Custom Program and Course Creation Services
We offer program and course creation services with three different options: off-the-shelf courses, customization, and scratch-made courses. Our team has years of experience in designing and developing effective programs for educational institutions, and we are excited to help you create programs and courses that meet your specific needs. Here's what you can expect from each of our program and course creation options:
-
Off-the-shelf: Our off-the-shelf programs and courses are ready-made solutions that have been developed for use by numerous institutions sharing common interests. This option is good for institutions with limited resources. Our off-the-shelf programs and courses can lower cost, increase the speed of implementation, and remove the need for in-house development expertise.
-
Customization: Our customization option involves taking off-the-shelf programs and courses, and modifying them to meet your institution’s specific needs. This can be a good option for institutions that need some customization but don't want to invest in a fully custom solution. Customization is a lower cost than fully custom programs and courses, has faster implementation than fully custom programs and courses, and still provides some level of customization to meet specific needs of your student population.
-
Scratch-made: Our scratch-made programs and courses option involves creating a solution from scratch, tailored to the specific needs of a single institution and its unique student population. The scratch-made programs and courses provide greater control over the development process and can be more scalable than off-the-shelf or customized solutions.
Tailored for Your Institution
