Over 8,500 learners use RCVS Academy in first year
The platform now holds 17 separate courses.
The RCVS Academy has revealed that over 8,500 active learners signed up to the free digital learning platform in its first year.
The platform also saw 11,000 enrolments into its courses.
The RCVS Academy was launched in 2022 to support veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to meet professional standards by providing relevant and up-to-date knowledge.
It originally launched with six courses, but now holds 17 separate courses ranging from 15 minutes to 20 hours in length.
These courses include leadership and coaching, ownership and consent, CPD recording and reflecting and resolving complaints, with further courses in development.
The courses are developed in collaboration with veterinary professionals to ensure they remain relevant.
There is an emphasis on flexible and accessible learning, with courses using a variety of learning techniques including videos, activities, quizzes, scenarios and reflective practice and exercises.
RCVS Academy manager Jen Ayers RVN said: “I’m delighted with the success of the Academy over the course of just a year. As we continue to develop new courses, we will listen to our learners’ feedback so we can improve the platform and ensure that we offer engaging and relevant learning to suit the needs of our profession. I’m looking forward to welcoming many more learners over the next few years.
“Remember that all Academy courses are completely free to vets and vet nurses, that we aim to help you fit your learning around busy day-to-day schedules and that completed courses can count towards your annual continuing professional development (CPD) requirements, with direct links to the 1CPD platform so you can easily record and reflect on your learning.”
