Key Features:

TRACK EVERY COMPETENCY: Log all 75 Stage 1 competencies required by the College of Optometrists. Effortlessly mark items as 'Achieved', 'Provisional', or 'Starred' to focus on what matters most.

VISUALISE YOUR PROGRESS: Your personalised home dashboard features a dynamic progress ring that shows your overall completion percentage at a glance. Instantly see your progress for each of the four assessment visits with dedicated summary cards.

STAY FOCUSED: Star challenging competencies to create a personalised to-do list right on your home screen. OptoMentor automatically surfaces your outstanding and starred items so you always know what to work on next.

FIND ANYTHING, INSTANTLY: Use the powerful search to find any competency by its name, code, indicators, or even keywords from its description. Instantly filter the entire list by a specific visit, or see only your 'Achieved' or 'Outstanding' items.

PLAN YOUR VISITS: Dive deep into each of the four visits with a dedicated detail screen. Here you can monitor your progress for that specific visit, see lists of outstanding and achieved competencies, and add your own notes. Set your assessment date for each visit to get helpful reminders.

ESSENTIAL RESOURCES: Get up and running with our built-in "Pre-Reg Essentials" guide. And this is just the beginning—look out for upcoming resources including detailed guides for every visit, a Stage Two success pack, and a Post-Qualification Toolkit.
