Thank you for your interest in the
National Academy of Opticianry. We'd like you to know that our primary
mission is to: “provide quality education and training to ALL opticians”.
Our Academy members support our mission through their annual dues investment
of $75.00. They make it possible for us to develop and distribute
education and training to members and
non-members alike! So, in order to show our appreciation to our members,
we provide that same quality education and training to members at steeply
discounted “members-only” pricing!
Here
are some examples of the money members are saving:
- Publications including National
Certification Exam Preparation materials at
a 45% savings
- Continuing Education
Courses at a 35% savings
- Sales on books and CEC’s,
cutting members-only discounts even more to a 50% savings
- Educational seminars with
a total of 80 continuing education hours each year at a 60% savings
