Online learning,
built to be yours.

1836 Learning helps companies design custom online courses and stand up their own LMS — so your training lives on a platform you own, not one you rent year after year.

1836The year it all began

The Republic of Texas was built by people who wanted to own what they made. We build learning the same way — your courses, your platform, yours to keep.

1836
The meaning of 1836

A year Texans chose to build something of their own.

In 1836, Texas declared its independence and became its own republic — a beginning built on courage, self-reliance, and the belief that people can build something better than what they were handed.

That’s the spirit behind our name. We help companies stop renting their training and start owning it — courses and platforms built to be yours, never licensed back to you year after year.

What we build

Everything you need to teach online.

From a single course to a full platform, we design, build, and hand over learning your company owns end to end.

Instructional design

Custom Course Development

Engaging online courses built around your content — interactive modules, video, and assessments that actually teach, packaged in SCORM or xAPI to run anywhere.

Design & build

Your Own LMS

A branded learning platform you own and control — built to fit how your team actually learns, not forced into someone else’s template.

Strategy

Learning Strategy

From skills gaps to a clear roadmap. We map what your people need to learn and how to deliver it — before a single screen gets built.

Modernize

Migration & Refresh

Move in-person or legacy training online — and bring tired, dated courses back to life with a modern look, feel, and structure.

How we work

From first conversation to fully yours.

Every project follows the same path — and ends with you holding the keys.

01

Discovery

We learn your business, your people, and exactly what they should walk away able to do.

02

Design

We architect the curriculum and shape the look, flow, and platform before anything gets built.

03

Build

We produce the courses and stand up your LMS — branded, tested, and ready to run.

04

Handoff

You take the keys. Your courses, your platform, your data — fully yours to run and grow.

No subscriptions. No lock-in. Just learning you own.

Our approach

Taught the Texas way.

Straight-talking and built to last. We partner closely, design around how your people actually work, and hand you something you fully own.

  • i.

    Built for your brand

    Your name on everything. We design courses and platforms that look and sound like you — never like a generic, off-the-shelf template.

  • ii.

    Rooted in real learning

    Good design teaches. We build on sound instructional-design fundamentals so your courses change behavior, not just check a box.

  • iii.

    You own what we build

    Your courses, your platform, your data — yours to keep, run, and grow without being tied to us forever.

They didn’t hand us another subscription — they built us a platform and a course library we actually own. Our training finally feels like us.
