About DOCET
Optometrists today work in a rapidly changing professional environment. Keeping knowledge and skills up to date through continuing education and training (CET) is essential to ensure that the services optometrists provide are fit for purpose and to assure the public of the continuing competence of practitioners.
The Directorate of Optometric Continuing Education and Training (DOCET) is a special Committee that was set up by the Department of Health in 1989 to oversee the management of government funds set aside for the provision of optometric continuing education and training for all UK registered optometrists
DOCET produces and distributes award-winning distance learning materials, including video and audio media and e-learning. Visit the CET Zone and Archive to access the wide variety of available DOCET training resources.
DOCET also provides financial assistance to help local optometric groups and communties who want to run their own CET courses, meetings or events. Visit the Funding pages on this site to find out more about the financial help available and how to apply.
