Safe, structured, professional training.
The course is structured around safe practice, patient assessment, infection control, clinical decision-making and the practical skills needed to carry out ear wax removal responsibly. Built to the standard your insurer expects.
All three removal methods, hands on.
Microsuction
A fine suction probe lifts wax under magnification with no water, so it suits almost every patient including those with perforations or grommets.
Ear irrigation
Controlled warm-water irrigation using a modern electronic unit, performed safely to current best practice rather than the old syringing most people remember.
Manual instrumentation
Precise removal using probes and hooks under direct vision. The skill that lets you finish what suction and water cannot.
Pre-course learning
Comprehensive material built by our clinical team, absorbed at your own pace so the theory is embedded before you arrive.
Practical training
Roughly half the day is supervised practical work. You don't leave until you've performed all three methods competently.
How the day runs.
Complete your pre-learning at your own pace: anatomy, conditions, infection control and consent.
Theory consolidation so everyone starts the practical on the same footing.
Ear anatomy, common conditions, red flags, contraindications and gaining valid consent.
Supervised microsuction, irrigation and manual instrumentation with one-to-one feedback.
We assess you on the day. If we cannot sign you off, your repeat session is free.
Finish with your CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion and a plan to start practising.
Built to the standard your insurer expects.
The full curriculum follows the regulatory and clinical guidance that governs ear care in the UK. You leave able to assess, treat and document safely, and to recognise exactly when a presentation falls outside your scope and needs onward referral.
