“I found this course incredibly insightful and important. I will be using everything I learnt in this course on a daily basis at the clinic I work at. I enjoyed the practical tools provided in the programme that I can use on a daily basis at work to ensure the safety of my customers. I will be implementing the knowledge I learnt from the course into the way I practice as a laser technician. I will always make sure my customers have had their skin checked by a specialist before treating them. ”

“Great interesting programme with the need to know information. I had no idea there are so many different types of lesions and conditions and I have completely changed my thoughts around taking care of my skin and checking others. First of all I will take better care of myself by booking a skin check as I have lesions that I didn’t think much of beforehand. I will limit sun exposure and use sunscreen - also for my children. I will do thorough skin checks on future clients and share what I have learnt.”
