SAFELASE Classes and Training
The SafeLase System
The SafeLase System which differs from any other training program in the country is based on teaching students the five basic parameters a laser technician needs to know in order to perform safe and effective laser treatments so that the laser operator can work on any laser in the industry - not just specific lasers he or she was trained on. Read more about The SafeLase System.
Programs Offered
SafeLase Institute offers a variety of training programs to meet your needs and time requirements. SLI offers an Accelerated Program, a Weekend Program, a 3 Day Program, 4 Day Program, and 5 Day Program. Read more about what each program has to offer!
Course Content: Home Study
To prepare for the class each student begins with the SafeLase Home Study Program which they complete at their convenience. This consists of a reading component which prepares the student for the online pre-test. The pre-test allows the instructors to pinpoint concepts the student did not fully understand, which in turn allows for corrections and explanations before the student attends the course in person. Read more about the information covered in the Home Study component of our training program.
Course Content: Workshop Content
Our comprehensive on-site workshop covers Scientific Considerations, Alternative Methods of Hair Removal, Laser and Light Based Hair Removal Equipment, Business Practices, and more. Each student enters the classroom not only as a student but also as a client, and spends time practicing hands on laser treatments on themselves as well as on laser models and clients. Read more about our Workshop Study program.

Testimonials
"I have been meaning to write you and tell you how much I enjoyed the laser course. Barbara and Leon were not only extremely thorough and encouraging, they were there for each student. They made me feel so at ease while learning the various laser equipment, with their sense of humor and their ability to keep us interested. They also brought us guest speakers that helped us understand how lasers work from a different perspective."
-Sincerely,Joyce Mayo, Graduate
"Hi Barbara and Leon, I simply want to thank you for ALL the information you provided and taught. Your energy and enthusiasm to teach is addicting and many will benefit from your knowledge. Sometimes, you think you know it all but then find out you simply don't know enough. Your classes have helped me understand the basics and beyond. I feel confident and love the fact that you taught beyond being conservative. I like stretching the limit because that is where you get the result. .... and just want to say, "THANK YOU" for being honest and sharing your mishaps. Not many people would be willing to admit or share that information at this day and age..... You are true teachers...."
-Regards, Lynn Cutolo, Graduate Esthetic Laser Specialty Course, August 2009
