■ What you get
Eight engagements we know how to ship.
Most LMS pages list features. These are engagements — concrete pieces of work we've shipped repeatedly, on Moodle, in production, across multiple brands.
01
Customised Moodle setups
Moodle core with bespoke plugin work — themes, course formats, gradebook tweaks, enrolment plugins, reporting blocks. Not a fork — a deployment that updates cleanly with Moodle core releases.
02
Custom Moodle mobile app
Bespoke Moodle mobile app built on the Moodle App SDK or as a native shell talking to Moodle's web services. Branded per client, offline-capable, push notifications wired in.
03
Exam delivery at scale
Quiz engine tuning, attempt management, re-sit logic, proctoring hooks, certificate issuance gated to a passing score. The places Moodle's defaults break under real volume.
04
Cohort & B2B licensing
Group enrolments, seat-pool management, manager dashboards, single-buyer / many-learner workflows. The shape corporate L&D buyers expect.
05
Multi-brand deployments
One engineering team running multiple LMS brands — shared plugin layer, brand-aware configuration, isolated payment paths, independent course catalogues.
06
Billing & checkout integration
Stripe / PayPal on courses, multi-currency, promo codes, partial refunds, post-purchase enrolment flow with email confirmation and receipt logic.
07
SCORM & xAPI
Standards work when corporate clients require it. Package ingestion, completion tracking, learner data export. Done correctly, not duct-taped.
08
Performance & migrations
Queries, caching, video delivery, schema migrations without losing learner progress. The work that keeps a 10-year-old LMS codebase boring on purpose.

■ Evidence · Three brands, one engineering team
What the capabilities look like in production.
Flagship · Ireland market
TEFL.ie
The original Moodle deployment. A decade of careful customisation, exam delivery, certificate issuance, and learner-progress migrations done without losing data.
Sister brand · global reach
TEFL Institute of Ireland
Independent branding, course catalogue, and pricing — running on the same engineering layer. The brand-aware configuration that makes that economically possible is the moat.
Sister brand · partner / affiliate
PremierTEFL
Affiliate course routing, partner-priced enrolments, isolated payment paths. The third tenant on the shared infrastructure, with its own checkout and reporting.
■ NEXIS School of Business
Our own LMS.
NEXIS isn't a client. It's ours. We run the Industry Immersion Program for GD Goenka, AI training for Chartered Accountants, and qualification packs aligned to NSQF Level 4.5 and 5.
We don't just build learning platforms — we run a school on one. nexisschool.com
Long-form on the TEFL case study. Related engagements: API and integration work for billing, CRM, and identity flows around the LMS; SaaS web app development when an LMS needs a sibling product alongside it.
■ Stack we ship on
Moodle core, customised — plus a bespoke app.
Plugins update with core. The app talks to Moodle Web Services. Nothing painted into a corner.
■ Good fit if
- EdTech businesses with serious volume — 10K+ learners, recurring exam cycles, certificate-gated outcomes
- Schools and training providers running multiple sister brands off shared engineering
- Corporate L&D platforms with cohort licensing, manager dashboards, and reporting requirements
- Existing Moodle deployments that have outgrown stock plugin defaults
■ Probably not a fit
- Single-instructor course sites — a Teachable or Thinkific subscription is faster
- Small course catalogues with no exam, certificate, or compliance angle
- Teams looking for the cheapest possible bid on an LMS shell
■ How we work
Audit → focused build → long retainer.
We start with a paid audit on existing deployments — plugin sprawl, performance, migration risk, customisation drift. For greenfield, a discovery sprint to scope the actual learner journey before anything is built.
Build is phased and runs against working software. Plugin and theme work first, checkout and enrolment alongside, custom app last. Two-week sprints, code in your repos.
Most clients move to a long retainer post-launch. An LMS gets more complex by the year, not less. The team that built it is the team that keeps it running.
We've been the LMS engineering partner for the same EdTech group for over a decade. Across three brands. If you want a vendor for a year, hire someone else.
■ If your LMS is at year three
Bring the Moodle customisations, the exam workflow, and the app you wish you had.
