Who we are
Every organisation has gaps.
Your people don't fully understand the new system. Your frontline teams aren't aligned to the strategy. Your onboarding isn't landing. These gaps — between where your people are and where they need to be — stand between you and your business goals. We call it Gapenomics: the discipline of finding the significant gap and closing it through understanding.
Trainiac is a learning design consultancy. We close gaps with picture-based learning — learning maps, visual tools, board games, comic books, and custom card sets. Tactile. Memorable. Designed to be understood. Because when people understand, businesses perform.
Learn about our approach
Picture-based learning. Designed to be understood.
Strategy, creative, technology, and delivery — six connected capabilities, all under one roof, that close the gap between where your people are and where they need to be.
Learning Strategy & Consulting
We find the gap. Needs analysis, stakeholder alignment, and a strategic roadmap — so we're solving the right problem before we build anything. You get: a named gap, a learning strategy, an aligned exco.

Instructional Design & Content Development
We design the thinking before we design the learning. You get: storyboards, SCORM modules, assessments, and structured experiences that deliver real Aha! moments — in weeks, not quarters.

Learning Material Production
You get: learning maps, board games, custom card sets, facilitator guides, and learner workbooks — picture-based, tactile materials your people reach for, not file away.

Creative & Media Production
You get: custom illustration, comic books, animation, video, and infographics — all made in-house. Every visual engineered for understanding, not decoration.

See how we've done itOne partner. Every step.
After 1,000+ projects, we know that the biggest risk in learning and development isn't poor design — it's solving the wrong problem.
We hunt the gap
We call the distance between where your people are and where they need to be “The Gap” — and closing the gaps that block business goals is a discipline we call Gapenomics. Everything starts with finding yours precisely.
The Science of Understanding
Our five-step methodology, refined over 25 years: Identify the Significant Gap → Know the Audience → Craft Understandable Content → Apply the Patterns That Work → Deliver the Aha! Moment.
One team. Zero handoffs.
The old way: 3–4 vendors, context lost at every handoff, outsourced creative, finger-pointing. The Trainiac way: strategy, design, creative, digital, and delivery from one in-house team. One name to call.
Outcomes over outputs
We don't count modules delivered. We track behaviour change, performance shift, and bottom-line impact.
