Training people don't skip.

SAFi Design builds digital learning for teams who need people competent fast. Courses, video, certification programmes and the platforms they run on, designed around what people have to do, not what the deck says.

What we do

Five services. One team that actually builds the thing.

01

eLearning build

Courses designed around observable outcomes, then written, built, tested and packaged for your LMS.

  • Objectives and outline signed off first
  • Storyboard, then alpha and beta review
  • Scenarios, simulations, knowledge checks
  • SCORM or xAPI packaging and tracking test

02

Content & video

Short-form video and job aids that carry the load between formal courses.

  • Scripting and storyboarding
  • Screencasts, micro-video, motion graphics
  • Captions, transcripts and localisation
  • One-pagers and quick reference guides

03

AI in learning

AI used where it genuinely speeds things up, with a designer signing off every output.

  • AI-assisted drafting and question banks
  • Conversational practice and roleplay
  • Adaptive paths driven by assessment data
  • Translation and voice at scale

04

Development

When the authoring tool runs out of road, we build it properly. Custom front-end work, platform configuration and the data plumbing that makes learning measurable.

  • Learning portals and custom course players
  • LMS setup, theming and integration
  • xAPI statements, LRS and reporting dashboards
  • Interactive simulations beyond off-the-shelf templates

05

Certification programmes

Structured, assessed learning that ends in a credential your organisation can stand behind, plus evidence you can hand an auditor.

  • Assessment design, pass marks and attempt rules
  • Certificates with expiry and recertification
  • CPD-aligned programme structures
  • Completion records and audit trails

Featured project · sales negotiation

Click through a real episode, scene by scene.

A negotiation skills series for a commercial sales team. Every scene below is from the finished build. We work under NDA as standard, so the client and the account names in the scenario have been changed. The design has not.

Sales capability · video playlists

Playlists that replaced the annual sales workshop

Three linked video playlists covering hybrid remote selling, face-to-face social selling and continuing professional development. Built to be watched on a phone between calls, then reinforced by a short drill the same day.

  • Scripted, shot and edited end to end
  • Consistent scene components across series
  • Distributed through the existing LMS
  • Designed for repeat viewing, not one-time completion

Format: roughly two minutes per episode, one behaviour per episode, a drill attached to each.

SaaS scale-up · onboarding & measurement

New-starter onboarding you can actually score

A cohort-based onboarding programme for commercial hires, paired with a competency framework that turns “are they any good yet?” into a number. Plus a train-the-trainer track so in-house trainers could run it without us.

  • Structured multi-week cohort programme
  • Skill-gap analysis and benchmarking framework
  • Weekly cohort review reporting pack
  • Train-the-trainer handover to internal staff

Built to hand over: the client's own trainers now run the programme and update the materials themselves.

Capability demo

System training, without the screenshot deck.

Software rollouts fail on the small habits, not the big features. Hotspot walkthroughs put the guidance on the screen the user is actually looking at. Find all five below.

  • Built as a sample to show the format, not for a named client
  • Same pattern works for any system: finance, rota, booking, EPOS
  • Ships as SCORM or xAPI, tracked like any other module

AI & development

AI where it earns its place. Engineers where it doesn't.

Our position: AI is very good at first drafts, variations and volume. It is not good at knowing what your people get wrong on a Tuesday. A designer scopes the work and signs off everything before it ships.

AI-assisted production

First-draft scripts, distractor sets for multiple choice, and alternate scenario branches generated fast, then edited by a human before anyone sees them.

Conversational practice

Roleplay partners for sales calls, service recovery and difficult conversations, scored against the same criteria your managers coach to.

Adaptive paths

Assessment data routes learners past what they already know. Less time in the course, more time on the gap.

Custom development

Learning portals, bespoke course players, LMS integration and xAPI reporting pipelines when off-the-shelf tools cannot do the job.

Certification

Programmes that end in a credential, not just a completion tick.

01

Assessment design

Question banks mapped to objectives, defensible pass marks, attempt limits and randomised delivery.

02

Certificates & renewal

Issued on pass, with expiry dates, renewal reminders and a recertification path built in from the start.

03

CPD-aligned structure

Programmes structured in CPD hours so learners can log the time against professional requirements.

04

Audit-ready records

Completion data, scores and timestamps held in your LMS or LRS, exportable when someone asks for evidence.

How we work

Four stages. You sign off at every one.

01

Scope

A call, then a short scoping note: who the audience is, what they should be able to do afterwards, how it gets measured, and what it costs. Fixed price agreed before work starts.

02

Design

Objectives, outline and storyboard. This is where the arguments happen, on a document that takes an hour to change, not in a build that takes a week.

03

Build

Alpha for content accuracy, beta for polish and functionality. Two review rounds included, feedback collected in one place rather than fifteen separate emails.

04

Handover

Packaged, uploaded, tested on your LMS and confirmed tracking. You keep the editable source files and a short guide to updating them yourself.

Who we are

A team built around the work, not around the account.

SAFi Design is a team of learning and development specialists, instructional designers and creatives. We run as an online agency, so you deal with the people building your course rather than a layer of account management between you and them.

01

L&D specialists

People who have run onboarding, sales capability and compliance programmes inside businesses, not just designed them from outside.

02

Instructional designers

Objectives, assessment and structure. The part that decides whether a course changes behaviour or just fills an hour.

03

Creatives

Writers, video editors and motion designers who make the finished thing worth watching on a phone between meetings.

04

How we run

Fixed price agreed before work starts, two review rounds included, and the editable source files handed over at the end.
