Our Process
Simple process. Real results.
We listen first.
Tell us your learners, your goals, your constraints, and your timeline. No assumptions.
We map before we build.
We design the learning journey, structure, and interactions before a single screen is developed.
Iterative development.
You see and feedback on work at every stage. Nothing is delivered cold.
We don't disappear at go-live.
Implementation support, LMS publishing, and post-launch guidance included.

What Clients Say
Results that speak for themselves.
"Knowledge Braid took our onboarding program from a 40% completion rate to over 90% in a single redesign. They genuinely understood our learners and our constraints."
"We had no internal eLearning capability when we started. The project partnership model meant we built our own content confidently and haven't needed to outsource since."
"What sets Knowledge Braid apart is the willingness to take on what others won't. Complex topic, unusual format — they found a way and delivered on time."
"The blended learning program was structured, practical, and exactly what our team needed. Delivered without fuss."

Founder
"We learned to solve impossible learning problems — because we had no other choice."
Knowledge Braid was founded by Steven Yates — a PhD-qualified instructional designer with over 20 years of experience across six countries.
It started with an unusual problem: how do you teach self-defence to students in remote locations, where traditional training simply wasn't possible? That challenge led to pioneering work in online skills-based learning — at a time when most believed it couldn't be done — which became the subject of peer-reviewed academic papers and international conference presentations.
Since then, Steven has led digital learning teams at Monash University for over a decade, built 80+ courses for a global software company across four countries, and designed training programs for organisations ranging from the Australian Defence Force to Cochlear, ANZ, and CPA Australia.
Knowledge Braid is where 20 years of that experience works for you — without the agency overhead.

Common Questions
Not at all. We work with organisations of all sizes — from small businesses to large enterprises. Our self-paced training starts at AU$99, and consulting is billed hourly so you only pay for what you actually use. There are no retainers and no lock-in.
Most eLearning fails because it's designed like a textbook — passive, linear, and disconnected from real work. We design learning experiences that challenge people, keep them active, and connect directly to what they need to do on the job. That's the difference between content and learning.
It depends on scope and complexity, but most projects move from brief to first draft within 4–8 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline in our first conversation — no inflated estimates to manage expectations down later.
Yes. We build SCORM and xAPI-compatible content that works with any major learning management system — Moodle, Brightspace, Docebo, Blackboard, LearnDash, ADELE, and others.
Entirely, if needed. We've worked with clients across Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, South Africa, China, and Brazil. Remote is our default — it keeps costs down and timelines lean.
Absolutely. Our 1-on-1 coaching option is designed exactly for that — one person, fully personalised, at a pace and schedule that suits them.
Let's figure out what you need.
No pressure. No jargon. Just a 30-minute conversation to understand your situation and whether we're the right fit.
