Laser and IPL Hair Reduction & Skin Rejuvenation—Level 3 & 4
This BMLA-approved course is for the advanced learner seeking certification in Laser & IPL Hair Reduction and Skin Rejuvenation with additional material covering vascular and pigmented skin blemishes. As this is a Level 3 & 4 course, a thorough understanding of the training video and workbooks is required to answer the series of challenging multiple-choice assessments.
The learner will be typically a practitioner or therapist already using laser or intense pulsed light equipment wishing to achieve the minimum recommended educational conditions published by national educational bodies or required by public and professional indemnity insurance providers. The Level 3 & 4 candidate in Laser and IPL Hair Reduction and Skin Rejuvenation will therefore have completed Level 4 Laser Physics & Safety Laser User [ED220] ‘Core of Knowledge’ training or have attended a recognised laser safety certificated course as a pre-requisite before taking this advanced course.
Our laser theory and practical application courses are quality assured customised programmes of study that are bespoke to Online Laser Training and not available on the UK regulated framework. However, our programmes have been mapped to the relevant National Occupational Standards (NOS) and aligned to the regulated framework meaning they are equivalent in academic terms to Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications.
The learner must progress through the following sequence of modules and you can only purchase and enrol in the next unit of learning after successfully completing each multiple choice assessment.
YOU CAN COMPLETE LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATION WITHOUT A LASER. HOWEVER, TO ACHIEVE LEVEL 4 CERTIFICATION YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO A LASER OR IPL. IF YOU REQUIRE FURTHER ADVICE ON TAKING THIS COURSE PLEASE EMAIL US ON INFO@ONLINELASERTRAINING.CO.UK
