Our courses are COPE (Council on Optometric Practitioner Education) approved and accepted nationwide for license renewal. A reference list of State CE Requirements can be found on the COPE website at www.arbo.org/cope. Not all states accept internet courses for CE credit, therefore we advise you to check with your State Board of Optometry for complete eligibility requirements.
