Core of Knowledge for Healthcare and Cosmetic Professionals
Lucid's 'Core of Knowledge' training course is delivered as a 1/2-day training course (usually running approx. 10.30am-4pm). The course is approved by the British Medical Laser Association (BMLA), as fulfilling the requirements for the 'Core of Knowledge' required of Laser/IPL operators by the Medical Devices Agency and the Healthcare Commission.

Certificated Staff
The advantages of assessing the achievement of staff in taking the 'Core of Knowledge' training course is that the organisation can have confidence that the individual has understood the essential elements of laser and IPL safety that are required in order to work safely with these treatment devices.

Although some staff become nervous at the prospect of their learning being assessed, most find the process rewarding in that passing the assessment demonstrates achievement. Further as holders of a certificate in laser and IPL 'Core of Knowledge', the staff are further engaged to fully comply with laser and IPL safety requirements.

Course Details
The course covers the essentials of laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) safety. The approach taken is that by understanding the hazards and risks, treatment staff are engaged to fully consider the safety requirements for themselves and others, so that safety procedures are not disregarded or compromised during laser or IPL treatments. This approach helps to ensure that all treatments are delivered with appropriate safety precautions for the benefit of all involved.

Delegates who attend the course receive a Lucid 'Certificate of Attendance'. Assessment is not a requirement of the 'Core of Knowledge', but can be provided if requested by a client. Where delegates are assessed, this is via a written test, and successful completion leads to a 'Certificate of Competence'.

Course Locations
The 'Core of Knowledge' course is currently held at both Lucid Training Centre in Cumbria, and Milton Hill House near Oxford. Lucid Training Centre is easily reached from the M6 and A1, and is convenient for delegates from Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle and Leeds. Milton Hill House is close to the A34, with good road and rail links to London, Bristol and Birmingham.

We can also arrange to run courses for groups on your site (or a convenient location nearby). In many cases this may not be cost effective, but if you have 4 or more delegates, it is an option to consider. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this option, or to obtain pricing.
