Spray Tan Online Course
Spray tanning is one of the most in-demand beauty services right now, and for good reason. It gives clients that sun-kissed glow without the harmful UV rays, and it’s a service that fits perfectly in salons, spas, and even freelance beauty businesses. With our Spray Tan Online Course, you can learn everything from application techniques to client preparation and aftercare, all from the comfort of your own home.
What you'll learn on this spray tan course
The course takes you through the full treatment, step by step, in 37 video lessons:
- Client consultation, contraindications and skin conditions to look out for
- How DHA works and how to choose the right shade for each skin tone
- Pre-tan advice so your clients arrive prepared
- Setting up your spray tan machine and pop-up tent
- Full-body application, including the back, for smooth, even coverage
- Aftercare, troubleshooting streaks and patchiness, and cleaning your equipment
- Health and safety for you and your client
Who this course is for
Complete beginners who want a first beauty qualification, nail technicians and beauty therapists adding tanning to their treatment menu, and anyone planning to work mobile or from home. You don't need any previous experience.
Why spray tanning is a good service to offer
Spray tans are quick appointments, clients rebook them regularly, and the set-up is small enough to bring to clients' homes. In Irish salons a full-body spray tan typically costs €25–€40. Demand peaks around weddings, debs, communions, holidays and the Christmas party season, so a spray tan service can fill your diary at busy times of the year.
The professional spray tan kit
You can take the course on its own for €100, or for €220 with the professional kit: a spray tan machine, a pop-up tent and 1 litre of NSI Elite Tan. Buying the kit with the course is the best value, as buying it separately later costs more once VAT and delivery are added.
Certification and insurance
The course is accredited by AIT (Associated Irish Therapists) and ABT (Associated Beauty Therapists). When you complete the lessons and pass your case studies, you receive your accredited certificate. You can then apply for professional insurance. Requirements vary between insurers, so confirm with your chosen provider before you start treating clients.

FAQ
-
What’s the correct technique for applying an even spray tan?
To achieve an even tan, it's important to use smooth, continuous motions while holding the spray gun about 6–8 inches from the skin.
-
How do I avoid common mistakes like orange tones or uneven fading?
Orange tones are usually caused by using the wrong DHA level for a client’s skin tone. During the course, you'll learn how to match the right formula and prep the skin properly to ensure even fading and natural results.
-
Do I need my own equipment to take the course?
You can take the course on its own for €100 and use your own equipment, or choose the €220 option, which includes a spray tan machine, a pop-up tent and 1 litre of NSI Elite Tan. Buying the kit with the course is the best value, as buying it separately later costs more once VAT and delivery are added.
