About PeppercornMedia
PeppercornMedia is a founder-led eLearning development studio created to help organisations turn training content into clear, practical and professionally built online learning materials.
The business is led by Simon Peppercorn, an eLearning developer and training design professional with over 20 years of experience in the Australian Vocational Education and Training sector.

Practical learning design, without the agency bloat
PeppercornMedia exists for organisations that need online learning built properly, but do not necessarily need a large agency, a complex project team or an over-engineered solution.
The focus is on clear structure, plain-English content, professional visual design and practical materials that can be used in real learning environments.
Built on VET sector experience
Simon’s background in the Australian VET sector gives PeppercornMedia a strong understanding of structured learning, learner support, compliance-aware materials and the need for training resources that are both usable and defensible.
That experience is especially useful for RTOs, but the business is not limited to RTO work. PeppercornMedia develops eLearning materials across industry types.
What PeppercornMedia does, and where it stops
What PeppercornMedia does
- custom eLearning development
- Storyline and Rise modules
- SCORM-ready learning materials
- learner guide refreshes
- PowerPoint to eLearning conversion
- knowledge checks and scenario activities
- LMS-ready packaging and support
Better handled by someone else
These activities sit outside the studio’s scope. Knowing where the boundary is helps projects stay focused.
- training delivery
- formal training needs analysis
- assessment decision-making
- acting as an RTO compliance consultant
- hosting or running an LMS on behalf of clients
A practical approach
Every project starts with what the client already has and what the learning needs to become. Sometimes that is a full module build. Sometimes it is a course clean-up, a learner guide refresh, a SCORM package or a set of knowledge checks.
The aim is to make the material clearer, more usable and more suitable for online delivery.
