3.    During the course of your training, will you receive accurate knowledge of laser hair removal? Once you have graduated, will you be able to successfully, operate a laser?
a.    You want to see how many students have actually graduated from the school that you are considering, not just how many students have attended the school.

This will enable you to see if the information that they provide you with is going to be accurate enough to help you excel in the laser hair removal industry or if you will be better off going elsewhere to get accurate knowledge. To ensure that the information that they provide you with is going to be useful inquire as to if they teach the newest technology that is associated with laser hair removal.

a.    Some schools will offer to pay for your flight and room to attend the school or the training courses that they offer. However, along with this nice gesture they also raise their tuition by at least 50% to help cover that cost. You want to compare the prices of the various schools and training centers to ensure you are not paying more than you have to just to get your flight paid for. The thing that you are after is getting the best possible training for your money.
5.    Does the Department of Higher Education, Health Occupations, or the Division of Private Occupational Schools approve the school's curriculum?
a.    In order to get proper insurance if you plan to start your own laser hair removal business you will need to get training from a school that has their curriculum approved from one of the above departments. Many of the schools and training centers that are listed on the internet are not approved by any of these departments, so you will have wasted your money getting the training
6.    How long has the instructor(s) been a practicing electrologist or laser/IPL practitioner?
a.    The longer they have been using the lasers the more experience they will have. The more experience that each instructor has the more you will be able to learn from him or her. In addition, they have seen and dealt with many different situations so they can help to prepare you for some of the things that you might face.
7.    How many years has the school been providing state approved training?
a.    The longer the school has been teaching state approved training the better. You want to know when the state began to require state approval for training and then see if the school became registered with the state as soon as they were able to. Schools that did not get approval with the state as soon as possible you want to determine how long they waited to be approved with the state. Most schools that offer state approved training will have offered it from the beginning.
8.    Where did your instructor(s) receive their laser training?
a.    Look into the school that they attended to get their certification to see what type of program that school offers and if the school is still in business. Many instructors will teach at the school that they received their training from, especially if they are happy with the level of training that they received.
