Description

Module 1

£120 incl. VAT

This BMLA-approved course is for the advanced learner seeking certification in The Principles and Practice of Laser and IPL Hair Reduction and Skin Rejuvenation with additional material covering vascular and pigmented skin blemishes. As this is a Level 4 course, a thorough understanding of the training video and downloadable workbooks is required to answer the series of challenging multiple-choice assessments.

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 3 and Level 4 qualifications.

 
 

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 professional educational bodies or required by professional indemnity insurance providers. The Level 4 candidate in Laser and IPL Hair Reduction and Skin Rejuvenation will therefore have completed Laser Physics & Safety ‘Core of Knowledge’ Laser User Level 4 training or have attended a recognised laser safety certificated course as a pre-requisite before taking this advanced course.

Ten documented case studies must be completed and submitted as evidence of practical skills. Online Laser Training provides additional study resources to assist the completion of all these portfolio tasks.

Level 4 certification is only achieved upon completion of the case studies and practical assessment (Module 4)

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 ACCREDITATION YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO A SUITABLE LASER OR IPL WITH PRIOR TRAINING FROM THE LASER SUPPLIER. IF YOU REQUIRE FURTHER ADVICE ON TAKING THIS COURSE PLEASE EMAIL US AT INFO@ONLINELASERTRAINING.CO.UK
