The Scheme for Registration helps you to develop your skills and knowledge in the workplace. It is your route to becoming a fully qualified optometrist and is approved by the General Optical Council.
There are three parts to the Scheme: Stage One, Stage Two and the OSCE, and you have 2 years and 3 months to complete the Scheme, although many trainees complete it in 15 months. Watch our video for more information.
