The OPTICAL TRAINING ACADEMY The Optical Training Academy (OTA) was established by the Opticians Assoc. of Georgia in April 2K7 - by the OAG Board of Directors - in an effort to be of service to the Georgia opticianry community particularly apprentice/trainees as they prepared for the ABO/NCLE examination that are part of the pre-requisites to be a licensed optician in Georgia.

To learn more, click HERE.

 
The NCLE exam prep class will NOT be offered this fall, but will be available in the spring 2K10

 

From the President...

The schedule is set for the fall meeting in Savannah. Further information and registration will be posted shortly at www.oagonline.org . We will have a total of 11 hours of which 10 will be ABO/NCLE. The other hour at issue is 1hr. on Georgia law which is valid for Georgia license renewal but is not an ABO accredited course. As a rule law classes are not accredited for ABO purposes as they are considered a state matter. The c.e. classes will be on Sat. and Sun. the 7 & 8th of November at the Mulberry Inn in Savannah.
