Optician apprenticeship Training

Congratulations on your decision to enter into an amazing industry! The optical and optometric field is in high demand for Opticians and the job market in 2022 continues to be filled with open positions. With the way the optical industry has transformed itself into a more fashion forward and more technologically advanced field, it shows no signs of slowing down. What this means for you is that there will always be a need for your position! The decision to obtain your certification and licensing not only gives you an edge on other job applicants, but if you play your cards right, you will have an amazing and long-lasting career that is ever-changing. You will never get bored!

The Vision Parlor provides hands-on Optician Training in addition to guiding future Opticians on how to study and prepare for their ABO Examination, offered by the American Board of Opticianry, prior to becoming a Registered Spectacle Lens Dispenser in the State of California.

WHY THE NEED?

Turnovers within the industry has been extremely high in the last 5 years and the reason is due to untrained Opticians. There aren't many Optician Work Programs providing hands-on training, discouraging many individuals to enter the field.
