Which qualification will I receive after this tattoo removal course?
After all four mandatory units have been successfully completed, assessed and verified, you receive the ProQual Level 5 Certificate in Laser Tattoo Removal. It is an Ofqual-regulated qualification. Eligible learners who need the separate ProQual Level 4 Award in Core Knowledge for Laser Safety can complete it at no additional cost, subject to its own requirements.
What qualifications do I need for Level 5 Laser Tattoo Removal?
You must be aged 18 or over and hold an eligible Ofqual-regulated Level 4 Certificate or Diploma in Laser, IPL and Electrical Treatments; Skin Treatments Using Laser, IPL and High Energy LED Devices; or High-Frequency Ultrasound Treatments. You must also hold the Level 4 Award in Core Knowledge for Laser Safety. Eclipse must check your eligibility before enrolment.
Can I enrol with a Level 4 Award or additional anatomy credits?
A Level 4 Award alone does not meet the Level 5 Certificate's entry requirements. Eclipse can review your existing qualifications and advise on progression. A separate Qualifi Level 4 Anatomy option is offered for an additional £499, but additional anatomy credits do not automatically satisfy ProQual's Level 5 entry requirements. Eligibility must be confirmed before enrolment. If you need the full Level 4 Laser & IPL Certificate, ask Eclipse about that route. Explore Level 4 Laser & IPL
How much is the Level 5 Laser Tattoo Removal course?
The course costs £1,999. The Level 4 Core Knowledge for Laser Safety Award is included at no additional cost for eligible learners who need to complete it.

Is this a one-day Level 5 qualification?
No. One practical training day is included, alongside remote theory, written assignments, knowledge-based assessments, practical competency assessments and a portfolio. Further practical evidence, assessor observation and repeated competent performance are required in accordance with ProQual's requirements. Attendance at one training day does not by itself achieve the qualification.
Which laser is used and do I need a model?
Training uses a professional Q-switched Nd laser. The practical day includes tutor demonstrations, equipment familiarisation, safe operation, consultation and tattoo assessment, treatment preparation, laser safety and supervised treatment. Each student must bring a suitable live model.

The separate regulated Award covers optical radiation hazards, eye protection, controlled treatment environments, risk assessments, equipment safety and professional responsibilities. Learners who do not already hold the Award can complete it as part of their training pathway at no additional cost, subject to eligibility and qualification requirements.
Is the £99 annual Core Knowledge update included?
No. Eclipse offers the annual Core Knowledge update separately for £99 to refresh laser safety knowledge. The initial safety Award is included at no additional cost for eligible learners who need it; the update is a separate option.
