If you can do very, very, basic equation solving, you may find the ILDA LSO safety course is better suited.

Any laser safety course you can take is beneficial. Will it help you with CDRH, somewhat when you create your product report, in terms of understanding safeguards and practices, and planning. Will it help you with your event insurance... Yes in terms of obtaining it for the first time, but may not lower costs... Will it help you deal with event planners, venues, and local safety inspectors or fire marshals, in some ways VERY Much yes. If you are planning a technology career, take a course.

Will you sleep far better and feel safer using lasers in public after a Laser Safety course, yes... Will I sleep better knowing you have taken a course, hell yes...

The industrial course will be a bit at odds with our laser show practices, as a variance is a permit to deviate from standard laser safety procedures. If you want to sign up, you may want to see if Rockwell can tailor part of the course for you before signing up. I suspect if your taking it in the Detroit region it will be focused on manufacturing, It may not save you money, but it will make life easier for you in terms of understanding the paperwork and rules.

See if you can do the ILDA Course by booking a cheap filght to Orlando and do it in person. ILDA course is much cheaper and will serve you far better. The fellow who wrote the ILDA course used to work closely with or know folks at Rockwell....
