Distance learning offers more choice and more control over what, how, when and where you learn. We achieve this by using the same quality course materials to present information that we use in our face-to-face courses. Slide transcripts and learner workbooks are provided. The course video, which you can play-back multiple times, can be viewed on a desk-top computer, laptop, tablet or iPhone / Android.
IPL & Laser Training Courses
