Board Certification for Medical Laser Safety Officers

The Board of Laser Safety is an adjunct of the Laser Institute of America who is the secretariat and publisher of the ANSI Z136.3 series.  The Board of Laser Safety offers the only CMLSO trademarked credentialing of certification that is recognized nationally in the laser industry.     

Certificate of Completion" vs. Board Certification

Though training and certification often complement one another, they are not interchangeable terms.  Most training programs educate attendees and offer a "Certificate of Completion" which should not be confused with certification.  

Certification is the next step in proving proficiency. 

The Board of Laser Safety certifies laser safety officers, medical and non-medical, who meet specific criteria and have passed an exam prepared by subject matter experts.

The Board of Laser Safety partners with organizations that offer training which has met specific criteria that has been approved as a pre-requisite for the CMLSO exam. 

Once an approved training course has been completed from an organization recognized by the Board of Laser Safety, the individual must complete one year experience performing the responsibilities of a MLSO as outlined in ANSI Z136.3. 

Med Spa Legal Solutions is an adjunct of the International Academy of Cosmetic Laser Sugery who offers training that has been approved by the Board of Laser Safety and meets the highest standards in the aesthetic industry for laser safety training.    

Certification in a Highly Competitive Industry

Working in the aesthetic laser industry can be highly competitive.  With board certification by the Board of Laser Safety, individuals will be qualified to position themselves to engage in the role and responsibilities of the CMLSO and meet the demand for qualified professionals.
