COBC website outage

If you've tried to visit cobc.ca over the past few weeks, you might have noticed out-of-date content or even encountered an error message. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.

While our team works to get our website back up to date, we encourage you to bookmark and use these convenient links:

Opticians Login, where you can access your COBC account (including your CCP workspace)

Registrant Directory, where you can look up the status of any Licensed Optician

Vacancy on the COBC Board

Are you a Licensed Optician in the Okanagan or Kootenays area? Are you interested in becoming more involved in the regulation of opticians in BC? Apply to join the COBC Board!

Because COBC did not receive enough applications by the deadline, our new board member will be appointed rather than elected. This means that it is no longer necessary to complete a nomination form; you can simply apply for consideration by contacting us!

Is your CCP cycle ending soon?

If you are currently in the third and final year of your continuing education cycle, you must fulfill all the requirements of your Continuing Competency Program (CCP) no later than December 31, 2021.

This program is self-managed, so you are responsible for ensuring that all steps have been completed in the online system.

Did you know?

Opticians are required by the Standards of Practice to verify vision appliances before they are dispensed. Verification must be completed against the original prescription, the assessment record, or another authorizing document for the client.
