Common Questions — Answered Honestly

Researching laser training can be a minefield. Here's the straight version.

I'm a complete beginner — can I still do this course?

+

Yes — this course is designed for complete beginners. All relevant certifications and practical training are included, taking you from zero experience to offering laser hair removal treatments to clients professionally.

Do I need a VTCT Level 5 to offer laser hair removal?

+

There are currently no legal regulations requiring a specific qualification or licence to offer laser treatments in the UK. The requirements come from insurers — who typically ask for Level 3 Anatomy & Physiology, Core of Knowledge, and a laser-appropriate training certificate. All of these are included in this course.

Could this change in future? Possibly. Our LPA (Laser Protection Advisor) advises that the laser industry is unlikely to see significant regulatory change before 2030 at the earliest, given that current focus is on the broader aesthetics sector. We don't feel it's appropriate to sell something expensive that isn't yet a confirmed requirement — especially when a VTCT Level 4/5 qualification alone costs around £3,500 without a machine or practical training.

If regulations do change and a specific certification becomes a legal requirement, we will update our training accordingly and support existing students through any transition — potentially via grandfather rights based on your experience, or an upgrade pathway if required.

Why are your courses (including the machine) so affordable compared to others?

+

The laser training market has huge price variation — much of it driven by machine brand markups rather than quality differences. We work extensively with our LPA to source machines that are safety compliant, high spec, and genuinely effective — and rather than marking up the cost, we pass the savings directly to our students.

We believe professional training and equipment shouldn't be out of reach. Our goal is simple: thorough training, exceptional ongoing support, and excellent quality machines — without marking up the cost by tens of thousands. All machines are fully UK CE certified with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.

Which machine is included in the course?

+

The course includes our fully CE certified LMC Diode Lux PRO — our highest specification desktop Diode laser machine. 12-month manufacturer's warranty included. Available in white or black.

We also have our own LPA laser engineer for troubleshooting, repairs, replacement parts, and servicing — so you're supported on the technical side long after your training day.
