5-Day Laser Training Course Overview

laser trainingFor those considering a career as a cosmetic laser technician, it’s exciting to know that without any medical or aesthetic background you can learn all you need to know about the ABC’s of laser in this information-packed course. Our classroom curriculum is designed to give students an in-depth knowledge of skin care mechanics in addition to Comprehensive Laser Bootcamp training education. We train our students in the basic fundamentals of how lasers work, describe the clinical applications in the industry, and promote an understanding of laser safety. Students will leave with a thorough knowledge of cosmetic lasers and the education needed to be successful in this industry.

Building off of laser basics at the beginning of our course, students will be taught the fundamentals of laser physics, the importance of the Fitzpatrick scale (classifying skin typing) and laser safety, and will be able to explain the clinical applications of lasers in the industry. A variety of experts in the field will also educate students on the business side of the laser industry, such as client screening and candidacy, safety protocols, marketing and the application of treatments. Students will have an overall solid grasp of lasers and will be ready to take on any line of work in the skin care working environment.

(*Note: This laser training course does not include hands-on training. If you are looking for clinical hands-on training, check out our 2-week Comprehensive Laser Bootcamp Course or our 1-week CORE Course for clinical hands-on training)
