Empowering dermalogica Therapists with Moodle Workplace

Dermalogica

Overview

As a leading Australian professional skin care company, for Dermalogica, education sits at the heart of everything they do. Our client partners exclusively with qualified skin therapists who stock their products and deliver treatments, ensuring their success through ongoing learning and development.

The education offering includes instructor-led training – delivered both in-person and via livestream – alongside a growing suite of flexible, self-paced online courses.

Dermalogica’s goal is to empower skin therapists with the product knowledge, practical techniques, and business skills they need to thrive. By investing in education, they not only elevate professional standards in the industry but also strengthen the success of the clinics and salons they work with.

This case study explores how their partnership with mylearningspace and the implementation of Moodle Workplace has allowed them to seamlessly embed this vision across the organisation. It provides insight into the challenges faced, the solutions implemented, and the measurable impact of creating a unified digital learning environment.

“Our goal is to create a learning environment that fits the unique needs of each client. Partnering with this professional skin care company allowed us to show how Moodle Workplace can enhance both learner engagement and organisational efficiency.”

A Strong Learning Culture, Ready to Evolve

Before implementing Moodle Workplace, Dermalogica already had a robust focus on education.

Training was largely in-person, with learners attending sessions face-to-face.

While effective, the team recognised the need to make learning more accessible and flexible, ensuring all learners could engage in ways that suited them, no matter their location.

Challenges That Drove Change

Despite a strong commitment to learning, the organisation faced several challenges with their previous systems:

For an organisation responsible for a critical part of Australia’s digital infrastructure, solving these learning challenges was a top priority.

Moodle Workplace Implementaion

The transition to Moodle Workplace was more than just a platform change – it was a strategic opportunity to enhance learning across the organisation. mylearningspace provided highly customised, hands-on support at every stage, ensuring that the LMS would not only meet current needs but also be scalable for the future.

From the outset, mylearningspace took the time to deep dive into the organisation’s data and existing learning processes, conducting thorough research into how learners engaged with courses, how staff managed bookings, and where bottlenecks or frustrations existed. This research informed the configuration of the LMS, ensuring that course structures, user flows, and reporting capabilities were tailored to the organisation’s unique requirements. Key steps in this tailored approach included:

1. Developement environment

mylearningspace provided a fully functional developement site where the organisation could explore options, test workflows, and visualise the learner experience before finalising the system.

2. Data-driven decision-making

By analysing course completions, booking behaviours, and learner feedback from previous systems, mylearningspace determined the optimal setup for in-person, livestream, and self-paced courses.

3. Multi-tenancy and shared spaces

Recognising that learners were external and the organisation’s workflows were unique, mylearningspace advised on how to structure access, configure cohorts, and optimise the shared learning environment.

4. Hands-on training and ongoing support

Staff received targeted training to understand both the operational and strategic aspects of Moodle Workplace, empowering them to confidently manage courses, monitor performance, and guide learners.

This combination of research, testing, and tailored guidance ensured a smooth, confident transition for all end users.

Learners immediately benefited from a seamless, mobile-friendly experience, while administrators gained the tools and insight needed to track engagement, manage bookings, and improve overall learning outcomes.
