The principle of Fuss Beauty College, Ilse Taumberger has been working in the laser industry for ten years and is well-established in IPL/Laser training and education. Ilse has trained hundreds of students and insists paramount to her training is the safety of clients and operators; Ilse is often asked, “What type of course do I need to complete to become a qualified Laser Technician?"
When you are constantly bombarded with choices, Ilse says Fuss Beauty College can simplify the confusion and help set you on the right track to a fulfilling new career as a fully qualified Laser Technician.
The trainers at Fuss Beauty and Laser College believe you should have the highest possible qualification within your profession; however we understand it’s not always possible due to time restraints or financial reasons to achieve this.
If you want to gain education and knowledge fast, you can still get a good qualification and use the RPL process to upgrade to a higher qualification in the future when you’re ready to move to the next level in your career.
Always ensure you consider the regulations in your state as these vary within Australia. Most states (apart from Qld, Tas and WA) are not regulated which allows virtually anyone to use a laser or IPL machine.
So what type of training should a therapist have? Again, options will depend on the qualification a therapist holds:
If you have a Diploma in Beauty Therapy, you are able to progress to the Graduate Certificate in IPL and Laser Hair Reduction or to our new Graduate Certificate in Cosmetic Laser and Light Therapies which combines Skin Rejuvenation and Laser Tattoo Removal; Ilse and her team of trainers have trained many doctors and nurses and encourage the medical profession to attend these courses.
Anyone holding a Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy can complete the (now) non-accredited 5 day course in IPL/Laser Hair Reduction and Skin rejuvenation. This course was formerly accredited so still offers the same high standard as the accredited courses and will allow therapists to gain all knowledge required to perform these treatments safely and effectively and feel confident doing so.
Those with a lesser qualification (or none) are recommended to first complete the pre-requisite units to gain underpinning knowledge, then complete the 5 day non-accredited course.
Therapists are often not aware that they can upgrade their beauty qualification to a Diploma level using the RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) process. If they have worked in the industry performing all kinds of treatments, they can use this practical experience. Each person is individually assessed and may require completing additional units or a practical or theory assessment, depending on their experience.
Courses are held monthly. Upcoming dates include:
2nd March
8th April
4th May
