Education Services LLC specializes in creating online and instructor‑led training programs and custom online training, service, and membership portals. We delight our customers with excellent user experience, service, and engaging learning experiences.

Sometimes we create simple training modules or courses. Most of the time we create full certification training programs consisting of multimedia learning experiences, practice activities, simulations and pseudo‑simulations, knowledge checks, and human‑scored or computer‑based certification assessments.

We serve customers around the world but, because our work includes DoD projects, we only employ U.S. citizens who can work in‑person in our office in Draper, UT. All applications are subject to background check and drug test, must provide proof of citizenship, and live within a reasonable commute to our office.

This is a great place to work if you love to help people gain the knowledge and skills needed to operate state‑of‑the‑art technology and equipment, value working in small teams where your impact matters, and want to continually learn and grow professionally. We especially love veterans and those with family serving in military and law enforcement.
