How to Register a Staff Member
These instructions are only for CAO member optometrists who would like to register a staff member for the CCOA program.
Step 1:
The staff member MUST first have created their own CCOA account and identified you as their sponsoring optometrist (Refer to Step 1 here: CREATE AN ACCOUNT). Once the account is created, you will receive a "CCOA Sponsor Request" email. Click on the "login" link and follow the instructions. Your staff member will receive an email once you have confirmed the relationship. *Note: This will take a few minutes to process.
Step 2:
Log in to CAO Learning from your "My Account" page or the CCOA homepage.
* Note that the "CAO Learning" button is only visible to eligible CCOAs and sponsoring optometrists.
Step 3:
Welcome to the CAO Learning Portal! Click on "Browse Catalog" to view course options.
Step 4:
