Dick,
I could not see that this program is COA acreditted or not, I will guess that it is not based on this. If this is correct, then students in the US should consider AAS degree programs delivered by schools covered by the COA. This could include education delivered through brick and mortar schools, online/apprenticeship or a hybrid of the two. The challenge of not having the COA backed degree is in several license states where schooling is a must, or where the degree can be used to eliminate some of the apprenticeship time needed in order to earn the right to sit for the state boards.

Good luck to the future opticians...
