The Portable Course Standard

Design it here. Own it forever.

CraftMyTraining is the forge — you walk away with the finished artifact. A complete, interactive, competency-based course that runs on any device, works offline, and never depends on our platform again. You control access. You own distribution. No lock-in. Ever.

The training world gives you two bad options

On one side: static PDFs and slide decks that are easy to share but fail to engage, assess, or transform. On the other: server-locked LMS platforms that require subscriptions, internet access, and give you zero control once you stop paying.

Your expertise deserves a third path — a course that is as interactive as a platform but as portable as a file.

The Forge Model

We are the forge. You keep the blade.

CraftMyTraining's AI maps your expertise into a research-backed, competency-based course — complete with assessments, gamification, and coaching milestones. When the design is done, you export a completely self-contained package that runs independently. Email it. Put it on a USB drive. Host it on your own site. The platform helped you build it. It never holds it hostage.

  • No subscriptions required to distribute your finished course
  • No internet required for your students to take it
  • No platform dependency — ever

The Student Experience

What your students actually feel

This is the moment your expertise comes alive. Here's the journey your learner steps into the second they open the course you built — engaging, low-pressure, and genuinely fun to finish.

The moment they open it

Double-click — the Course Hub loads instantly. No login wall, no buffering, no "create an account." A personalized welcome greets them by name and casts them as the hero of a real-world quest they actually want to solve.

They learn in focused bursts

Lessons arrive in 7–10 minute pattern-chunks with a note-taking console right beside the content. They read, watch, and write in the same view — staying in flow instead of juggling tabs.

They practice without fear

Self-scoring knowledge checks are framed as low-stakes practice — calm numbered cards, a "retake anytime" reassurance, and gentle feedback. A wrong answer isn't a red X — it's a warm amber "Not yet" with a nudge to review and retry. Mistakes become momentum.

They level up

Every action earns XP. They climb from Unaware → Aware → Competent → Master, unlocking badges like the Metacognition Medal and Primacy Shield. Progress feels like a game they can't put down.

They walk away with proof

At the finish, all their notes compile into a Personal Course Journal, and their skills are validated against clear rubrics. They leave with a real, portable record of mastery — not just a "complete" checkbox.

Loved on both sides of the screen

A course is only great if it's effortless to take and effortless to run. Yours is both.

Your students get

  • Learn on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop — online or completely offline
  • Zero friction: no accounts to create, no apps to install, no logins to remember
  • Gamified quests, XP, and badges that make them genuinely want to finish
  • Their notes and progress stay private, saved on their own device

You get

  • One-click export — no code, no server, no technical setup required
  • Issue, revoke, or rotate access from a simple list you fully control
  • Update once and redistribute in seconds — every student gets the new version
  • No ongoing platform fees just to deliver the course you already built
  • Every export includes a professional Course Information & License document — your copyright, terms, and instructor bio ship with the file automatically
You Stay In Control

Your course, your rules.

Portability does not mean losing control. Because you hold the master file, you decide who gets it and how it's gated — and none of it depends on a platform you don't own. Here are practical ways to keep access in your hands.

You Hold the Master File

The course lives in a file you own outright — not on a platform that can lock you out, change its terms, or raise its fees. Access begins and ends with you.

Distribute Selectively

Hand the package only to paying or enrolled students — by email, a private download link, or your LMS — so it never sits in an open, public storefront.

Gate It Behind Your Own Login

Host the course inside a members' area, LMS, or password-protected page you control, so only enrolled students can reach it.

Protect With Clear Licence Terms

Personalise each copy and state a single-user licence so casual sharing is traceable and discouraged. The in-app Sell Your Course guide walks you through every option.

Distribution & Access, On Your Terms

Get your course to the world in minutes

Because your course is just a set of files, delivery is refreshingly simple. Choose whatever fits your audience — and change your mind anytime.

Email it directly

Attach the ZIP and send it to your cohort. They unzip and open — anywhere in the world, on any device.

Host it on your own site

Upload the folder to your website and share one link. It's just files — no plugins, no database, no maintenance.

Hand it over offline

USB drives, internal networks, or classroom laptops. Perfect for locations with no reliable internet.

Import into an LMS

The included JSON and assets slot cleanly into platforms like Canvas or Moodle when you want a gradebook.

Access starts with you. Because you hold the master file, you choose who ever receives it — send it only to enrolled students, host it behind your own login or LMS, and personalise each copy. The in-app Sell & Distribute guide covers every option, step by step.

Sell The Experience, Not Just The Content

Help students choose with confidence

Prospective students commit faster when they can picture the experience. Give them a taste before they enroll — here's how.

Share a sample lesson

Export a single unlocked lesson as its own HTML file. Prospects open it, click through a real quiz, and feel the interactivity firsthand — no sign-up needed.

Show the gamified hub

A few screenshots of the XP bar, level path, and badge wall instantly communicate that this is an experience, not a document to skim.

Promise “any device, offline”

One of the biggest enrollment objections — “will this work for me?” — disappears when you can promise it runs on any phone, tablet, or laptop, even offline.

“This isn't a PDF you'll skim and forget. From the first screen you step into a hands-on quest — learning in focused bursts, testing yourself with instant feedback, earning your way from Aware to Master, and finishing with a personal journal of everything you've built. Works on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Online or off. Yours to keep.”

A ready-to-use “what to expect” blurb — paste it straight onto your enrollment page.

From blank page to portable course in four moves

Step 01

Describe your expertise

Tell the Design Studio what you teach. It maps your knowledge into competencies, modules, and assessments.

Step 02

Refine the blueprint

Adjust the structure, gamification, coaching milestones, and rubrics until every detail is yours.

Step 03

Export your package

One click generates your complete, self-contained course package — ready to distribute.

Step 04

Distribute on your terms

Email it, host it, or load it into your LMS. You decide who receives it and how it's gated. You are in charge.

Your expertise is too valuable to be locked in someone else's platform.
