CET Zone
The CET Zone contains all the current DOCET training materials. Here you can:
- watch or listen to the latest DOCET training materials
- access related multiple choice questions (MCQs) to gain CET points
CET Zone resources are available only to optometrists currently registered with the GOC. To access these materials you will need to login using your GOC number and date of birth. (Please note: GOC numbers must be entered with the prefix and hyphen, eg. 01-12345). If you experience any problems with your login please contact enquiries@docet.info
If you are not registered as an optometrist with the GOC you can still access previous DOCET material by visiting the Archive area, which is available to everyone to view. All DOCET materials will be transferred to the Archive after a period of one year in the CET Zone.
