Training
World-Class Training for Doctors & Therapists
Our Vision Therapy Basics course (Formerly VT 101) comes with personal mentorship, progress quizzes, oral reviews, and written final examinations. All results and summaries are prepared for the managing doctor at the end of the course.
We also offer an Advanced Vision Therapy course (Formerly VT 201) that builds upon the Vision Therapy Basics training. Here we cover advanced topics related to vision therapy. This is particularly a good course for an optometrist wanting to start offering VT in their clinic and need a refresher.
Our Basics and Advanced Vision Therapy courses are 50% off if you are an autoship member. For doctors who are looking for CE credit, we have COPE-certified versions.
We are also proud to announce the addition of Online Sanet Seminar Series. Robert Sanet's internationally renowned live 5-weekend series in San Diego has been professionally recorded and produced by the Joe Lia, the producer of Survivor.
As part of the Online Sanet Seminar Series, you'll receive 600 pages of commentary with graphics and links from acclaimed author and scientist, Dr. Leonard Press, co-author of Applied Concepts in Vision Therapy 2.0. This resource clarifies terms, includes diagrams, and provides in-depth explanations.
