This guide explains how to create a new Course within the Clubnest dashboard. Courses allow you to structure educational content into sections and segments, upload related materials, manage registrations, and handle risk assessments.
Getting Started
- Log into the admin dashboard.
- Navigate to Learning Management > Courses.
- Click Create to start adding a new course.
The course creation form is split into multiple steps using a wizard interface. Each step is outlined below.
Step 1: Course Overview
This step gathers the essential course details.
- Title
Enter the course title. This will be visible on the website. - Slug
Automatically generated from the title. You can manually edit it if needed. - Description
Write a short overview of the course (up to 1500 characters). This should describe the course purpose and who it is for. - Open for Registration
Enable this to allow users to register for the course. If disabled, the course will be viewable but not bookable. - Course Image
Upload a main image to visually represent the course. - Image Gallery
Upload multiple images to showcase the course environment, past sessions, or related visuals. - SEO Settings
Configure the SEO title, description, author, and indexing rules to improve search engine visibility.
Step 2: Course Structure
Define the layout of the course by adding one or more sections, each containing learning segments.
Each Section should include:
- Section Title
The name of the section (e.g. "Week 1: Introduction to Pole Fishing").
Each Segment within a section should include:
- Segment Title
The name of the segment or lesson. - Learning Time (Minutes)
Enter the estimated time (in minutes) required to complete the segment. - Segment Description
Provide educational content or guidance for the segment. This can include instructions, examples, or learning objectives.
You can add as many sections and segments as needed.
Step 3: Coach Resources
Upload any course files that should be privately available to coaches. These resources are not visible to public users.
- Coach Resources
You can upload multiple files. These might include lesson plans, printable materials, or internal notes.
Step 4: Risk Assessment
Use this step to document health and safety risks associated with the course.
Static Risk Assessment
Used for known or predictable risks. For each risk, provide:
- Risk Description
- Risk Cause
- Severity (Low, Medium, High)
- Risk Mitigation
- New Severity (after mitigation)
- Submitted By (auto-filled with your name)
- Created On (auto-filled with today’s date)
Dynamic Risk Assessment
Used for on-the-day or unexpected risks. Fields are similar to static risks and should be completed during or immediately after course delivery if issues arise.
Step 5: Course Reviews
This section shows reviews submitted by users who completed the course. It is read-only and allows you to moderate review status.
Each review includes:
- User Name (auto-filled)
- Review Content (text submitted by the participant)
- Approval Status (Pending Approval, Approved, Rejected)
You can update the status of each review to control what appears on the frontend.
Saving and Managing the Course
After completing all steps:
- Click Create to save the course.
- The course will now appear in the Courses list.
- You can edit or delete the course at any time by selecting the appropriate action from the list view.
Best Practices
- Use clear, structured section and segment titles to improve learner understanding.
- Keep the description concise but informative.
- Ensure that all risks are accurately documented before course delivery.
- Regularly review and approve user-submitted feedback.
- Keep coach resources up-to-date and relevant.
