What is National Laser Certification?
Continuing education is an important way to stay up to speed on industry standards and to improve one’s skills. National laser certification sets a standard that defines what it means to be a professional.
Certification is a credential earned when someone “stands” for a national or an international examination. It means these candidates have “gone the extra mile” to compare their knowledge and skills against national norms. Certification is not a substitute for training or licensing. Instead, it validates the training a person has taken.
