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.
The aim of PACE College is providing quality education at an affordable cost, and not for making profit. We are now incorporated as a non-profit society in Canada. Our goal is to help students achieve their full academic potential. We have trained over 3000 students since 2010, of which about 90% are gainfully employed and contributing to Canada's economy. We take pride in providing a congenial learning environment with very competent instructors and friendly and professional administrative and support staff. We continue to add more courses in Business, Hospitality, Health and Information & Technology. We welcome all, irrespective of income and knowledge, to join us at PACE.
