This advanced programme provides in-depth theoretical and practical training in laser and intense pulsed light technologies. Training is delivered within a professional clinical environment using industry-standard equipment.

Units typically include:

• Health, safety and legal requirements
• Laser and IPL technology principles
• Laser and IPL hair reduction

Assessment is carried out through practical observations, written assignments, and completion of case studies. Students will compile a professional portfolio of evidence in line with VTCT Skills qualification requirements. Final assessments may take place approximately 4–6 weeks after the training period.
