Hello everyone,
I just wanted to share my ABO/NCLE rewiew experience with you!
I sat for the ABO and the NCLE review over the weekend, Held by the Professional Opticians of Florida, at the West Coast Better Vision Conferece, in Tampa.
Joe Simmons did the ABO review.. He was excellent, anything i did not know going into the room, i knew on the way out. It was WELL worth the money, and the travel expenses. I would love to have him again for the State Board Review. He sent us out with test tips, and i am fully confident i will pass the test.
Now, for the NCLE review.. This was another story...
Ufortunately it was NOT worth the money.
The instructor.. Jane Buckland, i think..... did not have any idea what class she was teaching. It was the most dissapointing day. We found out half way through the 6 hour class, she thought we were a class full of Lic. Opticians. She asked us several times, who was licensed and also if were were going to get our NCLE Fellow. She mentioned several times, that we were there for our CE hours. She obliously though she was teaching the Advanced certification NCLE class. We all walked out with the most confused looks on our faces. Along with several other, i will call the POF tomorrow to complain. This is so dissapointing, i really needed the review since i am taking the test in less than 2 weeks. (I just wanted to clarify... Jane was extreamly
qualified, and knew more than i would EVER wat to know about fitting contact lenses. I honestly think she didn't not know she had a room full of people who were perparing for the NCLE, and not there for there CE hours)
Hopefully i can get some answers from the POF on what exactly happened. I wasted too much money on hotels, fee's and GAS to not learn what i needed to!:angry:
Thanks to Joe Simmons, you ROCK!! Hope to see you for the State Board review!!
