eLearning and ILT built from a single asset base

Customers were asking questions.
Technicians didn't have answers.

Customer feedback was flagging a troubling gap: service technicians could install the inverter heat pump water heater unit correctly, but struggled to speak confidently about product features, energy benefits, and safety protocols when customers asked.

For a company that views every technician as a brand ambassador, this wasn't just a training gap — it was a business problem.

  • No pre-existing course structure — content was scattered across documents, brochures, websites, and subject matter experts' heads
  • Both eLearning and ILT had to be developed concurrently and launched simultaneously
  • US regulatory frameworks required a classroom component in several states
  • Two-month delivery window — with maximum asset reuse across both modalities

Grounded in Situated Learning Theory — knowledge that sticks because it's taught in the context where it will be used.

The problem we solved

Building a curriculum from scattered raw material

No single content source existed. Knowledge lived in slide decks, brochures, websites, and inside the minds of SMEs. The first design task was architecture — mapping what needed to be taught before deciding how to teach it.

What made this work

One asset base. Two complete learning experiences.

Every video, graphic, and explanation was designed for dual deployment from the start. The live demonstration videos shot for the ILT were embedded directly into the eLearning — giving online learners the same expert context as the classroom audience.

Technicians went into the field
ready to answer anything.

Line managers reported a marked shift in customer interactions. Customers noted that technicians could respond with confidence, clarity, and genuine product knowledge — a direct reflection of what the training had built.

"Our technicians can now answer any question a customer throws at them. That confidence — that's what this training delivered."
