Core Of Knowledge in conjunction with the University Of Manchester

16th July 2025

The Lynton Lasers Training Academy is the UK's leading and dedicated Laser and IPL facility

Developed and presented in collaboration with The University of Manchester, we provide the perfect opportunity for all prospective or experienced practitioners to attain a Core of Knowledge certificate issued by an Institute of Higher Education.

Join Dr Sam Hills, Clinical Director at Lynton Lasers and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Manchester Professor Mark Dickinson in this 1-day virtual classroom to learn about the science of laser and Intense Pulsed Light.

In this virtual classroom, you will also be taught by other highly experienced Manchester University lecturers who will cover the most up-to-date information.

This course follows the syllabus as outlined by the MHRA. The British Medical Laser Association (BMLA) recommends that all laser users attend a Core of Knowledge every 5 years.

Who Should Attend?

We highly recommend this course for those who want to obtain insurance for laser and IPL systems and those interested in keeping up to date with the latest laser technologies, protocols, and regulations.

Courses are designed to accommodate delegates from different backgrounds, whether that be someone looking at Laser and IPL as a possible new direction for their business, or an experienced practitioner looking to sharpen their skills and knowledge.

Why Train with Lynton

Lynton Lasers originates from The University of Manchester, so it is natural that very close links remain between the University and Lynton’s manufacturing, research and training programmes.

As a result, we are proud to run a range of laser training courses developed in collaboration with the University’s School of Physics, providing a fantastic opportunity for delegates to receive world-leading educational content from an Institute of Higher Education. 

What Will You Get Out of It?

  • After completing this course, you will receive a Certificate in Conjunction with The University of Manchester
  • The certification required to obtain insurance for laser & IPL systems by virtue of the fact that it covers the fundamentals of laser safety, regulations and light-tissue interactions.

Up to now since lockdown, all I have done is throw myself into exercise and the kids – which is a good thing, however I have shut off from work doing only the bare minimum required to keep my business going. I am normally a very motivated person – so doing this has not been sitting well with my conscious and it’s made me feel quite low on this front.

I was in two minds whether to do this today as I have been doing laser hair removal for 8 years, ‘what more could I learn’ I thought…. I am so very happy I joined in. 

I am now brimming with ideas and enthusiasm and my passion for my business has just been reignited. In fact, I am nearly in tears and quite emotional as I type this as this is just what I need to give me a kick up the bum to get going so I don’t waste the next couple of months with my head in the sand!

Thank you so very much and pass my huge thanks onto Hayley and Kirsty too – you were all brilliant.

Expansion of Premises to Facilitate Entry into Export Markets

To facilitate its entry into new export markets, Lynton Lasers Ltd required increased manufacturing space, as well as new demonstration and training facilities. To this end, LEADER Funding was applied for, and won, to support the refurbishment of an adjacent business unit (Unit 9d) as well as the re-arrangement and refurbishment of the existing business unit (Unit 6) on Holmes Chapel Business Park.

This Project was part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development
