Made with love in 
We have a small but noble aim – to help ambitious subject experts and expertise-led businesses scale up and stand out through online learning.
We do this through our small (but perfectly crafted) team in Leeds, West Yorkshire. With clients across the UK, we’re proud to be big enough to handle big projects, but small enough to provide the personal care our clients deserve.
We believe that a key part of business success is creating scalable online learning products that have more impact, without being directly tied to the subject expert’s time.
Our WordPress plugin business – Training Spark – gives us the opportunity to exploring selling digital products at scale, which further informs our thinking at Candle Digital.
Who we work with
We’ve learned that not all subject experts will make a success of online learning. Those that do have a special set of qualities.
What we do
As your online learning partners, we provide the skills and expertise you need to create a flourishing digital business.
