The Learning Rooms

What The Learning Rooms is

The Learning Rooms is a digital learning services company in Dublin, Ireland, that sells ready-made workplace e-learning courses and also builds courses to order. Its homepage describes it as a company that "helps organisations deliver eLearning, blended learning and tutor-led training solutions", and its tagline is "Architects of digital learning." The reader it serves is an L&D lead, HR manager or training coordinator who needs courses in front of staff, either by buying them from a catalog or by commissioning them.

The company says it has been developing e-learning "for over 25 years." That long record shows in the shape of the offer: it is a service business with a course catalog, not a self-service software platform. A buyer talks to a team, gets a quote or a demo, and receives courses ready to run on an LMS.

The off-the-shelf catalog

For this directory the catalog is the center of the entry. The homepage calls it "an invaluable and cost-effective way to deliver high-quality engaging learning materials throughout your organisation," and a company blog post adds that the catalog "covers a wide range of workplace topics, all built to a high standard and ready to deploy."

The same post names the kind of subjects it has in mind: foundational topics "like health and safety, compliance, or soft skills," where building a course from scratch is expensive "when high-quality versions already exist." The site's recent articles hint at the wider subject range the team works in: presenting to an online audience, training a team on AI tools, allyship and inclusion, DEI, collaboration and problem solving, and supporting neurodivergent employees.

Speed is the main selling point. The blog says custom development of a single course "can take weeks or months to go from brief to launch," while off-the-shelf courses, once selected, "can be live on your LMS within days." There is, in its words, "no development cycle, no rounds of review and no waiting."

The menu groups the catalog under Courses and LMS, alongside an eXgo Learning Bundle, eXgo Plus and a Learning technologies page. The blog closes by offering "a single online course, a full suite of training, or LMS and eLearning course library in one package," so an organization without its own learning system can buy courses and a place to run them together. Learners sign in through a learner login, and the courses section also covers tutor-led and blended options, with separate pages on the company's approach to tutor-led training and to self-directed e-learning. The homepage describes its courses as "practical and interactive," built to "deliver the knowledge to develop new skills and practice better behaviours."

Custom and rapid development

When the catalog does not cover a topic, the company builds one. Its two development services sit at different points on budget and timeline.

Bespoke e-learning is full custom work: "highly engaging, interactive, bespoke eLearning content, designed to meet your unique learning goals. Every element, designed, just for you."

Rapid e-learning is the quicker, cheaper route: content that is "beautiful, multimedia-rich and built to your requirements," described as "quick-to-build and budget-friendly."

The menu also lists video for learning, animated explainer videos, blended learning design, learning consultancy and support packages. Beyond course production, the homepage says the company helps organizations "develop their management talent and build their internal capability to design and build digital learning content."

The eXcolo toolkit for in-house teams

The third route is for teams that want to build courses themselves. The eXcolo Toolkit is described as "a fully integrated eLearning development solution for teams and organisations who want to plan, write and build engaging eLearning content." It bundles training, the eXcolo Template, resources and support for each stage of development. The menu lists the template and digital learning training as separate items too, so a team can start with the template alone. An L&D department that has subject experts but little authoring experience gets a structured method and a template rather than a blank authoring tool.

Case studies and sectors

The featured case study is "Being an Active Bystander" for Ireland's arts and creative sectors. The Learning Rooms worked with Screen Ireland, Safe to Create and Irish Theatre Institute on "a one-hour eLearning module on how to be an active bystander," built as interactive scenario-based learning and "Translated into Irish, Polish & Brazilian Portuguese." The module is available on the Safe to Create website to anyone working in the arts and creative sectors. Other case studies on the site cover Universal Design training, a Tobacco Free Campus course, e-learning templates and training, and Signs of Safety.

The company lists eleven industries it works with: agriculture; charity and not for profit; education; financial and professional services; manufacturing and engineering; pharmaceutical and healthcare; public sector; retail, food and drink; sport, arts and entertainment; technology; and transport, travel and leisure. The homepage says it leads "the industry with the design and development of engaging eLearning solutions," points to an awards and partnerships section, and the blog announces that the company is a Gold sponsor of Learnovation 2026.

Buying and support

The site publishes no prices; every route runs through "Get a quote", "Book a demo" or "Enquire about a course." Support comes through a support desk linked in the footer and paid support packages, and the site carries an accessibility statement. The blog's own checklist for choosing a catalog asks about sector relevance, accessibility, LMS compatibility, branding and someone to talk to when something goes wrong, which is a fair list to put to The Learning Rooms itself before buying.

Who it suits

The Learning Rooms suits organizations that want ready-made workplace training quickly and like the option of a team that can also build custom courses later. A small business where training is one person's side job can buy off-the-shelf courses for compliance and soft skills and run them within days. A larger organization with a specific topic, such as a sector code of conduct, can commission a bespoke or rapid build, as the arts sector did with its bystander module. An in-house L&D team that wants to write its own courses can buy the eXcolo Toolkit and keep the work inside.

It suits less well a buyer who wants a large self-service subscription library with transparent per-seat pricing, since every purchase here starts with a quote. For an organization that values a long-standing team and a mix of ready-made and custom content, it is a practical option.
