VLCC Brings Global Laser Certification to India with NCLC Partnership

VLCC has taken a major step by introducing Global Laser Certification access in India through a new partnership with the National Council on Laser Certification (NCLC), USA.

With this move, VLCC becomes the exclusive proctor for NCLC exams in the country, allowing professionals to earn globally recognized credentials without leaving India.

With this development, VLCC is now the sole institution in the country authorised to administer in-person NCLC certification examinations as part of VLCC’s training courses, enabling candidates from across India to participate regardless of their training background or institute of origin.

The partnership marks a significant step in aligning India’s beauty and wellness education ecosystem with global standards. By creating a single, credible access point for internationally benchmarked certification, VLCC is strengthening the pathway for Indian professionals to gain globally relevant credentials and expand their career opportunities beyond domestic markets.

The NCLC certification is widely recognised for enhancing professional credibility in the field of laser-based aesthetic treatments. Its availability in India through an exclusive testing partner is expected to address the growing demand for internationally certified practitioners, while supporting professionals seeking overseas employment opportunities, subject to applicable eligibility requirements.
