courses, working with subject matter experts and using the latest tech. Their toolkit includes creating diverse learning materials like online courses, videos and assessments. They also evaluate training effectiveness, ensuring that each course not only educates but resonates with learners.
Whether called Learning Designers or eLearning Developers, they’re the masterminds behind effective and engaging education.

Throughout the development process, stakeholders are engaged in multiple review cycles, providing feedback for refinements.

For projects involving accredited training, we bring in external AQTF experts to review the course content and mapping, confirming compliance with accreditation standards.
This comprehensive approach ensures our materials meet the highest standards of quality and effectiveness.
