Common questions

Does Boots Opticians sponsor visas for its pre-registration optometrist programmes?

Unconfirmed. Boots Opticians publishes no sponsorship policy for its pre-registration optometrist programmes, so we cannot state a firm answer. Graduates with at least a 2:2 in Optometry join the year-long Scheme for Registration Placement starting late July or early August, working full-time in store while completing College of Optometrists assessments; students on the newer Master of Optometry route can instead join the part-time Clinical Learning in Practice programme in their final year. Boots states a 95 percent newly-qualified offer rate and an 80 percent first-time OSCE pass rate, and automatically enrols qualifiers onto an 18-month Foundation Optometrist Programme. No salary figure or any right to work or visa sponsorship statement appears anywhere on the page.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.
