Workplace learning, built from what you already have.

We start with a conversation about your learners, goals, source material and launch date. We review the content, agree the learning objectives and prepare a screen-by-screen storyboard before development. We then design, build, test and hand over the module. Three review rounds cover the storyboard and script, design and early module, and near-final module. We stay flexible, and agree any extra work before the project grows or changes.

We can work from Word documents, policies and procedures, PowerPoint presentations, existing training materials, PDFs, videos, company websites, internal resources, and interviews or workshops with subject matter experts. You do not need a perfect script first—we can shape the material from the documents and knowledge you already have.

Options include professional voiceover with Australian voice artists, AI-generated voices, presenters or avatars, professionally filmed presenters, animation, animated characters, workplace scenarios, licensed stock footage, interactive video, screen recordings, software demonstrations, captions and subtitles. We recommend the mix that best suits the learning and budget; specialist production and licences are priced as part of the agreed scope.

We can include short knowledge checks, multiple-choice questions, realistic workplace scenarios, ‘What would you do?’ decisions, branching paths, drag-and-drop activities, simulations, guided practice and a final assessment. Feedback, pass marks, retries and completion rules are agreed with you. Final tracking depends on the learner’s LMS.

Yes. We can prepare the course for your existing LMS, or recommend a suitable platform and scope setup, configuration, migration, administration and reporting. LMS subscriptions are not included in course development pricing. Standard SCORM packages have no Buddy per-user fee.

We can provide SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, fourth edition. We test the package before handover and can also check it in your LMS when you provide access and a test account. xAPI or other tracking needs can be discussed where useful.

Once the project is paid in full, we provide the finished course and the project files listed in the agreed scope. These may include the module, SCORM package, approved scripts and storyboards, agreed Rise or Storyline files, included graphics, video and audio, and other agreed editable files. Editing may require the appropriate software. Stock media, fonts and other third-party items retain their original licence terms, which we clarify before work begins.

Yes. We can update a course when a policy or procedure changes. We review the change and confirm the cost first. Our current guide for smaller updates is $199 + GST per hour with a one-hour minimum, or a 10-hour update pack for $1,990 + GST. Larger changes, new activities, filming or substantial rebuilds may need a separate quote. If your team has the editable files and required software, you can also make minor changes yourselves and we can show you how.

Essential starts at $99 per learning minute, Professional at $299, and Premium Custom at $699. For an illustrative 20-minute module: Essential is $1,980 + GST ($2,178 including GST); Professional is $5,980 + GST ($6,578 including GST); and Premium Custom is from $13,980 + GST (from $15,378 including GST). Around 100 approved script words equals one learning minute. We review the material and confirm a fixed price before development; filming, talent, licensed media, translation and LMS services are separately priced where required.

Typical timeframes are 2–4 weeks for a straightforward Rise module, 4–6 weeks for a more interactive Storyline module, and 6–8+ weeks for a video-, animation- or custom-heavy module. Timing depends on materials, media, feedback and approvals. Share your target date early and we can check availability or discuss a phased approach.

Buddy’s public work includes QFD compliance awareness and flexible-work learning, and Ace Strata course-library work. Our tender experience includes Queensland local-government induction content. Our core team brings Nissan learning experience dating from 2019 across more than 50 projects. We also created a Triple Zero Victoria interactive RFI proof of concept, which was a tender demonstration rather than a contracted rollout. Relevant examples can be shared where permissions allow.

Usually: a short initial briefing, existing documents or training materials, one contact who can gather feedback, access to subject matter experts or policy owners, brand and LMS requirements, feedback at the three review points, and final approval. We can interview your experts or run a workshop, while Buddy leads content shaping, storyboarding, design and development.

Yes. We can tailor the logo and colours, fonts and visual style, tone of voice, images and workplace setting, and existing training and LMS branding. We follow your brand guidelines and use examples that feel familiar to your people and workplace.

We can include captions, subtitles, transcripts where useful, alt text for meaningful images, clear headings and instructions, readable text, suitable colour contrast, keyboard-friendly navigation, and screen-reader-aware design where the course software supports it. We work towards WCAG 2.1 AA practices; exact features depend on the format and LMS. A formal independent accessibility audit can be scoped separately.
