Just got a rather unsettling e-mail from The NC Board of Opticians. Apparently, our state board is no longer going to be responsible for giving the licensure exams. They are handing it off to the National testing agency: ABO-NCLE. The new tests will be NOCE, ABOP, CLRE, NCLP.
Anyone care to comment and/or speculate on what these changes might mean? Because everyone I know who became licensed in NC worked pretty darned hard to get that much respected license. Will these new licenses be easier to obtain? Will a slew of newly (national) licensed opticians flood the North Carolina job market?
Feeling a bit queasy here.
