LASER SAFETY CERTIFICATE RE-CERTIFICATION

As with all Aesthetic Industry applications, knowledge and skills relating to Laser Safety need to be updated from time to time. To reflect best practice recommendations, we suggest a renewal date of 3 years so that updated AS/ NZS Safety Standards and Council regulation requirements can be updated and refreshed.

Aside from safety aspects, NZ Laser Training Institute believes staff forget information and should be reminded of ongoing professional development. Our certification programmes can be used to apply for CPD (Continued Professional Development) points through Medical & Nursing Councils.
