ECP University (ECPU), an educational solution to develop best practices and deliver growth through in-person, online and distance learning for optical staff, practice managers and practice owners, has been relaunched by Essilor, with new branding and content.

The new site provides best-in-class training and education to foster professional development among eyecare professionals (ECPs), with a range of valuable content designed for various practice roles and experience levels. All practice members gain 24/7 access to the full ECPU catalog of 90-plus courses, including optics and ocular anatomy training, patient service and selling, business management, technical concepts, products, insurance and more.

“ECP University is proudly supported by Essilor, the world’s leader in vision care innovation, expertise and service,” said Janelle Routhier, O.D., F.A.A.O and senior director of customer development, Essilor of America. “With distance, in-person and online learning opportunities, practice owners and staff can enhance professional knowledge in a way that suits their schedule.”

With this new site, Management & Business Academy (MBA), once a separate educational effort from Essilor, is now part of ECP University to provide ODs and practice owners the business insights and metrics they need to take their practice success to the next level. Additionally, The Management Development Program combines live and distance training to arm practice and optical managers with the business expertise they need to run a successful practice.
