For people who don’t want to stop learning about a trade at the secondary level, continuing education or further education (in England and Ireland) is the path that should be taken. For those who wish to inspect eyes for a living, optometry is the career choice and if by chance you are past you, university or college age and still wish to ply your trade then optometric continuing education may be a healthy choice.

First, there is no shame in enrolling in a continuing education course, as this is very different from adult education that teaches basic literacy, arithmetic and language skills.

Whom is this for?

Optometric continuing education or continuing education in general is intended for those who for some reason have passed the normal university or college age and still wish to enter in a particular job market. Such a course safely assumes that one has the required basic skills and merely stops the present hiatus in education.

Obviously, it will not be regarded as a degree similar to what a medical school offers but a college offering optometric ce courses does at the end of the course issue a certificate or degree that renders the holder eligible to enter the vocation and to be trusted with eyes.

There are many colleges in the continental US that are set up specifically for those interested in optometry. All of these colleges have websites that can be checked out on the net. In addition, these colleges offer various certificate or degree courses that can be enrolled for by those that have probably passed their prime.

Optometric continuing education programs can be completed online as well as offline depending on the person’s suitability and they can also availed by optometrists that are already doing a degree course as an enhancement to their primary degree course.
