On-Line Courses

Opticians & Optometrists,

Welcome to our new website!  We currently have several courses that were free in the past due to grant funding. Unfortunately the grant expired in 2009 however the courses are still valid.  In order to continue offering the courses we are instituting a fee of $15 to take a course which covers reporting results. All courses are reported to ABO-NCLE & COPE the first week of the following month. Please make sure that you are connected to a printer prior to taking the exam. Once you have successfully passed the course you will be able to download and print a certificate of completion. The certificate cannot be retrieved by you or our office at a later date.  

We have added 5 new courses April 2011 which have more flexibility in retrieving data and printing certificates. These courses are $15 each and are all COPE approved. Please review the expiration date and approving body prior to taking a course. All courses are approved for 1 hour of credit.

After registering for the grandfathered courses you will receive confirmation of your payment but you cannot take the course until we provide you with a username and password for the course.  It is a manual process but we will send you this information the following business day after you have registered.  We apologize for the slight delay.   The first 5 courses listed are newer and can be taken in their entirety immediately.

Optometrists: Please keep in mind that the Florida Board does not accept on-line courses for Continuing Education credit. Please  verify your state requirements prior to taking courses.
