Bigger Brains, which was founded in 2013, is well-known for its high-quality online learning courses in both software and business soft skills. Their uniquely engaging courses are popular with both learners and training professionals all over the world because they combine TV-style video production with modern graphics and animation. Courses are designed in a unique 'teacher/learner' format, with two people on camera recreating some of the interactivity and physiological benefits of classroom training, such as dialogue, humour and practical use case examples. This video-based format is more enjoyable and effective than traditional eLearning formats. Most Bigger Brains' courses contain handouts, practise files and knowledge assessments in the form of quizzes.
