Learn more about how the laser works – it’s fascinating!
Help keep the laser in good working condition for all laser users – completing maintenance is a great way to make your monthly contribution!

*How Certification Works:

Take this class.
After the class, schedule a time to perform a complete maintenance on the laser with a Team Laser buddy who can observe and answer any questions that you have while you’re performing the maintenance.
Perform complete maintenance on the Laser with a Team Laser buddy observing (you can rinse and repeat steps 2 and 3 until you feel confident).
Once you are able to complete the maintenance by yourself, your Team Laser buddy will certify you and you can go in and do maintenance on your own!
