Laser and IPL practical training with a third-party clinic owner or private trainer

While on-the-job or supplier-led training has benefits, partnering with a third-party clinic owner or private training provider offers distinct advantages. These independent experts charge private fees to teach in their clinics or at your workplace. This approach delivers personalised, real-world experience around the ‘how-to’ of cutting-edge aesthetic treatments. Here’s why it’s a powerful choice.

Highly personalised real-world training

Clinic owners provide tailored training customised to your skill level and clinic needs. You gain hands-on experience with real clients in their active clinics or yours, mastering IPL for pigmentation or picosecond lasers for tattoo removal. This immersive method aligns with 2025 trends like hyper-personalised treatments and the use of multi-modalities to get the best results. With employers valuing practical skills, this type of training ensures you confidently handle diverse skin types and conditions while learning so much more than practical including workplace culture, how to put skin treatment packages together and documentation (to name a few).

Flexible and accessible learning

Private providers offer unmatched flexibility, scheduling sessions around your availability, whether in their clinic or at your workplace. Unlike courses requiring travel to capital cities, third-party trainers come to you, saving on flights, fuel, accommodation, childcare and fees. This suits busy beauty therapists expanding their menu of services or nurses managing existing client loads. Pairing online theory, like laser safety modules, with practical sessions lets you earn CPD points for Ahpra compliance while staying productive.

Insider expertise and mentorship

Training with a clinic owner means learning from seasoned professionals who tackle daily aesthetic challenges. Their expertise in current innovations, such as AI-driven IPL or combination therapies, keeps you skilled in the latest protocols. Unlike supplier-led training tied to specific devices, private trainers often teach across brands, boosting your versatility. One-on-one mentorship refines techniques from client consultations to managing adverse outcomes, building your confidence. Need logbook hours? If these people are licensed in Queensland or Western Australia, they can contribute to your hours. How good is that?

Cost-effective and industry-relevant

Third-party training is often more affordable than formal courses, with fees covering targeted, high-impact sessions. Clinic owners focus on the practical skills demanded by the 4 billion dollar global dermatology laser market, such as melasma treatment or skin rejuvenation, without academic overhead. Their insights into state regulations, including Qld and WA licensing, ensure compliance, reducing risks and enhancing employability. You also gain exposure to clinic operations, preparing you for roles like laser safety officer. 

Why choose third-party training?

Training with a third-party clinic owner delivers personalised, flexible, and cost-effective learning in real clinical settings. Combined with certified online theory courses, it’s a career accelerator for mastering laser and IPL technologies.
