Got an idea for CPD but struggling to get started? You’re not alone. Between busy practice life, confidence wobbles, and tech hurdles, creating content can feel overwhelming.
That’s exactly what the Jumpstart sessions are here for.
Over 4 weeks, you’ll join structured, 2-hour co-working sessions (delivered live on Teams) designed to help you:
✅ Set aside protected time to finally work on your content.
✅ Get support on hand for any questions, big or small.
✅ Bounce ideas around with other creators and spark fresh inspiration.
The focus is on progress, not perfection. By the end of the month (or sooner), you’ll have content ready to go live on PeerVet.
You’ll also get access to the course space here on PeerVet, where you’ll find links for each live session plus any resources and templates to help along the way.
Get ready to kick-start your CPD creation journey. In this lesson, you’ll complete your PeerVet Creator registration, explore the Creator Toolkit, and use the Brainstorming Guide to start shaping your ideas. This will give you a clear starting point before the first Jumpstart session.
Join weekly 2-hour co-working sessions on Microsoft Teams. Each session includes focused working time, group check-ins, and optional breakout discussions for individual support. This is your protected, distraction-free space to move your CPD project forward.
Jumpstart isn’t just about the live sessions, you’ll also have support between sessions so you can keep momentum going.
To make the most of Jumpstart, we suggest having a few simple tools ready. These will help you design, draft, and share your CPD content more easily. All have free versions, and you only need to use the ones that suit your style, no tech overload required.
Turn your course idea into a clear, workable outline. In this session we’ll focus on the first building blocks: writing SMART learning outcomes, sketching a simple course structure, and drafting the basics of your landing page. You’ll leave with the start of a mini-course plan and a clearer sense of direction.
This week is all about taking the outline you drafted and shaping it into real content.
This lesson explores learning styles and why variety is key to effective online teaching. You’ll discover how people retain information differently when they hear, see, and do, and learn simple ways to make your course more engaging using stories, visuals, and applied activities.
Scenario-Based Learning uses realistic situations, choices, and consequences to help learners apply knowledge.
This week we’ll build on your first lesson draft and explore how to make it more engaging.
There’s no one right way to deliver a course. It depends on your goals, topic, and how much involvement you want as a tutor.
Images can make your course more engaging, but you need to be aware of copyright and referencing requirements.
You’ve now shaped your ideas, built your lessons, and added interactivity, this final week is about getting your course ready to meet learners.
Pricing your course is about finding the right balance between accessibility and value.
When your course is ready to go live, the next step is letting people know about it. This section helps you plan your launch strategy, share it confidently, and make the most of PeerVet’s support.
