Dear Quebec ECPS,

As the Founder of the Academy of Ophthalmic Education (AOE)  and as Chairman of the Centre de perfectionnement et de reference en optométrie (CPRO), we are honoured and pleased to announce that AOE and CPRO have reached an agreement to jointly offer COPE approved CE courses for Quebec Optometrists starting January 11, 2021. Presently, AOE has 170 hours of COPE approved video courses on-demand, accessible anytime, anywhere. AOE is also offering ongoing live interactive webinars on a regular basis. Some of the webinars are FREE. CPRO will be providing you regular updates and announcements on our upcoming webinars and communications. Finally, we will have a Canadian company officially approved CE provider by COPE and CPRO will be offering you CE courses at your convenience and at your leisure 24/7. The revenue generated is shared with CPRO and helps us in offering the FREE access program for the students of Optometry. Welcome to AOE. Our staff is ready to answer any and all queries and welcomes you.

Sincerely,

On-demand is one of our education formats where you can watch pre-recorded videos at your convenience, take a short quiz at the end of each video (you can retake a quiz if you don’t pass) and instantly receive a certificate of completion. If you’re an optometrist with an OE Tracker account, we’ll submit your hours to ARBO for you.

170+ COPE Accredited Hours for Optometrists*

80+ College of Opticians of Ontario and NACOR Accredited Hours for Opticians*

*Hours many vary as courses expire and new courses are added monthly
