This certificate program, the first of it's kind in Canada, enables you to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to function as an ophthalmic assistant, providing quality care under the supervision of a registered Ophthalmologist. The program is accredited by the International Council of Accreditation (ICA) as a training program at the ophthalmic non-clinical assistant level. Completion of the program will help prepare you to write the Certified Ophthalmic Assistant (COA) exam, and reduces the number of work experience hours you need to become a COA through ICA.
