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.
In 1972 Mabel Dunham of Burnaby received her Bachelor of Education and Adult Education diploma at UBC; she was over sixty years of age at the time. Convinced other people her age would also be interested in furthering their education it became Mabel's mission to structure a self-help college.
The Surrey campus of the Academy of Learning is located across the Newton Bus Exchange. We offer courses in accounting, office administration, health care, IT, home inspection, web design and more. Please drop by, see our website, or call us for more information on our certificates and diplomas.
