ABDO Examinations and Registration, The Old Dairy, Godmersham Park, Godmersham, Canterbury, Kent CT 4 7DT.

I would like to wish you a very warm welcome to the Examinations & Registration Department. Currently the Association offers five qualifications: The Association is very proud to be recognised as an awarding body by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority.

At present the Association is working towards having all its qualifications accredited on the National Framework.

We are very proud to announce that the regulatory authorities (QCA in England, DELLS in Wales and CEA in Northern Ireland) have accredited the ABDO Diploma in Ophthalmic Dispensing at level 6 on the National Qualifications Framework. This is equivalent to a Bachelors Degree with Honours or graduate certificates and graduate diplomas.

As a member of the Association, you can be assured that your qualifications will be regulated because our members and employees want qualifications that are appropriate, of high quality, valued and respected.
