Willing to know if my ilets band score is sufficient to enroll me with pre registration or not.
Thank you

Helo, thank you for the video, my brother has gone through all these process and had his interview, they said he has to do 2years program before the pre-reg and the cost of the 2years is over 30,000 pounds, he has 15days to review his documents, pls is there something that he can do at this point, at least to reduce it to 6months or 1year
the schools decide how long the program runs, except he checks other schools/options and see which one does the course in a shorter time but most schools will do same program within the same time frame.
Hi, if you dont mind me asking if goc interview has got more difficult? What questions were asked to your brother? If u can reply that would be great help, thank you.

Hello, i am an optometrist from India, i would like to work in uk as an optometrist. What I do to get GOC registration as I am an international applicant?
Hey dear.. it’s all very possible, but then I’d love that you go through the videos I’ve made as it’s specifically for this purpose.
Please go through them and let me specifically know what challenges you may have and I’ll be happy to help. Is that okay?
@@uluchidinma6654 ok .. Thank u
Iam also an optometrist from india looking for doing GOC Registration
@amrutha rose Are you from kerala?
@@aleenamol033 No I’m not
How long did the whole process take? Did you write an written exam with GOC?
No it’s a face to face interview.
I can’t really say how long it took me, it was just that slow and steady move.
I’d say the major factor is money, if you have your money ready for every stage, then you’d get through faster
Do you have the case file manager mail id ? Or is the Registration id ?
Hi could you please give me your email id just to ask about goc interview question. Thank you
Can i attend the interview by online or it should be a Face to Face interview?
Yes..I had mine online.
How long did the interview last?
About 30 mins

We must be in UK to attend the interview?
No you mustn’t
Ok…then what must be the address once we are registering for Student Optometrist while back in the home country?

Congrats! I just want to know more about your experience.. Since when do you work with an ophtalmologist and how did you manage the number of patients that you had « to do »
Thank you Camilla.
As at the time of my interview, I was working with an Ophthalmologist in a private clinic where I worked as the Optometrist. So most times, patients were sent to me by the Ophthalmologist and would return to the Ophthalmologist after their examination by the Optometrist. If that’s the same case with you, also make it clear that you worked independently on your patient and not “Supervised”.
Managing the number of patients I had was never an issue as patients were often attended to based on who came first.
Please do let me know if your questions have been satisfactorily answered .
@@uluchidinma6654 Thank you very much for your kind reply 🙂 but what I wanted to say was, for the patients, how did you prove that you had done the number that they ask for, do you really need to have proof that you have done 200 patients for example for a specific field?
@@camillasoudant4768 you really do not need any proof except you put an outrageous number of patients maybe like 20,000 and have practiced for like 1 year or 2. I wasn’t eventually asked to prove the number of patients I put down, hopefully because it didn’t seem out of place for my years of practice; but just incase you’re asked, I would suggest to do a break down of the number of patients you wrote down before your interview, just so you can know what to say if asked.
200 patients is not too much to be seen in your daily practice, because that can even be covered in a month if you see an average of 10-15 patients a day; so it may not be viewed as something extra ordinary to interrogate more on.
If your number of patients is up to 5,000 and above, then you may want to talk about seeing some of them during outreaches/volunteer jobs/mobile clinics, that you attend either once a week or once in two weeks and seeing an average of 100-150 patients a day of course with some assistance from ophthalmic nurses while you consulting.
Clear or not??
@@uluchidinma6654 Yes totally. I sincerely thank you, your answers have helped me a lot and I can't wait to see the rest of your journey
@@camillasoudant4768 you’re welcome dear.
