Structured

Unlike the Core of Knowledge – Laser User foundation course, the entire module is divided into four units with strengthened Assessment Criteria and Assessment Evidence.

Prerequisites

A thorough understanding of the content of the Laser User Core of Knowledge training video and workbooks is required to answer the more challenging multiple-choice assessments at the end of each section. Additional downloadable workbook material is also provided to assist you with independent study and critical assessment of laser safety requirements in your establishment.

You will be required to:

complete revision of Laser Physics & Safety ‘Core of Knowledge’ with more challenging questions
submit a developed set of Local Rules for the specific device(s) used in your establishment,
complete a choice of three independent written tasks from a list of possible tasks and a fourth randomly selected written assignment by
Online Laser Training.

Both the Laser User course and the Core of Knowledge – Laser Laser Safety Officer course use the same student resource course material and presentation but the multiple-choice questions for the Laser Safety Officer assessment are longer and more challenging.

Output

You will submit a developed set of Local Rules for the specific device(s) used in your establishment,
and complete a choice of three independent written tasks from a list of possible tasks and a randomly selected written Assignment by
Online Laser Training.
