Our Pre-registration Programme will give you the best possible start to your career in optics and put everything you have learned at University into practice.

This is a 52 week programme in one of our 600 practices across the UK – where you can really get to understand what it’s like to work in optics with Europe’s leading health and beauty retailer and experience what makes us strive to be No 1 for Customer Care. This programme is focussed on ensuring you qualify as an Optometrist and have a chance to find out what being a Boots Optometrist means.

What you’ll be doing on the programme

Primarily, you’ll experience what’s at the heart of Optometry with Boots – helping our patients and colleagues alike.

Secondly, you’ll develop skills that you won’t learn at University. We’ll give you the best possible start in your career as we want you to thrive professionally and personally.
