 The Distance Learning Program (DLP) is an independent program that was designed to assist educators to improve their contact lens knowledge by systematically helping them to study each module of the IACLE Contact Lens Course (ICLC). After working through a certain section of the ICLC, participants are expected to complete assignments and submit these to the DLP Coordinator for evaluation and feedback.
The DLP is available in English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Bahasa. There are 4 phases in the DLP and in each phase there are 5 assignments. The phases are based on the modules of the ICLC as follows:
Phase 1: based on modules 1 to 3 of the ICLC
Phase 2: based on sections of module 3, as well as modules 4 & 5
Phase 3: based on modules 6 & 7
Phase 4: based on modules 8, 9 & 10
The DLP is a proven program in that it is used to assist members in preparing to write the Accreditation Examination. Out of the number of candidates who wrote last year’s Accreditation Exam and became eligible to apply for FIACLE status (111 candidates in total), 33% were registered in the DLP and an extra 5% were candidates who had completed the DLP in previous years. Therefore 39% were DLP participants.
IACLE invites interested members of IACLE to participate in the DLP. If you would like to be part of this exciting learning challenge, click here to download (pdf) a registration form, or contact your Regional Coordinator or the IACLE Secretariat for further information. |
