Does SECO submit Optician courses via CE Broker or to ABO/NCLE for approval? If so, how do I receive my CE hours after the event?

SECO will submit all applicable AHP courses to FL and SC Optician Boards via CE Broker and to ABO/NCLE for review and approval. Attendees must include a FL or SC license number or their ABO/NCLE ID number during the registration process in order for SECO to submit CE hours via CE Broker and to ABO/NCLE within 30 days of the event. NOTE: If you hold both an Optician and Contact Lens Dispensing license with SC, enter your Optician license during registration, then email education@secostaff.com to notify of your CL license number as well. We will communicate with you following the event to ensure CE is submitted correctly.
