Frequently Ask Questions

Most STC classes are designed to be completed in about 8 hours.  Whether online or in-person, these courses can be taken in about a day.  Could you imagine that after 8 hours, you could have the knowledge you need to start your business?!  That’s the goal with STC.  But we also understand that you may need to revisit training at any point in your career.  So our students have lifetime access to training modules, so they can always reference our education when needed.

At Spray Tan Class, we happily offer online and in-person courses to meet the varying needs of our students.  If you need to learn at your own pace, on your own schedule, and don’t want to do live training – then our online course is perfect for you.  If you’d like a more hands-on learning approach where you can learn in either a private 1-1, or group environment, then our in-person courses may be a good fit for you.

Our Beginner’s Spray Tan Course is for the person who doesn’t have any experience with sunless.  If you are just starting out or even if you’ve never picked up a spray gun before – this is the class for you.

In our Beginner’s course, we start with Spray Tan basics.  We teach you how to achieve an even, gorgeous glowing tan on every client.

We also teach you the fundamentals of starting your business, securing your equipment and products, how to advertise your business, and creating a luxury spray tan experience for your clients.  You’ll also learn key pointers on how to fix common spray mistakes, which legal forms you need to protect your business (and clients), and how to avoid the potential pitfalls of being a newbie in the sunless biz.

When you finish your beginner’s course, you’ll have the technical skills, business acumen, and Glow Boss confidence to start booking clients in your area.  

In most states, as of 2021 there is no formal licensing or training requirement to become an airbrush tanning  artist. However, we do recommend contacting your state board of cosmetology to ensure that no new regulations have passed. The Spray Tan Class training program covers how to start your business and will give you a Certificate of Completion once you complete the course.

We love getting this question. The simple answer is quality and results. Technically, any person can create a program and train. Spray tanning is an incredibly easy service to learn - once you know the foundation. What separates us from the other programs out there are a few things:

- Our legacy + reputation: Spray Tan Class was founded in 2014. We were the very first brand-neutral, business focused spray tan training companies in the world. Since inception, we've had thousands of women take our courses. Many of these women can be found on our FB group here. We've helped build these women into business owners, not just spray tanning artists. Their success is a measurement of our own success as trainers and as a company. The results speak from themselves.

- On-going support + mentorship: Unfortunately, we've re-trained many students who have taken other spray tan courses at a lesser price point than what we offer. While that is understandable, it isn't always the best decision. Most inexpensive courses will teach you the basics of technique which is great! But, what happens when you have questions while you are out in the field? Many programs don't include mentoring post-training- or worse, they over-promise but underdeliver in this area of the experience. Our team of Spray Tan Class trainers are dedicated to helping you before, during and after your training so you can get glowing with the support of women who have done exactly what you are setting out to do. All of our trainers are business owners, certified in sunless tanning and have a certificate in STC's Teacher Training program. We believe that anyone can do this alone but you will get further, faster with us on your team.

- Brand-neutral education: We are focused on unbiased education so that you can make the best and most informed decisions for your own business. When training with us, it is not a sales meeting - we are here to train you so you are equipped with the proper knowledge to move forward with your business. This is so important and one of the biggest reasons our students are so successful in their own businesses.

- Finally, and quite possible the most important piece our students success, is our business focused marketing training. Many students are first time entrepreneurs or current business owners who need assistance with marketing. And, as entrepreneurs ourselves, we know that this is a crucial part of creating a sustainable, growing business. We don't want to just teach you the basics of technique - we want you to actually learn the mindset behind getting clients and what that actually takes.

At Spray Tan Class, we offer spray tan training for beginners and experienced spray tanning artists. The Beginners Certification is best for individuals with no prior experience, while the Advanced Certification Course is intended to deepen your knowledge in the field as an established artist.
