Welcome to our Optician training and contact lens fitting website. We are Canada's first post-secondary facility providing instruction in these areas exclusively. The BC College of Optics, a private College, is unique. Founded in 1984, BC College of Optics gives British Columbians an opportunity to receive hands-on, in-house learning as an alternative to an existing distance-learning apprenticeship course or a two (2)-year Public College Diploma program.
