Welcome to Professional VisionCare’s optometric assistant training module.

We are so excited for you to begin your department specific training exclusive for Optometric Assistants (“OA”)! This module training is just the starting point for your position specific training, as once you complete it, you will begin full time training “on the floor,” which is our fancy way of saying during patient care. As you go through this training-it will probably be A LOT of info to absorb, and some of it might be difficult to understand until you see it in action with a patient. The purpose of this training module is to PREP you with the necessary information, terminology, and protocols, so that when you do start your training on the floor-you will already be familiar with what your trainer is talking about. We like to think of the training process as building blocks-instead of dumping you right into training all at once, we like to add piece by piece so that your chances of success are at an all time high!

How does this training work?

We tried to make it as simple as possible: Each day when you come in at your scheduled time, you will simply log onto a computer and click on the first module listed below (the Intro module). Once you click on it, it will have either a written training, video training, cumulative checkpoint quiz, or often times it will have all three! Your job is to read/watch/test yourself with each component in the module, and once you feel like you have a good understanding of the content in that module, move onto the next module listed!

Each training module has either a written training, a video training, a checkpoint quiz, or a combo of those components. You should always start with the written training, and then watch the video unless specified otherwise. When it’s time for the quiz portion, complete the quiz without looking over any training resources-no cheating! :D These quizzes are a tool to see how much you retained from the training, and once you complete the quiz, you can pull up the answer sheet in the module to grade your own test. You will be responsible to grade your own tests for each module. If you get less than 90% of the questions correct on the quizzes, please re-do the entire module—remember the point is to learn this stuff so you can be super successful! Your quiz responses will be automatically sent to your manager, so they can see your progress through the modules, and just to help with accountability in completing each module as assigned.

Some modules also have an additional training activities such as vocabulary lists (which you will need to make flash cards for). Materials for these activities can be found in our supply cabinets at each office, and ask a team member if you are unable to locate what you need.

IMPORTANT: in order to complete each module successfully, you will need to work on this training module program OFF of the server (do not log onto the PVC server to complete, or else you won’t be able to hear the sound in the video).
