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.
Online Theory Day
About 7 hours of short videos, written lessons and quizzes across 17 modules, built by our clinical team. You must pass it before your practical day, and our clinical team reviews and signs off your results.
Practical training day
Because the theory is done beforehand, the day is given over to supervised practical work in a group of no more than 6. You don't leave until you've performed all three methods competently.
How the day runs.
Complete and pass your Online Theory Day at your own pace (about 7 hours). Our clinical team reviews and signs off your results before you arrive.
A quick recap of your Online Theory Day so everyone starts the practical on the same footing.
Examining ears, spotting red flags and contraindications, and gaining valid consent, applied hands-on.
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.
