The Real Projects Course Library
Transforming Learning with High-Quality, Engaging Content
Our growing library of over 780 courses spans industries such as compliance, professional development, and customer service.
Courses are available in English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
Specialising in short, high-impact courses, typically 3-5 minutes long, we make learning accessible, efficient, and engaging for busy professionals.
Why Select Us
Our flexibility and expertise set us apart.
Whether it’s off-the-shelf courses or custom learning solutions, we work closely with clients across industries, from corporate L&D to football analysis, to deliver tailored content that drives real-world results.
Our commitment to innovation has earned us industry recognition, and we continue to push the boundaries of digital learning.
“I loved it! It gave me practical tips on relaxing and staying in the moment, something I’ve never been able to do. I get distracted by tasks and things happening around me so its never easy to just pause and relax. I’ll practice mindfulness this week”
Our courses go beyond passive content—we use interactive design and storytelling to create immersive learning experiences. With tools like Articulate 360, we craft content that feels like personalised coaching, ensuring learners gain practical skills they can apply immediately.
Who We Help
We work with organisations of all sizes, from SMEs to large enterprises, particularly in higher education, professional training, retail, and corporate environments.
Our content is designed to fill knowledge gaps and complement existing learning programs, making it an ideal solution for L&D teams looking for high-quality, off the shelf elearning.
“Very easy to listen to and digest the information – the short course format works well in this regard.”
Our courses are available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, and French, with ongoing expansion into new regions. This ensures businesses worldwide can provide training that is both accessible and culturally relevant.
Learning That Works
We design content that solves real challenges.
Businesses today need training that is flexible, up-to-date, and engaging.
Our microlearning courses allow professionals to develop skills on demand, making it easier for organisations to stay compliant, enhance customer service, and upskill their workforce.
Content That Stands Out
We cover a broad range of topics including travel security, sustainability, teamwork, cyber security to leadership development and customer experience.
Our unique approach ensures that our courses are:
- Short & Effective: Designed for quick consumption without sacrificing depth.
- Engaging & Interactive: Built with storytelling and scenario-based learning.
- Globally Accessible: Available in multiple languages to support diverse teams.
- Industry-Specific: Covering critical areas often overlooked by other libraries, such as security training in retail and hospitality.
Our in-house localisation team ensures that translated content retains its impact, making our learning experiences as effective in Madrid as they are in London.
