CE Course Accreditation

The Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science offers live, interactive online CE courses (synchronous virtual), live in-person CE programs, and on-demand online (asynchronous virtual) CE courses.

Our interactive online lectures meet the live, in-person CE requirements of the California State Board of Optometry and are considered 'Synchronous Virtual' learning by COPE. As of May 2020, California licensees may complete all of their required CE hours using live online courses. Attendees from states outside of California should verify if their state board accepts COPE-accredited 'Synchronous Virtual' CE. For live online events, attendees are able to interact with the speaker and ask questions in real-time via Zoom video conference.
Our asynchronous, online lectures meet the 'self-study' CE coursework requirements of the California State Board of Optometry. The CA Board accepts up to 20 hours of CE earned through the completion of our accredited asynchronous courses. These courses are COPE-accredited as 'Asynchronous Virtual' format CE, which includes a required post-course test. Attendees from states outside of California should verify if their state board accepts COPE-accredited 'Asynchronous Virtual' CE. ARBO has collected the CE requirements for most regulatory boards in the U.S. and Canada at www.arbo.org/cestateinfo.
Our live, in-person programs meet the live, in-person CE requirements of the California State Board of Optometry and are considered 'Synchronous In-Person' learning by COPE.
