Our goal is to provide a credible basis of standards of competence regarding laser safety and operation
that may be used by other professional organizations and regulatory agencies as a
foundation for developing their own laser related standards of practice and
regulatory requirements.

Please note that the Laser
Certification process by the NCLE indicates a base level of competency in
operating medical laser equipment in a safe manner, by indicating knowledge of
basic Laser Biophysics & Energy Concepts, and Laser Safety practices and
procedures by the holder of the Certification. NCLE Certification is NOT
intended to be a Certification nor indication of competency in performing
medical or aesthetic procedures in any way. Such medical certification is
covered under State Medical Boards. NCLE Laser Certification indicates
academic competency in operating the laser equipment and understanding pertinent
safety issues, and is adjunctive to the medical
certification or licensing process.
Some States may opt to use the NCLE Laser Certification as one of the criteria
for State licensing of individuals to perform laser procedures under the
supervision of a qualified physician.
