Frequently Asked Questions

The Certified Laser Specialist® course is $6,500. That includes tuition, class materials, workbooks, live models, and lunch each day of in-person training. There are no hidden fees.

In just one week of hands-on training, you can build practical laser skills that may help you add services, strengthen your resume, and increase your earning potential.

Rocky Mountain Laser College is located at 8015 W Alameda Ave, Suite 220, Lakewood, Colorado 80226. Lakewood is about 10 minutes west of downtown Denver. This is our only location.

You train in a real clinical setting with experienced instructors. That is a big reason many people choose us over online-only options.

Rocky Mountain Laser College does not offer in-house financing, Title IV financial aid, FAFSA, or Pell Grants. You can explore outside financing options listed on the course cost page, including credit cards or personal loan providers. Those options are not affiliated with the college.

We built this program to help qualified students step into cosmetic laser work faster, without putting life on hold for months or years.

The course is 60 hours total. You complete 20 hours of online pre-work at your own pace before attending 40 hours of in-person classroom and hands-on training. The in-person portion runs Monday through Friday.

You can complete your hands-on week in one week and leave with practical experience guided by full-time laser professionals who do this work every day.

The course is typically offered once per month. Students complete the self-paced online portion first, then attend the scheduled in-person training week.

That schedule makes it easier to fit laser training into your life.

We designed this course for licensed estheticians, cosmetologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physicians, and other licensed medical professionals. Your job options will depend on your license, your state’s rules, and the services employers expect you to perform.

However, we do have unlicensed people come through our programs.

Yes. We are currently creating a course that will be available this year.

If you are flying in, plan to arrive before the in-person week begins and depart after training ends on Friday. Many students stay near the college for convenience during the hands-on week.

Because you complete the hands-on portion in one week, this program can work well if you are traveling in from out of town.

We often recommend the Hyatt House Belmar because it is close to the college and nearby shopping. You are free to stay wherever is most convenient for you.
