“Together with Grade, we’ve created a concept that delivers a smooth and pedagogical participant experience – from purchase to certification.”
Marcus Lindh, CEO and Founder, Distansinstitutet
Background
When Distansinstitutet was founded in 2018, the ambition was clear: to offer flexible, digital vocational training tailored to modern working life. No fixed schedules. No classrooms. Just access to leading subject-matter experts – and a truly great digital experience.
“We saw a growing demand for private education where participants control their own time and place of study. To succeed, we needed a seamless digital learning experience – and a platform that could support it,” says Marcus Lindh.
After comparing several alternatives, the choice fell on Grade LMS – a platform that combined pedagogical flexibility with user-friendly technology.
Solution
With Grade LMS in place, Distansinstitutet began building its courses together with subject-matter experts directly in Grade’s authoring tool, Composer. Strong emphasis was placed on navigation, pedagogical balance, and engaging content.
“Since our participants study entirely online, we focus heavily on interactive exercises and dynamic feedback. That makes learning active – and measurable.”
The courses include a mix of videos, screen recordings, interviews, and interactive elements. After completing a course, participants receive a diploma and have the opportunity to become certified through a practical assignment assessed by subject-matter experts.
The certification serves as tangible proof of both theoretical knowledge and practical application – something highly valued by employers.
Result
With an accessible learning format and strong content, Distansinstitutet has quickly become one of Sweden’s most popular providers of digital vocational education. In the coming year alone, 10 new courses are planned.
Participant feedback provides clear validation:
4.41/5 average course rating
90% give the learning platform the highest rating
With a digital learning platform that matches its ambitions, Distansinstitutet has built a scalable model that puts the participant at the center – and continues to grow at record speed.
“We continuously develop new courses based on labor market needs – and our collaboration with Grade is an important part of that journey.”
