What’s more, interactive components create a fun and engaging learning experience that promotes knowledge retention.

At the end of the program, participants are tested on their overall comprehension through an online certification exam. Earning the CEP credential supports your staff’s growth and development, putting them on track to building a successful, rewarding eyecare career.
