Learning ≠ information dump + quiz.
Whether you need a hands‑on Senior Instructional Designer and Developer to own a critical module from brief to SCORM sign‑off, or a Programme Lead to rescue a multi‑stream rollout running behind schedule, Tactical Learning builds digital learning that actually lands.
Whether you need one senior pair of hands to design and build a single high‑impact module, or architectural leadership to rescue a multi‑stream programme, every engagement is built around direct SME collaboration and measurable results.
When a multi‑stream learning programme is months behind schedule, adding more slide‑builders only multiplies the confusion. We audit the failure points, restructure the architecture across workstreams, align SME sign‑off, and ship on deadline.
Need one experienced practitioner to take a complex brief from SME interview right through to storyboard, bespoke animation, and final SCORM build? We translate dense Defence, Financial Services, and Government material into scenario‑led digital learning.
Locked‑down environments stay locked down: In restricted Defence and Government environments, sensitive material is never fed into external AI. If your content can't leave your own systems, all work stays inside your approved environment. Where governance permits, we use AI voice, video, and scripting workflows to remove bottlenecks without generic “AI slop”.
Attention is finite. Most training fails because it opens with 40 slides of "What" and never earns the learner's commitment. We start with the Why, and go from there.
Context determines relevance. Before a single policy clause or system screen is shown, the learner needs to feel why it matters in the real world, and what breaks when they get it wrong.
Subject Matter Experts know everything. Learners only need what changes their judgement or actions. We strip out defensive padding and structure the core decisions into clean, modular pathways.
Whether the right format is a 3‑minute motion explainer, a multi‑character branching scenario, or a rapid reference tool, every interaction is engineered for real‑world recall under pressure.
Selected programme turnarounds and architecture builds developed and implemented across UK Government, International Defence, and Tier‑1 Financial Services.
Brought in on a short‑term turnaround contract to rescue a stalling programme. Replaced a flat, single‑track linear narrative with a modular, multi‑story architecture, hitting the emotional hook early so staff from diverse operational backgrounds had a character they recognised. Reworked existing animation templates and introduced custom AI voice and music workflows.
Joined a next‑generation defence training platform that was over budget and several months behind schedule. Restructured delivery across eight distinct technical workstreams, built local time‑saving production automations, coordinated direct SME and instructor sign‑off, and instituted daily quality assurance tracking.
Designed greenfield end‑to‑end digital training processes, templates, and a flagship video explainer on the Defence Systems Approach to Training (DSAT) for a multi‑disciplined defence workforce. On a separate international M365 and Copilot transformation programme running behind schedule, hand‑edited recorded SME sessions to cut runtime by ~20%.
Over a decade of financial services programmes developed and implemented across Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide, FIS Global, RBS, AXA, and Zurich, covering Vulnerable Customers, GDPR, AML, Retail Distribution Review, Mortgages, and ApplePay rollouts requiring multi‑stakeholder sign‑off across Risk, Compliance, and Brand.

Need confidentiality before sharing a Defence, Financial Services, or Government build? We sign a mutual NDA the same business day before you send a single slide.
4 concrete deliverables in 48 business hours under a clean, fixed‑scope Outside‑IR35 Statement of Work.
Your SMEs are already overloaded. We require 1 async storyboard or SCORM drop and 1 focused 30‑minute alignment call with Chad Schofield.
Tell us what is stuck or behind schedule. You get a direct reply from us within one business day. Any paid diagnostic audit or turnaround sprint is scoped and paid upfront at a fixed price before work begins, with zero surprise charges.
How Tactical Learning scopes, prices, and rescues complex digital learning programmes.
We work with L&D Directors, Digital Learning Managers, and Transformation Leads across Defence, Financial Services, and the Public Sector. Whether your team needs a single Senior Instructional Designer and Developer to own a critical module end‑to‑end (from SME interview to Storyline, Rise, or interactive video sign‑off), or a Programme Lead to rescue a stalling multi‑stream rollout, you work directly with Chad Schofield, who leads the design, build, and implementation himself.
We begin with a rapid triage of your existing storyboards, LMS and Learning Content Management System (LCMS) assets, and stakeholder bottlenecks. Within days, we establish a clean Why → What → How modular structure, build repeatable templates, and manage the workstreams through Risk, Compliance, and SME sign‑off.
Tactical Learning operates on clear, fixed‑scope B2B Statements of Work (Outside‑IR35). Every paid diagnostic audit or milestone sprint is priced and agreed upfront before work starts, so there are never surprise charges.
Everything required to take a module or programme from white‑sheet discovery to LMS deployment: Articulate 360 (Storyline and Rise), Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator, Animate), hand‑coded HTML5, SCORM 1.2/2004, Experience API (xAPI), custom Jira boards and workflow automations, non‑destructive local pipelines, and defence training frameworks (DSAT). Locked‑down environments stay locked down: In restricted Defence and Government environments, sensitive material is never disseminated into external AI tools. If your content can't leave your own systems, all work stays inside your approved environment. AI voice, video, and scripting workflows are used only where classification and client governance permit.
