Why 2 days matters
Ear wax removal looks simple. Done badly it causes perforations, infections, and hearing damage. Learning to do it safely — and recognizing when not to treat — takes time. A single day isn't enough.
Patient Safety
You need time to build confidence, understand patient behaviour, and practise on real ears under supervision. A 1-day course can't deliver that — and unsafe practice has clinical consequences for your patients.
Compliance & credibility
Banks, insurers, referring healthcare professionals, and employers want to see you've trained with a credible, fully compliant provider. A short or online-only course doesn't pass that test — and they know it.
Your Peace of Mind
Two days means you leave qualified and confident — not still learning on the patients you treat next week. Time to ask questions, repeat techniques, and build real clinical judgement.
The UK Ear Training course is designed to teach you the safest ways to treat patients using the latest, proven techniques. Our in-depth program covers everything required to begin practising as soon as you complete the course — including anatomy and physiology, key removal techniques, how to refer patients to GPs, and how to attract new patients.
Our course covers all three core methods used in the UK: microsuction, water irrigation, and manual instrumentation. By the end of day one you will have extensive knowledge of the equipment used, including irrigation and microsuction machines, otoscopes, loupes, and manual instruments.
Throughout the course you will see how to deal with patients face-to-face — including managing anxious patients, explaining the process, aftercare advice, and onward referrals.
We also share business and marketing strategy to give you a fast-track approach to building your clinic.
