Real Projects, a subscription-based learning provider, specialises in high-quality, engaging, bite-sized digital learning experiences.
They serve a wide range of organisations, from small businesses to large enterprises, across sectors such as higher education, professional training, travel and tourism, hospitality, retail, and technology. Their content helps clients stay ahead of rapid changes in compliance, professional skills, and sector-specific knowledge.
With strong expertise in areas like information security, compliance, and customer experience, Real Projects has created some of their most in-demand content in areas such as remote working and digital transformation. These short, interactive courses support both general business needs and industry-specific challenges. For instance, Real Projects has developed targeted courses on security for retail and hospitality, filling a critical gap in the market. This niche focus enables clients to access content they cannot find elsewhere.
Expanding reach and delivering customised solutions
Real Projects offers a library of more than 300 courses spanning compliance, soft skills, and professional development. As part of their growth strategy, they are expanding global access. Currently, their content is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, and French, with a goal of more than 700 courses as additional languages are added.
“Our strength is in creating concise, impactful content that delivers key knowledge quickly,” says Scott Hewitt, CEO and Founder of Real Projects. “Most of our modules are just 3 to 5 minutes long, making learning efficient and engaging.”
What sets Real Projects apart is their high interactivity. Every course is designed to feel like personalised coaching, rooted in storytelling and learner engagement, so learners can apply what they learn right away. An in-house localisation team ensures that every course meets both linguistic and cultural needs across regions.
Strengthening a long-standing partnership with OpenSesame
Real Projects has partnered with OpenSesame for over a decade. In the past four years, they have worked closely to expand global access to their content.
“OpenSesame is the ideal partner because of their robust platform and global reach,” says Hewitt. “They have allowed us to focus on content creation while they handle seamless distribution and client engagement.”
From day one, OpenSesame has offered hands-on support, guiding integration, providing curation and marketing expertise, and offering continuous feedback. This close collaboration has helped Real Projects increase visibility, improve content quality, and grow their global user base.
“OpenSesame advised us on everything from technical integration to content best practices. Their input has directly influenced the way we design and deliver learning,” Hewitt explains.
Driving engagement, satisfaction, and growth
Real Projects tracks success through user engagement, client feedback, and revenue growth. They recently surpassed 10,000 user reviews, a milestone that reflects both scale and satisfaction. TAP scores and reviews are critical, as they shape how the team evolves content each quarter.
“We’re just getting started with OpenSesame,” says Hewitt. “Our mission is to deliver next-gen training that meets today’s needs and prepares people for tomorrow’s workforce.”
That mission is paying off. Real Projects has seen a 13% year-over-year increase in revenue, which reflects the strength of the partnership.
“We’re excited about what’s ahead. We’re exploring innovative, interactive formats, new technologies, and more custom solutions to meet unique client challenges,” Hewitt adds.
