    ABO and ABO Advanced Exam prep/training

    I just published my Optician Essentials & Advanced Exam Practice Test on AMAZON.COM. It features a large bank of practice questions derived from the latest (October 2013) ABO Advanced Exam. Also detailed sections explaining many topics that are on the exams. Including equations, prisms, anatomy, business management, etc... Each section has worked through examples.

    This book is also a great training support reference to get green opticians up to speed on the competitive optical field.

    I also give in person targeted training sessions. If interested just PM me (local area only, Phoenix metro)

    By the Way (thanks Wes for the background suggestion)
    My background is over seven years in optical and 10 years in retail management. I have worked in a big box retail setting, full surface lab, large OD/MD practice, ophthalmic surgical center, and independent OD boutique. I have a BS in chemistry and am working on a BS in Physics/Optics. I am an AZ LDO, ABO Advanced, NCLC. I am also a technical author for ABO and NCLE for CE courses. And I am a astronomy enthusiast and currently starting a year long blog project to make Galiliean and Dobsonian telescopes

    You may have more luck with your sales if you told us about your background.

    If you look it up on Amazon's website, it states that the second edition does correct editorial miscues from the first edition, including adding pages number and table of contents index. Price doesn't look too bad

    Congratulations! We need well-qualified people out there providing training for our very ill-prepared group of folks. Most who go through what is referred to as an "apprenticeship" really get nothing, except a small paycheck. I wish you great success.

    I am going to order this when I can get the chance. Given the price and considering I have to wait until 2018 to take the Advanced Examination, I will have plenty of time to look it over

    Well, the Amazon description doesn't specify which editorial problems were addressed in the 2nd Edition. I still plan on purchasing it regardless :)
