Optical Coherence Tomography
I took part in the Fdn Deg in OCT. This course really did help solidify my existing knowledge and help expand it on some specialities. It is also fantastic to finally have the formal educational to help support any future role development which has been lacking in the ophthalmic technician/ photographer roles.
Foundation Degree in OCT
Kent and Canterbury Hospital, UK
As an experienced ophthalmic technician, I was excited to discover a nationally recognised qualification totally relevant to my role. The structure of the course, combining ophthalmic anatomy and physiology along with practical tasks, has enabled me to fully understand the theory and practice of OCT. This has enhanced my skills by giving me confidence in my ability to acquire the most appropriate scans, of the best possible quality, for every patient.
Certificate of Higher Education in OCT Capture
James Paget University Hospital, UK
The OCT capture course has been the perfect qualification to help consolidate my knowledge of OCT capture as well as providing the perfect foundation to build my knowledge of image interpretation. So many other Healthcare scientists have been looking for a course to help standardise some of the themes affiliated with OCT capture and this is the perfect short course to help provide a good introduction.

As an ophthalmic technician, working in the imaging area has been always very exciting. This Cert HE in OCT Capture has given me new tools to boost my professional career and to have better understanding of the methods to obtain better images which is helping the Consultants in the clinics. They can make more accurate diagnosis and having faithful information makes it easier for them, to know if the patient management is working properly during follow-up appointments…thanks to this Certificate I have obtained promotion and I want to carry on improving my professional knowledge in the essential imaging area.
Certificate of Higher Education in OCT Capture
Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital, UK
The diploma has been undertaken by a number of staff who are keen to enhance their knowledge of disease processes as viewed by OCT. This has proved invaluable. Our service has many facets and there are areas where I would like staff to have specialist knowledge based on their particular role, the glaucoma service for example or the corneal clinics. The facility of being able to specialise in part of this course has allowed me to have expert imagers where needed as well as the staff developing a good all round knowledge of many diseases.
University Diploma in OCT Interpretation
Belfast Health and Social Care Trust
This course has allowed me as a non-registered professional to tap into a wealth of knowledge provided by the course tutors in an online format. It was exactly the kind of course I had been looking for. I already knew how to obtain a good OCT Scan and could do basic interpretation. With the aid of this course and the collaboration with my clinical supervisors I have a gained a much better understanding of how different medical/retinal conditions can alter the OCT scan and how the scans can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
Content is thorough, and appropriate, and keeps challenging the student. I appreciate the practical approach taken by your training, the involvement of our local team, and the entry level requirements. This approach has borne fruit in productive and well-grounded technicians as evidenced by the quality of their work.
Certificate of Higher Education in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening, eSwatini
In St. Lucia, fourteen individuals have successfully completed the Diabetic Retinopathy Screening course [so far]. The course provided practical knowledge, which is currently being used to assist clients with diabetes, to reduce the risk of vision loss as a result of diabetic retinopathy. On completion of the course, students have been able to screen and grade images confidently and determine the necessary management and referrals. This reduces the impact of diabetic eye disease on the client, their families and by extension, the country.
Certificate of Higher Education in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening, St. Lucia
I have developed a lot of confidence in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening because of the intense knowledge that I gained throughout the year while studying with Gloucestershire Retinal Education Group. The modules are simple to understand, they are offered timely and they give reference at all times for further studying. The course has tremendously enhanced my mentorship skills and has opened more doors for me both professionally and academically.
Certificate of Higher Education in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening, Botswana
I must say that undergoing the DRS course has greatly improved my practice as it has enabled me to correctly grade diabetic retinopathy, and thus improve patients’ management and follow up. The DRS course was one of the best online courses I have undertaken. The course content was easy to assess and greatly detailed with lots of demonstrative videos. Thank you Gloucestershire Retinal Education Group for the great job you are doing in helping to reduce the burden of blindness caused by diabetic retinopathy worldwide.
Certificate of Higher Education in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening, Nigeria
I am an eye specialist who has obtained this certificate. I advise all health professionals, especially ophthalmologists, to obtain this certificate. This is because the curriculum contains practical topics that are not found in a textbook. This study adds practical experience on how to deal with all types of patients with diabetic retinopathy. In addition to the teaching staff and the teaching supervisors, they are knowledgeable people who do not hesitate to answer enquiries about anything concerning the course. I recommend this certificate.
