The College of Optometrists

I shall be starting the new system pqe's in a few weeks. I shall be a few weeks behind in starting than other students so does that mean my college assesor will still be coming at the same time as the others or it will be later?

when we did the practice scheme last yr i started late so my assessor came few weeks later (which i needed!). but then for following visits he came around the same time depends on flexibility of ur assessor. but im not 100% sur as for you lot its for real whereas mines was practice. phone ur assessor & ask them questions they are really helpful! hope that helps good luck with ur pre-reg.

It depends on your start date really. If you start later, then yes your visits will be later than everyone else. Your assessor will agree the dates of the visits with you after the inital meeting. If you have any concerns feel free to contact the College.

Thanks guys!

Def need the luck Uttam!

Havent been able to get hold of my assesor but shall keep trying. Im just worried that I wont be ready for the first visit.

you know what no matter how much u prepare for the visits u still won't know enough. dont get worried by this cos its good - your on a learnin curve and will know from the visits what u need to read up on or practice. then hopefuly learn it / practice it before the actual pqes :)
