Operators will be required to meet the didactic training requirements by attending an approved course.

Operators active before April 1, 2005 must demonstrate through documentation (CLS certification and RMLC college transcript) that they meet the rule's didactic training including time and subject requirements.

In both cases supervision must be provided by a licensed practitioner. If the operator is unable to provide documentation to demonstrate the required didactic training they shall attend an approved course (Rocky Mountain Laser College) meeting the rule standards.

Additionally, all operators must be able to provide documentation by the licensed practitioner, that the operator has met the direct supervision and observation requirements, is competent and adequately trained to safely perform treatments as ordered by the licensed practitioner.
