The Optician program is designed to provide students with practical and experiential learning with a focus on active student participation and hands-on practice.
Theory courses are delivered through lecture, small group discussion, case studies, demonstrations, guest speakers, student presentations and individual/group assignments. Students apply the theory in the lab courses, consolidated practice experiences and final preceptorship.
The lab components of the program provides the student with the opportunity to integrate practice and theory in a fully functioning Opticianry lab, where students gain hands-on skills in a real-world setting. Lab instructional strategies include videos, demonstration, clinical simulation, and hands-on practice.
Terms two and three are supported by a Consolidated Practice Experience (CPE) which reinforces the learning that has taken place within each term.
Term four includes a final preceptorship which prepares the student for the role and expectations of the graduate.
In addition to the diploma, students will also receive one or more industry-relevant certifications.
