📚 Back to College! 📚 Awaited return to ABDO College for another block release as part of my distance learning journey. The balance between work and study can be challenging, but every visit is a step closer to achieving a new career. That’s another block release completed—the first of our second year! Only three more block releases and 18 months left of the course. The finish line is in sight, and I’m motivated to keep pushing forward. Learning never stops, and I’m grateful for the support and resources that make this possible. Here’s to gaining more knowledge, connecting with peers, and continuing the journey toward qualification.

A great morning spent with OM Linda Rundle and student DO Victoria at Asda Opticians Eastleigh. Linda’s positivity and drive to run a superb optical department is infectious! Thank you for the warm welcome ☺️ It was lovely to hear first hand from Victoria how her first few months of her ABDO College level 6 DO apprenticeship is going and I’m pleased to hear that’s she’s enjoying her learning experience! #optics #dispensingoptician #apprenticeship ASDA Opticians and Pharmacy Stuart Laird Faye Breckons Natalie Evans Stephanie Mackinnon Nick Northcott CMgr MCMI
