The General Optical Council (GOC) will host a webinar on 14 December to advise registrants on the move from Continuing Education and Training (CET) to the new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme.
On 1 January 2022, the regulator’s CET scheme will be replaced by the new CPD scheme.
The new scheme is expected to be less prescriptive, providing registrants with more freedom to tailor their learning and development to their interests and scope of practice.
Registrants are invited to join the GOC’s Zoom webinar to learn more about the reason for the change to CPD and what this will mean for optical professionals.
The GOC also plans to discuss the new requirements, which will be introduced to make the scheme more flexible.
A summary of the CPD scheme and its requirements can be found in the GOC’s new registrant guide.
Registrants can sign up online to attend the GOC’s virtual event on 14 December at 5pm.
