NCLE Basic Course (CLRE Test)
Our fearless leader Mike Robinson has been dreaming this course up for a while. While Mike has been busy, the team here at OME have been hard at work making sure we get all the pieces in place to continue supporting opticians.
The course will run 8-10 weeks and cover all the necessary topics for the NCLE test. Come prepared to study and contribute as we build this course out together with a proven methodology.
