Name change for ABDO CET

Alex Webster

From the start of April 2020, ABDO CET will become known as ABDO CPD.

“For over a year now we have been supporting our members towards a general culture change from thinking about continuing education and training (CET) to contemplating continuing professional development (CPD),” explained ABDO head of CET, Alex Webster.

“Although CET is a huge part of life-long learning, as professionals regulated by the General Optical Council, adopting a CPD approach will enable members to not only maintain our professional regulated responsibilities – but help foster a comprehensive approach in professional growth and development too.

“ABDO is commited to supporting members with attaining at least the minimum CET requirements and this will remain unchanged,” Alex continued. “Provision of CET will continue to include the regular CET distance learning articles in Dispensing Optics, interactive CET webinars and when possible again, post Covid-19 disruptions, regional CET events.”
