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.
