The Course
Most spray tan training teaches you how to spray tan. Almost none of it teaches you how to run a spray tan business. The gap between those two things is where most technicians make their most costly and avoidable mistakes — operating without the right insurance, setting prices without understanding their costs, not knowing the difference between a CPD certificate and a genuinely accredited qualification.
Setting Up Your Spray Tan Business Properly covers everything that should be in place before you work on your first paying client. Ten modules. No shortcuts. Whether you are just starting out or have been trading for years and want to check your foundations are solid — this course gives you the complete picture.
Who This Course Is For
• Technicians who are new to the industry and want to start correctly
• Anyone who has been operating for a while and wants to check everything is properly in place
• Technicians who are unsure whether their training qualifies them for professional insurance
• Anyone who has been setting prices by guesswork rather than calculation

This course gives you a clear checklist to work through and identify anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem
Yes — the insurance module covers what types of cover a spray tan technician needs, why each one matters, and what the consequences of operating without adequate cover are. It does not recommend specific insurers because the market changes and the right provider depends on your individual circumstances — but it gives you a clear brief for what to look for so you can make an informed decision rather than guessing.
Yes. The module on training covers the difference between CPD certificates and accredited qualifications, why that distinction matters specifically for insurance eligibility, and what to look for when assessing whether your current training meets professional standards. If there is a gap, the module also covers what to do about it.
If you are being paid for your work, yes — you are legally required to register as self-employed with HMRC, regardless of whether you work from home, mobile, or in a rented space. The registration module covers exactly how to do this, what your obligations are once registered, and the most common mistakes new sole traders make in their first year. Operating without registering is a risk that is entirely avoidable and this course shows you how
