I have freedom, which is what I wanted. My two boys are my priority. So I get to make my own schedule, I do my own hours, I see my patients. I have a good rapport and relationship with them. So if I need time off I can take time off to be with my kids. The teachers at NLI are knowledgeable, they give you room to inject with your own style, which I liked. They show you their way, but they want you to learn your own. And I appreciated that. I started in a one room shop, with 18 clients, we grew out of that shop within 4 months, and moved to a new space. Our company has grown 308%. We now have a 5 room suite. We now have 3200 clients and are expanding again. I absolutely suggest everybody should go to NLI.

My experience at the National Laser Institute was both a positive and memorable one.

The program was exceptional, cutting edge, and exciting. Our class had knowledgeable and upbeat instructors who were current experts in their given fields. The students in my class came from far and wide, from across the country and all over the world. There are colleagues I met at National Laser Institute who I will definitely keep in touch with long term. While still in training, I began an intensive job search for an R.N. position in laser and injectables. Louis Silberman, the president and CEO of National Laser Institute was supportive and helpful in speaking with potential employers inquiring about me. Even before the end of the training, I had landed my dream job thanks to the excellent learning opportunities from the reputable and elite institution, National Laser Institute. Thank you National Laser Institute for your encouragement, inspiration, opportunity, quality education, and personal touch. I am grateful to you for providing me with the tools needed to create a bright and exciting future for myself in the medical aesthetics industry!

I don't think I could have found a better school than this!!

I am an RN and I just completed a week-long training program at National Laser Institute (NLI). I usually don't take time to write reviews but I absolutely have to this time.  I have heard good things about NLI but I was still a little nervous to invest the time & money into this program.
However... wow! I don't think I could have found a better school than this!!  I don't even know where to start because everyone at the school is amazing. The owner, Louis is full of energy and very passionate about what he does.  My advisor, Jennifer was amazing and answered every single question I had.  The front desk girls are so helpful and friendly.  Tracey, the spa manager is very helpful to all the students.  Every one of the instructors I had (Allison, Dawn, Jan, Dr.Treen, Dr. Hooker, Tess and others...) were so knowledgeable.  The full days were perfectly organized, the lectures were amazing and you get so much hands-on training of various techniques, and on how to deal with and handle clients!  The NLI staff make you feel like family - they are all friendly, fun and happy to help with anything you need.  I also met so many amazing people there and learned more than I ever thought I could in a very concentrated but fun week.  I never thought I would love this school so much.  I would recommend NLI to anyone!  I was honestly sad to leave after my completion and I know I will be back for some more training in the future as I fell in love with this field and this school.  A big `thank you!` to everyone at NLI for the amazing experience.

I have been in the medical industry for the past 5 years as nurse.

I enjoy what I do however was looking for something that offered me a sense of renewed passion. I went to national laser institute because I wanted to see what medical aesthetics was all about! I have never had training outside of a hospital and like the idea of having a clinic to practice cosmetic medicine in and move away from the burnout of working in a hospital that so many RN's like myself experience with long shifts , high stress jobs and not a ton of time to have a nice social life! . I heard about National laser Institute and after doing my due diligence and looking into my options I decided NLI was the only choice for me. I am so excited not only was the course everything I hoped it would be but it exceeded all my expectation immensely! Everyone at NLI was great in fact Chelsy who works in graduate service landed me an interview with a doctors office in San Diego looking for cosmetic nurse Injectors! So the best part is within 2 weeks of receiving my training certifications of Botox, fillers & lasers course I landed the perfect job!! Yay!! I am so excited I would highly recommend NLI, not only did I receive the best education but they delivered so much more. I am happy to say I have found the passion I was looking and excited for my new career in medical aesthetic! Who could ask for anything more.

I thought to be a nurse was to be in a hospital or to be in that kind of care setting to be able to help people and save people’s lives. And yes, that’s also important. But the lives that you change being in the aesthetic world is unreal. You get people that struggle and they leave a whole new entire person, which is why I do what I do. There are so many nurses that are getting burned out in the nursing world. I think if they went to something like this even part-time, they have no idea what it could do for themselves. I already have 30 clients one month after my injection training at NLI.

I was at a pretty big hospital in Maryland. But I love aesthetics now. I just wasn't feeling fulfilled in my job. The burnout was very real. The hours were not great. Having the National Laser Institute and the whole training on my resume definitely set me apart from other applicants. I got a job in cosmetics pretty quickly, and then I was able to transfer into it full-time. I love my job. This is a fun side of nursing. You have no all-night shifts. You're not on call at three in the morning anymore. You don't have to work on a Sunday. I think that having the National Laser Institute on my resume and the whole training there set me apart from other applicants. I got a job in aesthetics pretty quickly and was able to transfer into it full time.

I’m a middle-class mom, wife, and nurse.

I struggled over my decision to come to National Laser Institute. Would this be the right school for me? Should I take so much time away from my family? In this economy, should I invest this money in my education? From the very first day I arrived at National Laser Institute, all this inner-turmoil dissipated. I knew emotionally and intellectually that I had made the best decision for my family, my husband and my career.

I'm sorry to inform you that I was not 100% satisfied. I was actually 150% satisfied!

I had a great time at NLI and was completely impressed with everyone. Louis is a trip. Everyone made me feel like a rock star and I will most definitely send my staff out there for training when that time comes. Louis talked about selling an experience and you guys have that covered. The training is also top notch. I didn't want to leave, it was that much fun. Being surrounded by all of those women definitely had its appeal too. Back to reality now. After being gone for 18 days I have a ton of work to get caught up on back here in Nebraska. Thank you so much for your help while I was at NLI.

I had a job interview lined up the next day, & lo & behold.... I was hired on the spot!

I'm a licensed Nurse Practitioner in CA, specializing in OB/Gyn for 22 yrs. Last year (2014), I felt that I was ready for a career move so I checked out training classes in Aesthetic Medicine. National Laser Institute stood out as the most reputable & offered the most comprehensive training.
So I took the full 2 weeks of training in Scottsdale, AZ. My Instructors & teachers were great. They were very knowledgeable & experienced. After my training, I felt that I was fully prepared & skilled to take on my new role as an Aesthetic NP.

Upon returning to CA, I had a job interview lined up the next day, & lo & behold.... I was hired on the spot! Wow, I can't believe it! I got a job the next day after my training! God is good!

It's been over a year since, & I'm now the Lead Injection Specialist in my job. I'm enjoying my new specialty & it was the best career move I've made! Thanks to Louis Silberman, NLI CEO (who took the time to share with me some marketing tips), & to all the NLI teachers/instructors/staff. They've all been great! They also take good care of their Alumni, sending out employment leads exclusive to their graduates.

I definitely recommend National Laser Institute to be the school of choice in the field. They're the BEST!

I chose the National Laser Institute because I interviewed several surgeons in our area and I was told the National Laser Institute is the best school in the nation.

I cannot speak highly enough about your staff & the course.

The digital course book was well organized & clearly written, which made it easier to understand & follow the presenter. The presenters were extremely knowledgeable & well versed with their topics. Their demonstrations showed excellent injecting techniques.. On a scale of 1-10, this course is a 15!!!

The correspondence with different staff members before & after this class is superb. It is obvious that you & your staff have a passion for NLI & all the individuals that take your course. I highly recommend this course to my peers.

I am so thankful I chose National Laser Institute.

As a family Nurse Practitioner I am starting my own clinic. I have not had any previous experience in this area. I am wanting to offer specialized procedures. Attending National Laser Institute has given me hands-on experience with various equipment, techniques, and provides the opportunity to work with patients. It has truly been an invaluable experience. I am leaving with confidence. I'm so excited and thankful for the opportunity. It gave me confidence in choosing the right products and tools to make my business successful. Thank you!

I graduated from NLI in March of 2017 and opened up my own business in June 2017. We just passed our 4 year anniversary. I’ve got 3 full-time master aestheticians, I’ve got 2 part-time nurse injectors, we’ve got another laser… we’re just growing as we go!

I had a hunger for that knowledge and wanting to be a part of cosmetic medicine. I did everything online with NLI. Tomorrow is actually my first day to put a needle in my patient’s face. I feel completely confident. This is truly happy medicine.

I had a very positive experience attending NLI's course.

Each instructor was an expert in the medical aesthetics field and it was an incredible opportunity to be able to gain invaluable knowledge, tips and tricks from such expert providers. NLI created a positive online learning environment that emphasized personable and positive interaction between student and instructor. Additionally, after finishing the online course, students are sent the recorded lectures/virtual demonstrations so that it can be reviewed as many times as we'd like. Repetition is key! Overall, I easily rate NLI's course a 10/10 in all aspects: curriculum, instructor interaction, and overall satisfaction. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to get into the medical aesthetics field!!

The National Laser Institute’s 7-day course was encompassing and informative.

The instructors were very knowledgeable in their fields of expertise. The personalized setting provided a good forum for questions and hands-on experience. The intensity of the course prepared to get my practice started. I would absolutely recommend this course to a colleague and a friend.

I was previously planning on being in the ER where I was an ortho tech before I graduated from nursing school. And that was when I was diagnosed with MS… and I had to go into a different realm. I'd been getting Botox since I was 26 and was just kind of fascinated by it… So I reached out to you guys and got my courses set up. I had an entrepreneurial seizure as I like to call it, and I opened my own business, I still pay myself as an RN. And I have brought in two aestheticians. I've brought in lasers. And, I'm bringing in a new injector to go through your training on Saturday. It's all what you make of it. I'm just thankful to be upright and walking and out there killing it for my clients and my tribe is amazing.

As an ICU nurse it was interesting. I learned a lot of things. But it wasn’t the best fit for me. The last few years I’ve done only aesthetics. This is my passion. I’d love to continue doing what I’m doing. It’s great to have that flexibility. Maybe one week I want to work 2 days a week maybe one week I want to work 4 days a week. I love the flexibility because of family. I can spend that quality time with my children.

Hi! I have been grappling with the idea of taking your course for the last couple of years!

I finally decided to go for it and couldn't be happier. The atmosphere of the course was positive and extremely supportive. You and your instructors are fantastic and made learning fun. I give it a 10!

I had a great experience during the weekend nurse injector course at National Laser Institute.

The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and shared their favorite tricks of the trade. I met quite a few doctors and nurses who were nice enough to share backgrounds and experiences and made some really great connections. I'm looking forward to putting my training into action!

I actually met a lady when I was flying to class at NLI in Phoenix. She lives an hour away from me. We were on the same plane. She was opening a med spa and she hired me before I left Phoenix.

I loved it! I took the injection course. I actually left class at NLI the first day kind of on that high. I really think this is my calling. It’s fun. It’s enjoyable. If you work in hospital you know it’s hard work, especially the ER. Doing something where people are like ‘yes please, put needles in my face’… this is fun!

The program was really great.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the online, but it definitely worked for me! It honestly exceeded my expectations! I am definitely going to pursue laser training with you all! Thank you and your instructors for such positive energy you all put out there! I’m literally more pumped up about this than I was when I started!

On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate it a 20. It was phenomenal. All the best providers in the industry who are experts in medical aesthetics come directly to your screen. I highly recommend National Laser Institute to anyone looking to get into the medical aesthetics industry.

I came expecting great things and my expectations were more than exceeded!

All the staff are so wonderful and gave everything they had mentally, physically, and emotionally for us to succeed in our goals for the future of laser and helping others become `a better you.`

I'm extremely pleased with the staff and instructors.

The clinical curriculum surpassed my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised with the knowledge and ability to teach and communicate this information in a manner where I could easily understand so quickly! Highly recommend!

I was working in the hospital…I was just burnt out, like most nurses nowadays. So, I kind of found myself at that kind of crossroads. All I wanted was to have my own place and make the same amount of money that I was making in the hospital, and maybe just a little bit more, I’d be totally cool. Attending NLI was a major life changer: I own my own place and make a great income.

Charles, RN

So it's kind of always been in the back of my mind: how can I blend my love for beauty and making people feel confident and beautiful. In the hospital setting, most of the time they're there because they have to be there and they don't want to be there. The difference to me, with the patients that were coming, they wanted, they chose to come, like they wanted to be there. I just want to be doing injectables…
