ALEXANDRIA, Va.—To extend the reach of its divisional continuing education (CE) courses, The Vision Council has developed an online CE platform for eyecare professionals. The goal of this platform is to enhance the skills and knowledge of eyecare professionals which will increase the sell through of products, reduce returns and expand revenue opportunities for both members and their accounts.

Members of The Vision Council have the opportunity to purchase online CE vouchers at a significantly reduced rate to reward accounts or to attract new business.

“Providing complimentary CE vouchers to your accounts is an added value that can set your company apart from the rest,” said Rene Soltis, senior director of meetings and education for The Vision Council. “Instead of offering doughnuts or lunch, equipping your sales team with CE vouchers for their customers shows that you value and believe in their professional development.”

Custom CE vouchers with your company name and special code for tracking can be purchased for $5 each in packs of 250 (members-only pricing). The vouchers are good for one year and provide the recipient with one hour of free web-based ABO-approved continuing education for each voucher, a $15 value to your account.

The current online offerings, available at www.thevisioncouncil.org/ecp/ce, consist of high quality, product generic content and are designed to engage the learner and get results. Each course is delivered in an interactive manner and supported by audio, video, and print to address a variety of adult learning styles.

For information on the voucher program or to learn how you can custom design and sponsor your own branded online continuing education course(s), please contact Soltis at [email protected].
