'This is a landmark moment,' says Kirsteen Newman, senior manager for dispensing and accredited training at Specsavers. Kirsteen chaired the trailblazer group that played a key role in developing the new dispensing optician apprenticeship, and stated that it opens up dispensing optician careers to more people, helping meet the profession’s workforce challenge, which will benefit patients 👏
ABDO has received approval from the General Optical Council (GOC) to begin delivering its Level 6 Dispensing Optician Apprenticeship from September 2024.
