The CPE program is a system of accrediting
and acknowledging your continuing post graduate professional training.
A Certificate of Currency lets the public and professional bodies
know that you have undertaken activities to further your education
relevant to orthoptics.
A Certificate of Currency is offered
to registrants of the AOB based on submission of continuing professional
education credits gained in the two-year cycle of AOB registration.
The CPE program uses a system of points
allocation. The number of points required to qualify for the Certificate
of Currency is 50 points to be gained from at least two of four
categories over the two year registration period. (Further information
on categories and points: Points
Allocation guidelines)
An effort has been made to ensure that
points should be attainable by all interested orthoptists regardless
of work place or location.
The CPE program will change and evolve
over time allowing it to be responsive to the different circumstances
and opportunities available to registrants undertaking the program.
The Board will review the program and
points allocation system taking into consideration feedback received
from registrants which will be an important aspect of the program's
ongoing development.
