Education App Development From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP offers e-learning app development to education and training companies in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, the Nordics and Switzerland: a remote mid-to-senior developer who works full time on your product, joins your standups live and stays after launch. Our closest European reference is Vedu, an AI-powered app for learning German articles and vocabulary, built for a German client by two of our developers and live on both stores with an interface in 13 languages. European learning products carry their own engineering list. Where an online service relies on consent, GDPR and UK GDPR set an age of digital consent that varies by country, from 13 in the UK to 16 in Germany and the Netherlands, and below it a parent gives or authorises consent. In the UK, the ICO's Children's Code applies to online services likely to be accessed by children. Learner data should also stay in the region you choose. We work as your processor under a signed DPA, with the transfer clauses your DPO asks for: EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK Addendum or IDTA for UK data. Your DPO decides how the rules apply, and we build what they sign off.
What our e-learning app development covers for UK and European teams
One developer who stays with your product and builds the parts European learners, parents, institutions and regulators look at closely.
Consent that follows the learner's country
Age checks matched to the digital consent age in each market, consent from a parent or guardian below it, and a record of who agreed to what and when. Your DPO decides the lawful basis for each kind of processing, and your developer builds the journeys to match.
Children's Code design for UK users
High privacy settings by default, geolocation off by default, privacy information written for your learners' ages, and screens that steer towards the private choice. Where the service is likely to be accessed by children in the UK, these come from the ICO's Age Appropriate Design Code; your DPO leads the data protection impact assessment it calls for, and we build what they sign off.
E-learning software for training providers
Courses, assessments, completion certificates and manager reports for corporate learning and training providers, with SCORM packages imported and learning records sent over xAPI where your customers' systems expect them. Custom LMS development, or new features on the platform you already run, whichever suits your roadmap.
Hosting in your region
Database, file storage, video and backups in the EU or UK region you choose, such as Frankfurt, Belgium or London on Google Cloud and Firebase, or Ireland and Frankfurt on AWS, with a sub-processor list your DPO can check before launch.
Many languages from one codebase
Interface text kept outside the code, so a new language is a translation task, with dates, number formats and store listings set for each market. Vedu's interface runs in 13 languages, and its lessons span A1 to C1 across 6,000 common German words.
Payments for courses and subscriptions
App Store and Google Play subscriptions for digital lessons inside the app, Stripe with Strong Customer Authentication for courses sold on the web, and SEPA or Bacs Direct Debit for term fees and company training plans.
How a UK or European e-learning engagement starts
Your developer is working on real tickets within a week, and the DPA, data map and hosting region are settled before any learner record is opened.
A call in your working day
Thirty minutes on UK or Central European time. Bring the product, the countries and age groups it serves, and the next courses or features on the plan.
Scope, data map and a DPA
Within 24 hours: a short written scope, a data map listing each category of learner data with its hosting region and consent basis, and an introduction to one developer. The NDA, IP assignment and DPA are all signed before access is granted.
A trial with live standups
Within 48 hours your developer is in your standups and on a real ticket. You decide on day 7, and a full refund applies if it is not a fit.
Monthly, in EUR
A single EUR invoice each month, payable by SEPA transfer, wire or card under the VAT reverse charge. Every release is reviewed and tested by a senior team lead, and seven days' notice is all it takes to stop.
E-learning app development pricing for UK and European teams
For a running roadmap, the monthly plan gives you one developer for 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, invoiced upfront in EUR; for a single task, such as xAPI reporting or a new language, book hours instead. Both plans include a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release, without recruitment fees, employer contributions or a long notice period.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- Pay as you go - billed by the hour, time tracked, a weekly report
- Best for short, defined work; no monthly commitment
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead, built in
Monthly plan
- A dedicated developer, full-time and exclusive - 160-172 hours a month
- The best value for an ongoing engagement
- Your repo, your cloud account, your tools
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead on every release
- 7-day risk-free trial, monthly billing, cancel with 7 days notice
Dedicated team
- A dedicated team - developers plus a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release
- Add a developer (and a designer where the build needs UI/UX work) at the same rate
- Best for long-term, multi-track work; add a developer in 48 hours, no re-contracting
The first 90 days with a UK or European team
With five to seven shared hours a day, most of the first quarter happens live with your product team, planned around the academic year.
- Week 1
DPA, access and the learner data map
The DPA signed, access to the repository, the cloud project and both store consoles, and a learner data map your DPO can drop into the record of processing. Your progress and assessment rules are written down for sign-off, and a first reviewed change goes into a test build.
- Month 1
Consent journeys and the first course
Age checks, consent journeys and onboarding for each market, plus the top roadmap item with a pilot group, translated into each of your languages as it is built.
- Month 2
Assessments, standards or AI
Assessments and certificates, SCORM or xAPI support, a teacher view or an AI tutor, each with tests on the scoring and learner data paths. Any new processing goes to your DPO before release.
- Month 3
Live before the new term
A release planned around the academic year, with major changes in the summer or between terms. Your developer starts proposing improvements, and you plan the next quarter with them inside the same working day.
A dedicated developer vs a UK or European e-learning agency, a day-rate contractor, or an in-house hire
| Empiric Infotech (dedicated developer) | UK or European e-learning agency | Day-rate contractor | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial terms | Monthly, in EUR, with seven days' notice | A fixed price per project phase | A day rate, booked week by week | Salary plus employer contributions, with a notice period often one to three months long |
| GDPR and children's data | A DPA with EU SCCs or the UK Addendum, signed before access, with consent and Children's Code features built in | The agency's own DPA and process | Agreed contract by contract | Your internal policies |
| Working hours together | 5 to 7 hours of your day live, then a written handover | Your business hours | Your business hours | Your business hours |
| E-learning standards | SCORM, xAPI and LTI built to your roadmap | Within the agreed scope | Depends on the contractor's experience | Depends on who you hire |
| Getting started | Within 48 hours | After a proposal and kickoff, usually weeks | When the contractor is free | After the search and the new hire's notice period |
| After launch | The same developer keeps improving it, term after term | A support retainer | The engagement ends and the knowledge leaves with it | Your team carries it |
A general picture of each route across the UK and Europe, not a verdict on any one company. Send a proposal you have received and we will compare ours with it.

Why UK and European learning companies choose a dedicated developer
Hiring a senior developer in London, Dublin, Berlin or Amsterdam is slow and costly, with employer contributions on top and often a one to three month notice period before they start. An e-learning agency avoids the hire but works to a fixed scope, while a learning product changes every term: new courses, new markets, accessibility fixes and store updates.
A dedicated developer sits between the two. One engineer works only on your product, keeps the context from one release to the next, and shares five to seven hours of your day, so the standup, a review with your learning designers and a same-day fix all happen live. Andrzej Karel of Tak Innovation, the client behind Vedu in Germany, worked with two of our developers to turn his prototype into a complete app on both stores.
For a product that children may use, data protection is part of the engineering. We work as your processor under a signed DPA with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK Addendum, keep learner data in your chosen EU or UK region, and build consent, export and deletion into the product. You own the code, the content and the data from day one, and seven days' notice is all it takes to stop.
E-learning apps we have built, including one for a German client
Vedu: German grammar made visual
A visual memory system for der, die and das, illustrated with more than 2,000 AI-generated images, alongside a flashcard trainer, spaced repetition for memorising articles, lessons from A1 to C1 and audio pronunciation for 6,000 words. Free on both stores, with the interface in 13 languages.
Read case studyAcceleread: reading training in 24 languages

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
You pay one monthly fee in EUR per dedicated developer for 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, or an hourly rate for a single task such as adding SCORM import. The pricing section above shows current rates, and recruitment fees, employer contributions and notice periods stay out of the arrangement.
It sets who can consent and how much data the app may hold. Where an online service relies on consent, the age of digital consent varies by country, from 13 in the UK to 16 in Germany and the Netherlands, and below it a parent gives or authorises consent. The app should collect only what each lesson needs and keep learner data in a chosen region. Your DPO confirms the lawful basis and the ages for your markets, and we build the consent, export and deletion flows they sign off.
If children in the UK are likely to access it, it usually does, even when the app is aimed at adults. The ICO's Age Appropriate Design Code sets 15 standards, including high privacy settings by default, geolocation switched off by default and a data protection impact assessment. Your DPO decides whether and how it applies, and we build the settings and screens they sign off.
Yes, before any access: a Data Processing Agreement with EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK Addendum for UK data, under which we act as your processor. Because your developer works inside your own cloud account, learner records, videos and files stay in the EU or UK region you choose, for example Frankfurt, Belgium or London.
Five to seven hours a day. UK and Irish teams share 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM BST, or to 2:00 PM GMT in winter, and Central European teams 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CEST, or to 3:00 PM CET in winter. The project manager is reachable through your whole working day.
One invoice a month in EUR, by SEPA transfer, international wire or card. Empiric Infotech LLP invoices from India, so VAT is accounted for through the reverse charge on your side.
Yes. Vedu, an AI-powered app for learning German articles and vocabulary, was built for a German client by two of our developers in FlutterFlow, with Supabase and the OpenAI API. It is live on the App Store and Google Play, with lessons from A1 to C1 and an interface in 13 languages.
Yes. Your developer can import SCORM packages, send learning records to a learning record store over xAPI, and launch your tool inside Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard through LTI 1.3, so courses and results move between your product and the systems your customers already run.
Yes. Interface text lives outside the code, so a new language is a translation job, and dates, numbers and store listings follow each market. Vedu's interface is available in 13 languages, and Acceleread carries reading content in 24.
You do: the app, the code, the courses and the learner data are yours outright. The NDA and IP assignment are signed first, everything is built in your own repository, cloud project and store accounts, and the contract is monthly upfront with no annual lock-in, seven days' notice and a 7-day risk-free trial at the start.
