CLINIK TRAINING
Since 2012, CLINIK has invested a lot of time and energy in staff training. Our internal training structure has always evolved to constantly improve and thus offer all our teams a training worthy of the profession of Skin & Laser Practitioner.
The goal is to practice the profession in a safe manner and adapted to each client in order to obtain an optimal result. This approach to training combined with medical supervision allows us to benefit from a degree of expertise that we are proud to share with our clients.
EVOLUTION OF THE SWISS LAW
As of June 1, 2024, only people holding a recognized certificate of competence will be able to perform laser hair removal treatments.
Indeed, the removal of hair using a laser is an aesthetic treatment that generates non-ionizing radiation. In order to ensure that these treatments are carried out in accordance with the regulations, the Federal Act on Protection against the Risks associated with Non-Ionizing Radiation and with Sound (NIRSA) prescribes appropriate measures in the O-NIRSA Ordinance.
THE ROLE OF CLINIK
In the context of this new law and based on our experience in training, CLINIK Laser Hair Removal will become, as of 2023, an official trainer of the Laser Hair Removal certificate of competence in partnership with ASEPIB. This change in regulations will bring a long-awaited framework and clarity to the permanent hair removal sector.
We are proud that the practice of laser hair removal is becoming a recognized profession and that regulations are being put in place for the benefit of clients and players in this sector.
Our mission is to certify all our employees by 2024. Training will also be integrated into future recruitments so that we can support all existing and new employees in obtaining the certificate of competence. In this way, we will also offer the opportunity to people interested in a professional reconversion in the beauty sector to take this step in an easier way thanks to recognized diplomas at the end of the cycle.
STRUCTURE OF THE CERTIFICATION OF COMPETENCE
The attestation of competence is composed of three modules: the “Bases” module, the “Technologies” module and the “Laser Hair Removal” module. Modules 1 and 2 will be taught by ASEPIB professionals, while Module 3 will be taught directly by our medical experts. All training sessions will take place at our headquarters in Bussigny.
There are two paths, depending on the training and previous experience, to obtain the certification of competence.
01
Path 1 is for all those who do not meet any of the conditions set for path 2 and for people who are changing careers. In this case, the “Bases” module must be taken and validated by passing an exam. The person may then take the “Technologies” module and, after successfully completing this module, take the standard “Laser Hair Removal” module. Successful completion of the examination for the latter module leads to the granting of the certificate of competence.
02
Path 2 is intended for beauticians with a CFC (or French BTS recognized by Switzerland), medical estheticians with a federal patent (BF) or federal master’s degree (MF), dermapigmentologists with a higher professional training diploma, podiatrists with a CFC and ES, and TCM acupuncturists. They do not have to take the “Bases” module and start directly with the “Technologies” module. After successful completion of this module, an extended “Laser hair removal” module consisting of the regular “Laser hair removal” module and a shortened “Bases” module must be taken. Successful completion of the extended module examination leads to the granting of the certificate of competence.
