Tattoo Removal Training
Ink Removal Canada Academy trains laser tattoo removal technicians in British Columbia. There are two ways in: the 2-day in-person course in Vancouver and Richmond, and the online course area that enrolled students use for their modules, quizzes and final exam.
In-person training — Ink Removal Canada Academy
The full hands-on course: two days of laser science, safety and consultations, then supervised treatment on live models — on a four-wavelength picosecond platform (532, 585, 650 and 1064 nm). Cohorts are capped at 4 trainees and run in Vancouver and Richmond, BC. Graduates receive a Certificate of Completion.
$2,250 + GST · 2 days · live models provided · max 4 per cohort

About certification in BC
British Columbia does not licence tattoo removal operators, and there is no government tattoo removal certificate — be wary of any course that claims otherwise. The Academy's credential is an honest one: a Certificate of Completion for a 2-day, hands-on course with live models, taught on the wavelengths working clinics actually use. The full explanation is on the Academy page.
