Program types
Four ways to learn.
- Fellowship programs
Advanced clinical learning programs designed to enhance professional knowledge, practical skills, and clinical competency in optometry.
- Certification programs
Structured learning programs that strengthen subject-specific knowledge and practical skills in specialised areas of eye care.
- Short-term clinical workshops
Focused, interactive, skill-based hands-on training sessions that give practical exposure to modern optometric techniques, equipment and diagnostic techniques, to improve clinical practice.
- Continuing Medical Education (CME)
Educational sessions designed to support continuous professional learning and keep eye care professionals updated on current clinical practices and advancements.
Certificates and accreditation
Fellowship certificates are awarded on successful completion of the prescribed program requirements. Completion of a professional training program does not, by itself, confer a statutory licence, specialist registration, or additional legal scope of practice.
We only describe a program as accredited when the accrediting body has approved it — and we name that body on the program page.
