Optical practices rely on assistants who have completed HLTOPD006 Assist with optical appliance selection and maintenance to help match frames and lenses to client needs and keep spectacles aligned, comfortable and in good repair. It is a sensible scope choice for RTOs whose learners support optical dispensers under supervision, with HLTOPD006 RTO training materials covering both selection and maintenance tasks.
Learners develop skills in gathering client needs and preferences with a supervisor, matching lens and frame types and materials, documenting findings, inspecting appliances, performing minor repairs, making standard alignments and adjustments and recording repair work.
