Participants are required to be in a course 50 minutes for every one hour of education for credit. If you are more than 10 minutes late for a one-hour course or 20 minutes late for a two-hour course, you will not be allowed to enter the room. 

Participants must remain in the session room until the completion of the course. Should it be necessary to leave the room at any time, you must return within 10 minutes. If you do not return within 10 minutes, the course monitor is directed not to allow you back in the course, and you will not receive CE credit. 

Earning CE credit requires being scanned into the course AND completing the course survey via the credit claiming platform, available at the end of the course. This two-step process allows you to move more seamlessly between your courses while still providing substantive evidence of your full attendance in a course.

Please make sure you consult the CE schedule to verify if the course qualifies for the credit type you are seeking. Optometry’s Meeting® | 5th World Congress of Optometry offers AOA CE Hours, CPC, CPD, COPE and CEE/TQ courses. 

Step-by-step credit claiming instructions will be made available closer to the event.

Additional details on accessing the online examinations will be made available close to the event. NOTE: Tests are only available for 60 days from the time you receive the testing notification from ICO; no exceptions or extensions can be granted.
