Overseas Users

A registrant based overseas wishing to remain on the register has a number of options:

1. A registrant based overseas can use distance learning products from UK providers to complete their CET and gain 36 points over 3 years. (There is nothing to stop a non-UK provider registering and submitting their products for CET points).
   
2. The following schemes are recognised as providing an appropriate quality assurance mechanism and their CET events can be used to gain CET points, if you inform us in advance of the events you wish to attend.
   
   You can do this by logging in and completing the onscreen form under the My CET menu.
   
   The schemes are:
   COPE (USA)
   OAA (Australia)
   HPCSA (South Africa) - category one activities only
   New Zealand Association of Optometrists.
   
   
3. You can apply to have an event approved for CET which is not covered by these schemes. You need to do this well in advance. To do this you need to inform us by email and we will send you instructions manager@cetoptics.com
   
   
4. As an overseas user please utilise the standard CET User registration page simply indicating your overseas status when prompted.
   
   

PLEASE NOTE - Some CET which has been approved by the approved schemes may not be accredited for the UK GOC CET Scheme, so you may not get CET points.
