Yes! With immediate full course access! Payment plans available at checkout for those who qualify.
Yes. We made a calculated decision at the Body Contouring Academy to offer 100% web-based learning, online courses that busy people can take and finish quickly, all the while continuing with their current responsibilities.
Each of the body sculpting courses is in written format. The written material includes audio narration that explains and expands upon the written material. There is some demonstration video material and downloadable pdf forms.
The courses are designed to be easy to follow and easy to apply. And since you get lifetime access to the course, you can refer back to it any time...and use it to train new staff.
Enrolling in our courses couldn’t be easier. Simply choose the course and click the Enroll Now! Button, and you will be directed to register an account and pay for your course.
The courses vary in length, with the Masterclass courses being the longest. You should be able to finish the online portion of all of any of the courses in less than 4 hours. Practicing your treatments after you complete the coursework is essential and will take additional time. You can refer back to the course material any time because you have lifetime access to the course.
The Body Contouring Academy’s online courses are provided in an online educational platform that is available 24/7, so you can enroll at any time.
We design our courses and protocols to give you step-by-step instructions, task you with practice, and direct you to treat your VIP’s or friends/family to master your techniques. We also make ourselves available to you to answer your questions and give you feedback.
You have lifetime access to your courses. You can go back and review the course material anytime you need to. And as your business grows, you can use the course to train your staff and for new hires.
We cannot say we’ll never consider in-person education, but we specifically chose online education because we feel its best suited for our students, most of whom are busy people with other obligations.
No, there are no exams or roadblocks to your success. We believe in treating our students as professionals, so we do not require exams.
No, there are no prerequisites to take any of our online body contouring certification courses.
No, you do not have to be a licensed professional to take our online body contouring certification courses.
Yes, you may take the courses. Because licensure rules vary from state to state, we recommend you check the rules in your particular state (or country) to make sure your licensing authority does not expressly forbid you to perform body contouring. In our experience, most licensing agencies do not specifically address body contouring in the rules, regs or FAQ.
Yes, students of any profession or school may take these courses.
You will receive your body contouring certificate in a digital format immediately upon completion of your online body contouring certification course. You can get it as quickly as you complete the course work. And you earn a separate Certificate for each course you take and each new technology you learn.
You can find the price of the exact machines we use on our website. We recommend you select those because our courses are designed based upon those particular machines. You can purchase the machines through the Amazon links found on that page. The prices are also listed on the links. Click here.
No. We do not sell machines because you can purchase machines at cost on Amazon. We do not want to be the “middle man” that purchases machines, then marks them up to sell to our students.

Most states do not require a license or registration to perform the treatments we teach in our courses. But when considering starting any kind of business, it's good to research the local and state authorities for specific rules, regulations and requirements. We cannot give legal advice.
No, we don’t restrict our courses to licensed professionals. Since our courses are open and designed for any person who is interested in becoming a body contouring professional or opening a body contouring business, the courses are not accredited for professional continuing education credits. But we’re happy to say we’ve had many licensed professionals, nurses, estheticians, massage therapists, etc., enroll, learn and become successful body contouring professionals!
