How Roopesh Empowers Future Optometrists with Online Courses

Roopesh: an Experienced Supervisor and Trainer

In the UK, after graduating with an optometry degree, students must complete a "pre-registration" year to become fully qualified optometrists. During this year, they work under the supervision of a registered optometrist in a practice or hospital, learning to apply their skills in real-life situations.

Today's creator, Roopesh, is one of those supervisors. He has supervised more than 20 pre-reg optometrists in the last 20 years and has a unique understanding of the pre-registration process, and the study & work of optometrists.

The year-long pre-registration process typically consists of supervised clinical practice, and regular competency assessments, and ends with an examination (OSCE, Objective Structured Clinical Examination). Pre-reg optometrists must pass the exam to begin practicing independently.

As a supervisor, Roopesh has assisted more than 20 optometrists during their year of pre-registration and found the process quite ineffective.

"I realized that I was saying the same things year after year and thought I could just create some videos for the new optometrists to watch as the repetition was large and frankly tiresome to keep repeating the same things year after year."

This was when the vision of becoming a leading provider of education for optometrists came to life. Roopesh went ahead and looked for course platforms and began developing the content for his upcoming training.

Every pre-reg optometrist's best friend

Roopesh has turned his experience as an optometrist and mentor into a series of specialized courses designed to guide new optometrists through their year of pre-registration. Understanding that the journey to becoming a qualified optometrist can be challenging and complex, Roopesh has developed clear, structured courses that break down each stage of the process into manageable steps.

His courses cover everything from the initial competencies that new optometrists must master to more advanced topics like contact lens fitting and the important final exams. Each course is crafted with the learner in mind, offering practical advice, useful resources, and a systematic approach to mastering the necessary skills.

When asked about what makes his courses stand out, Roopesh says, "Whilst there are competitors in this field, I have found the Forento creation to provide a much cleaner interface for learners."

Forento is not only easy to use as a creator, but it provides a clear and user-friendly platform for your students and members. This allows you to focus on creating valuable content, while your students focus on learning.

"Ultimately, if learners are happy, they drive word-of-mouth recommendations" - Roopesh

What makes Roopesh’s courses stand out is their focus on efficiency and clarity. He has gathered years of repetitive, essential knowledge and distilled it into easily digestible videos and resources.

By identifying a need and leveraging Forento’s user-friendly platform, Roopesh, and his team have successfully transformed his expertise into a scalable educational resource. The platform acts as a hub, a best friend to newly graduated optometrists during their year of pre-registration.

The prereg.com platform offers a total of twelve courses, two exams, five videos, and hundreds of resources as well as coaching sessions. These resources are meant to support students for a whole year and are sold both as individual products and as subscription memberships.

Roopesh highlights the practical benefits of Forento: “With my previous course software, I was always under pressure due to high ongoing costs. I was constantly chasing new customers just to cover running costs.” The ease of use and reasonable pricing of Forento’s Start plan alleviated these concerns, allowing Roopesh to focus on what he does best: creating valuable educational content.
