About Us

Our History

I founded Bridgehill Learning Solutions in 2012 to provide small to medium-sized businesses with personalized custom learning and development services. After spending several years working and managing L&D programs, I recognized that long-term business relationships were quickly taking a back seat to short-term business transactions. Commitments made were not being kept, and solutions didn’t always provide the value promised.

I wanted to build a business that not only helped my clients creatively solve their unique learning challenges but resulted in something more than just another business transaction. I wanted my clients to see me as their Personal Learning Guide. Someone who guides them from end-to-end with their e-Learning project, patiently answering any questions they might have along the way. Someone who takes the time to understand their specific needs and provides common-sense solutions to address them.

Now, almost a decade later, Bridgehill Learning Solutions continues to guide our clients through the process of creating and delivering quality e-Learning courses to their end-users. Check out what they have to say on our Testimonials page!

What makes us different?

When you have a question, you will always be able to talk directly to one of us. There is no need to reach out to a project manager who then must contact your e-Learning designer/developer and get back to you “as soon as they can.” You are talking directly to the individuals designing and developing your courses. This direct one-to-one connection allows us to provide you with a more customized and meaningful service!

We do what we say we will do!
We make a tangible difference for your business by always adding value.
We prioritize long-term relationships over short-term business transactions.
We don’t overcomplicate things but prefer to take a pragmatic approach to solve your L&D challenges.
