Please note you can request a physical hard copy for the service fee of $30+ GST which goes towards the additional administration involved”. For a hard copy certificate please contact us.
LASER SAFETY CERTIFICATE RE-CERTIFICATION
As with all Aesthetic Industry applications, knowledge and skills relating to Laser Health & Safety need to be updated from time to time. To reflect best practice recommendations, we suggest a renewal date of 5 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 believe staff forget information and should be reminded for the purposes of ongoing professional development. Our certification programmes can be used to apply for CPD (Continued Professional Development) points through Medical & Nursing Councils, where applicable. Additionally, all learners gain NZLT Institutes own exclusive CPD points which count towards an NZLT Institute laser diploma. Please contact us to learn more.
