Is this course accredited or certified?

Is this training required for compliance?
In the UK, Core of Knowledge training is an expected part of demonstrating safe Laser/IPL use. In Ireland, it is not a legal requirement, but is considered best practice by insurers and laser safety professionals. This course supports your compliance efforts, particularly during audits and inspections, by ensuring your team has been trained to an appropriate safety standard.
Who delivers the training?
This course is created and delivered by a registered Laser Protection Adviser (LPA) with clinical and regulatory experience in Laser/IPL safety in Ireland, the UK and the EU. It is tailored specifically for aesthetic practitioners, not surgical or industrial users.
How long will I have access to the course?
You’ll have 30 days of access from the date of enrolment. This helps ensure you complete the training in a timely way and retain what you’ve learned, rather than coming back months later when it’s no longer fresh.
Do I need prior laser or IPL experience to take this course?
No. The course is suitable for both beginners and experienced professionals. Whether you’re just getting started or want to refresh your knowledge, the step-by-step structure helps build understanding at your own pace.
Can my whole team take this course?

Yes, once you complete all sections of the course and pass each knowledge check, you’ll be able to download a certificate of attendance. This can be kept in your Laser/IPL safety training records.
What is “Core of Knowledge” training, and why does it matter?
Core of Knowledge (COK) training is recommended under UK and Irish laser safety guidance. It provides the foundational understanding of how Laser/IPL systems work, the risks involved, and how to operate safely in clinical environments.
Only Core of Knowledge courses can be approved by the British Medical Laser Association.
What This Course Doesn’t Cover
This course is focused on safety, not clinical technique or hands-on training. It does not cover device-specific protocols, skin typing, or treatment settings. Those must come from manufacturer training or clinical qualifications.
Are the knowledge check questions difficult?
Not at all! These questions are designed to help you reflect on what you’ve learned and reinforce key concepts. They’re not graded or meant to catch you out—they’re simply a tool to boost your confidence and understanding
You're one step away from safer practice, clearer standards, and stronger protection for your patients.
