ONE Robust Training Platform for ALL! 

Say goodbye to multiple logins on multiple learning platforms. UUniversity now includes courses from VSP Vision, Premier Edge, and PECAA on the redesigned platform. 

The combined catalog* includes existing and new:

  • UUniversity offerings, including product training for frames and lenses.
  • VSP Vision courses for both Premier Edge participants and VSP Network providers, including continuing education and popular new offerings designed to make it easier to work with VSP.
  • Courses for PECAA Max members, including doctor and staff training, continuing education, and more. 

Ready to get started? Here's how. 
* Access to each course depends on the user’s affiliation with VSP Vision and PECAA Max. For example, non-VSP network users who may be eligible for existing UUniversity courses won’t be able to access VSP Vision or PECAA courses on their customized learning dashboard.
