This place has been such a great resource for knowledge. I've many times been humbled by so many here. Without ALL of you guys and gal's help, I wouldn't be able to announce that I have successfully passed the ABO-AC exam.

I want to particularly thank Harry C. ....Harry, it's with your help and inspiration that I got off my rear to better myself as an optician. I owe ya a case or two!

The friends I've made here are the greatest. Long Live Optiboard!

Pass rates are very poor, and to hear that you and Wes have both passed is exciting. Now......we need good educators. Please consider sharing with tos around you. I kow Wes has already, and I hope you will as well.

A heartfelt congratulations to you both.

According to one of the staff at AB0/NCLE, the pass rate is around 10 percent. Sounds good to me; adds to the prestige of the certification.

I have ABO approval as a level III technical speaker and plan on submitting some classes after I finish my master paper. I also plan to apply for NCLE speaker approval as well. Maybe then I can break into the educational circuit.
