That leaves patients looking for safe, professional private care, and for practitioners they can trust. Our one-day hands-on course teaches you to carry out microsuction, irrigation and manual removal safely. It's open to medical and non-medical backgrounds, and you leave with a CPD-accredited certificate and ongoing support.

Trained only by our own clinicians

Taught by clinicians who actually treat patients

Our trainers are practising medical professionals who have treated more than 50,000 patients. Every wax course is delivered by our own in-house clinical team, never outsourced. A lot of training companies bring in freelance locum trainers with little real ear care experience. We never have, and we never will.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a medical background?+

No. We accept both medical and non-medical backgrounds. Most attendees are nurses, HCAs, audiologists, pharmacists and other allied health professionals, but we also welcome career changers, complementary therapists and anyone with the right to work in the UK.

What pre-learning do I get before the course?+

The moment you enrol you get immediate access to the UK's most advanced ear wax removal pre-learning platform, built in-house by our own audiology and ear wax removal specialist clinicians. You cover ear anatomy, conditions, infection control, consent and the theory behind all three removal methods before you arrive.

Is the course accredited?+

Yes. It is CPD-accredited and aligned with BSA, NICE and HCPC standards. The certificate is recognised by insurers, employers and regulators for professional development purposes.

Can I start practising straight away?+

Yes, provided you have insurance and equipment. The Training + Equipment tier walks you out with the kit; you will need to arrange your own indemnity insurance. We include post-course support to help you set up.

Do I need prior wax removal experience?+

No. We teach from the ground up. Some clinical familiarity (otoscope handling, infection control basics) helps you get the most out of the day, but you don't need to have done wax removal before.

How much hands-on time will I get?+

Roughly half the day. After morning theory, you spend the afternoon on supervised microsuction, irrigation and manual instrumentation. You don't leave until you've done all three.

What's included in the free Clinic Launch System?+

Everything you need to open your doors, included free with every booking, Training only or Training + kit: a custom clinic website built on your own domain name, with 12 months' free hosting, 12 months of ManagePatients online booking, your first Google Ads campaign built for you, 30 days of ready-to-post social content, 11 clinical and compliance documents, business launch guides, company set-up advice, and accountancy and insurance referrals. Worth £1,671, and it's yours free.

How quickly will my website be ready?+

Within 7 days of your onboarding session. At onboarding we collect your domain name, clinic name, services, prices, area and photos, and that's all we need to build your website and set up your booking system, saving you weeks of research and set-up.

How many people are on each course?+

A maximum of 6, so you get plenty of hands-on practice and one-to-one time with your trainer.

Do you offer team or pharmacy training?+

Yes. We train pharmacy teams, GP practices and clinics, with pricing based on your group size. See team and pharmacy training or get in touch for a quote.
