FAQ

WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?

This course is suitable for healthcare professionals beginning their pathway in ear care or those looking to develop and formalise their earwax removal skills. It is designed for clinicians who need to perform procedures safely, correctly, and with sound clinical judgement.

WHAT WILL I LEARN ON THE COURSE?

You will learn how to carry out safe and effective otoscopy examination and earwax removal, including method selection, recognition of contraindications and red flags, and appropriate referral decision making. The course also covers infection control, consent, patient preparation, and safe procedural techniques, giving you both practical skill and clinical context.

IS THE COURSE PRACTICAL OR THEORY-BASED?

The course combines focused theory teaching with supervised, hands-on practical training. Knowledge is built first, followed by trainer demonstration, supervised practice, and formal observation assessment. This ensures delegates develop real clinical competence rather than theoretical knowledge alone.

DO I NEED OTOSCOPY EXPERIENCE?

As earwax removal is an invasive procedure that requires internal ear assessment, delegates must be competent in otoscopy and currently performing it in practice. Those without this should complete an ear anatomy and otoscopy course prior to attending.

HOW IS COMPETENCE ASSESSED?

Competence is assessed through direct observation during supervised practical wax removal procedures. Delegates receive individual feedback and complete structured documentation exercises, including clinical note writing and escalation decisions. Each delegate is observed and coached to ensure safe, consistent technique.

IS LUNCH PROVIDED?

Yes, lunch is provided. We partner with a local catering company to offer a selection of freshly prepared options, including sandwiches, savoury items, and light bites. Menus may vary by course. Please let us know any dietary requirements in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate them.

TRAVEL & PARKING INFORMATION

We’re pleased to offer complimentary on-site parking for all attendees, with our venue conveniently located just a five-minute walk from Derby train station.
