Optometry with no a levels
Hi all, I just wanted to know if it is possible to become an optician with a btech in applied science and no alevels or if there are options such as apprenticeships for this profession?
You can’t do optometry with a btec. You have to do the btec along side a science a-level.
But you can do a science based Access course at college. This is a one year level 3 course. Most unis accept them, you just need a certain amount of credits. Or you can do a foundation year and then enter optom.
Don’t think there are any apprenticeships for optom.
