WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

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.

01 · The gold standard

Microsuction

A fine suction probe lifts wax under magnification with no water, so it suits almost every patient including those with perforations or grommets.

02 · Modern best practice

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.

03 · The finishing skill

Manual instrumentation

Precise removal using probes and hooks under direct vision. The skill that lets you finish what suction and water cannot.
