^{ABDO College}

Employers were encouraged to contact ABDO College to help support the launch of a new apprenticeship programme for dispensing opticians, with a planned September 2024 launch, subject to GOC approval by the end of July.

The Department of Education recently approved ABDO College to be an apprenticeship provider for the Level 6 Dispensing Optician Apprenticeship Standard with traditional route students and apprentices following the same programme structure and approach.

Nina McDermott, ABDO College principal, said: ‘I am proud to have led the College through its successful application to become an apprenticeship provider. This is testament to the strength of our academic programmes and ABDO College as a whole.’
