Digital learning FAQs

Straight answers

Useful detail before you invest in digital learning.

These are the questions organisations tend to ask when comparing a course build, consultancy, platform support or a managed academy. If your situation is different, send us a short message and we will give you a direct answer.

Choosing the right route

Start with the need, not the format.

The best solution may be a bespoke module, a focused content refresh, a reusable template, consultancy or a managed learning environment.

Neon helps organisations plan, create and run effective digital learning. That can mean a bespoke Storyline or Rise module, transforming approved PDFs and presentations, creating a branded template for an internal team, reviewing learning strategy or LMS options, launching a managed private academy, or delivering the Neon AI Ready implementation. We recommend the lightest solution that will achieve the outcome.

Not necessarily. If you have approved source material, subject-matter experts, policies or existing training, we can turn that knowledge into a clear learning structure. If the content is still unclear, we can begin with discovery and consultancy to define the audience, outcomes and gaps before development. Your organisation remains responsible for approving the subject matter.

Yes. We can review existing modules, templates and source files, then focus effort where it will make the greatest difference—such as structure, visual design, interaction, assessment, accessibility or mobile usability. If a refresh would cost more than a sensible rebuild, we will explain why before recommending it.

Yes. Neon can provide practical coaching, branded authoring templates, content standards, review checklists and production workflows. We can also build the first module alongside your team, then hand over a repeatable approach they can use confidently without permanent agency dependence.

Scope, delivery and commercials

Clear expectations before production starts.

A defined scope, visible review points and a practical handover keep projects moving and protect both quality and budget.

Most projects move through discovery and scope, a representative design or prototype, development, consolidated review rounds, quality assurance, LMS testing and launch or handover. You receive a clear delivery plan and work directly with the person doing the thinking and building. Academy projects also include platform configuration, learner setup and reporting arrangements.

Timescale depends on content readiness, length, interaction, media, technical requirements and how quickly feedback can be consolidated. A focused conversion or short module can move quickly; a larger programme or academy is usually phased. We confirm a realistic schedule after scoping. Neon AI Ready has a defined route that can launch in as little as 14 working days when its scope and feedback conditions are met.

We normally agree a clear scope and fixed price before work begins. Price is shaped by content volume and readiness, interaction, media, assessment, accessibility, platform requirements and the review process. Defined packages provide useful starting points. For managed academies, setup and content production are separated from recurring platform, administration and support costs. Material new content, features or changes in direction are quoted before additional work starts.

The quotation sets out the review process; two consolidated review rounds are typical for a defined course build. We ask you to nominate the right stakeholders and combine their comments into one agreed response. Corrections and refinements within scope are included. New content, a changed brief or additional functionality is treated as a scope change rather than hidden inside the review cycle.

The quotation makes ownership and handover explicit. For most bespoke projects, your organisation owns the agreed bespoke deliverables after full payment, with SCORM packages and source files supplied where included in scope. Third-party software, fonts, stock media and licensed assets remain subject to their own licence terms. In a managed academy, your content remains yours while the platform and ongoing service operate under the agreed hosting and support arrangement.

Platforms and managed academies

Use your LMS—or let Neon manage the environment.

Content, platform and administration should work together. We can support an existing learning system or provide a focused private academy.

No. If you already have an LMS, we can prepare and test content for it, including SCORM where required. If you do not have a suitable platform—or do not want the administration burden—we can scope a managed private academy. We can also review your requirements before you commit to a new LMS or licence.

Neon works regularly with Articulate Storyline, Rise 360, Adobe Captivate, SCORM packages and a range of LMS environments. LearnWorlds is used for managed academy delivery where it fits the requirement. We confirm tracking, browser, device, accessibility and publishing requirements during scope; SSO, integrations and specialist reporting are assessed separately rather than assumed.

Yes. A managed academy gives your organisation a branded, invitation-only learning environment without needing to buy, configure and operate a full LMS alone. It can support employee onboarding, compliance learning, customer or partner education, and multi-course programmes. Neon can manage the platform setup, content, learner enrolment, reporting, updates and an agreed level of ongoing support.

The service can combine academy structure and branding, course creation or migration, learner setup and communications, completion reporting, platform administration, content updates and a regular review cycle. We separate the initial academy and content build from recurring platform, administration and support costs so the ongoing commitment is clear. SSO, integrations, delegated reporting and multi-organisation delivery are added only when the business case requires them.

No. NeonCourseHub.com is a public catalogue of affordable, self-paced courses for individual learners. A client academy is a separate, private and branded environment built around one organisation's audience, content and reporting needs. Learners are invited into the client experience and are not sent through the public consumer catalogue.

Responsible AI use

A managed implementation, not another generic course.

Neon AI Ready connects learning to the tools, rules, roles and evidence that matter inside a growing organisation.

Neon AI Ready starts with how your team is actually using AI, then connects that reality to a tailored policy, role and risk mapping, core and manager learning, practical scenarios, assessment, acknowledgement, managed deployment and an internal evidence pack. It is an operational learning and governance implementation—not legal advice, certification, a security audit or a guarantee of compliance. Issues involving potentially prohibited or high-risk use, data protection or specialist legal interpretation are ring-fenced for appropriate expert advice.
