Cosmetic Tanning Training Course

Want to learn how to have a natural looking tan all year round? Our Cosmetic Tanning course will teach you how to prepare the body and the correct way to apply the Xen-Tan products to create that all over sun kissed glow.

The Cosmetic Tanning course is a hands on application and although it takes longer to apply than spray tanning the results are fantastic. This streak free product gives an even tan and can last between 7-14 days. Throughout this course you will be taught the contra-indication, aftercare and contra-actions of the treatment.

After this cosmetic Tanning course you will receive a school diploma which will enable you to get full insurance. You will also be given the opportunity to go on and do a NVQ or IHBC which would involve home study and returning for an assessment.

Once you successfully complete the cosmetic tanning course you will receive The Carlton Institute diploma. This will enable you to obtain public liability insurance.

Get NVQ qualified and improve your employability

You can also obtain an NVQ qualification in cosmetic tanning.

  • Externally accredited qualifications increase your chances of getting jobs as employers recognise these qualifications as work ready in the same way as GCSE's and A levels in other subjects.
  • Accredited qualifications are recognised both nationally and internationally e.g. NVQ's in England & Wales and SVQ's in Scotland. The opportunity to work abroad or on cruise ships is significantly increased by having these qualifications accredited externally.
  • You will be able to obtain public liability insurance.
  • Some advanced courses require an accredited qualification as a pre-requisite for the course.
