Optician Training is designed to provide accurate and up-to-date information for the benefit of beginners and experienced professionals alike. Whether you are exploring optician training as a gateway to a new career, or are seeking to enhance your existing career, we are here to help you along your path.

The optical industry is one of the strongest specialties in healthcare. With both a medical branch and a retail arm, the optical industry is uniquely positioned to experience high levels of revenue. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the demand for opticians will increase by 29 percent from 2010 to 2020. This rapid rate of growth is much faster than the average for all other occupations. You probably guessed that this growth is largely attributable to an aging population.

There is no better time than the present to consider a career as an optician.

We realize that many visitors might not know what is required, or which steps need to be taken in order to take advantage of such a great opportunity.

In addition, those of you who are already opticians or optical technicians, may be searching for additional training to advance your career, but don’t know what types of training are available or where it is offered.

Optician Training was created to provide a comprehensive resource to help guide you.
