What is body contouring training?

Body contouring training teaches you how to perform non-invasive aesthetic treatments that reduce localised fat, tighten skin, and improve body shape without surgery or downtime. Our course covers ultrasonic cavitation, radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening, vacuum therapy, microcurrent, and cryo lift techniques, along with the consultation, safety, and business skills needed to offer these treatments professionally.

Who can enrol in the course?

Our course is designed for a wide range of students: beauty therapists, dermal therapists, nurses, cosmetic nurses, allied health professionals, salon and clinic owners, and complete beginners with no previous experience. Whether you are starting a new career or adding body contouring to your existing services, you can enrol. No prior qualification is required.

Do I need previous beauty experience?

No. Our course is designed for complete beginners as well as experienced beauty professionals. We start from the fundamentals — anatomy, physics, client communication — and take you through to professional practitioner level. Many of our graduates had zero experience when they started and now run successful body contouring businesses.

Is practical training included?

Yes. Practical, hands-on training is a core part of the course. You will train on real, professional equipment under expert guidance in a supportive small-group setting. We believe practical competency is essential — you cannot learn body contouring from theory alone.

Where is the course held?

Our training is held at Bunjil Place, 2 Patrick Northeast Drive, Narre Warren VIC 3805 — in Melbourne’s south-east. The venue is easily accessible via the Princes Highway and Monash Freeway, approximately 40 minutes from the Melbourne CBD. Students travel from across Melbourne, regional Victoria, and interstate to attend.

What equipment is included?

Your course includes professional starter equipment so you can begin offering treatments immediately after graduation. The equipment covers 40kHz cavitation, 80kHz cavitation, bipolar RF, eye/facial RF, vacuum RF, six-polar body RF, microcurrent photon, and cryo lift functions. This is a significant value proposition — one investment covers both your training and the equipment you need to start taking clients.

What will I learn in the course?

You will learn 7 high-demand body contouring and skin tightening modalities: 40kHz cavitation, 80kHz cavitation, bipolar RF, vacuum RF, six-polar body RF, microcurrent photon, and cryo lift. The course also covers anatomy and physiology, client consultation and assessment, treatment planning, contraindications, client safety, infection prevention, documentation, aftercare, and a complete business system including pricing, client acquisition, and setup.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes. Upon successful completion of the course you receive a Certificate of Completion from National Aesthetics Training. This is a private certificate of completion — it is not a government-accredited qualification, not a nationally recognised training (RTO) qualification, and not an AQF certification. It documents that you have completed professional training in body contouring and skin tightening.

Is National Aesthetics Training an RTO?

No. National Aesthetics Training is a private training provider, not a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). Our course is not nationally recognised training under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and does not result in a Certificate III, Certificate IV, or Diploma. We provide professional, industry-focused training and a private Certificate of Completion. If you specifically require an AQF qualification, you should enrol with an RTO. If you want practical, hands-on training focused on real-world body contouring skills, our course is designed for you.

Is the course nationally recognised?

No. Our course is not nationally recognised training under the Australian Qualifications Framework. It is a private, industry-focused certification. However, the skills and knowledge you gain are aligned with current industry practices in the Australian aesthetics and body contouring sector. Many insurance providers and employers in the aesthetics industry recognise private certifications like ours. We recommend checking with your insurance provider and local council about their specific requirements.

How is competency assessed?

Competency is developed through a combination of course attendance, hands-on practice during training, and post-course practical experience. During the course, you will practice each modality under expert supervision. We assess your understanding of theory, safety protocols, and practical technique. However, attendance alone does not necessarily demonstrate full competency — that is why we require post-course practical experience.

How much practice is required after training?

We require a commitment to completing a minimum of 25 hours of post-course practical experience, ideally by treating at least 25 volunteer models (approximately one hour per treatment). This is because professional competency is developed through ongoing practice and experience following training. This post-course practice helps you build confidence, refine your technique, and develop the practical skills needed before providing treatments independently. We position this positively — National Aesthetics Training values practical competency, safety, and confidence, not simply course attendance.

Can I start my own body contouring business?

Yes. Many of our graduates start their own body contouring businesses, including home-based studios, mobile services, and clinic-based practices. Body contouring requires minimal space and has a low barrier to entry. Our course includes business training covering pricing, client acquisition, setup, and marketing. However, you must comply with all applicable local council, health, and insurance requirements relevant to your location and circumstances.

What insurance may I need?

Most body contouring practitioners need professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Requirements vary depending on your location, the treatments you offer, your professional background, and your insurance provider. We recommend contacting insurance providers that cover aesthetics and beauty treatments to confirm their requirements before you start practising. Our course provides the knowledge and protocols to perform treatments safely, but insurance is your responsibility.

Do I learn cavitation in the course?

Yes. You will learn both 40kHz and 80kHz ultrasonic cavitation. 40kHz cavitation targets fat reduction using ultrasonic waves for stubborn areas, while 80kHz cavitation provides gentler, deeper fat breakdown for sensitive areas. You will learn the theory, application, safety protocols, and hands-on technique for both.

Do I learn radiofrequency in the course?

Yes. You will learn multiple radiofrequency (RF) modalities: bipolar RF for skin tightening and collagen stimulation, eye/facial RF for wrinkle reduction, vacuum RF for enhanced fat reduction, and six-polar body RF for full-body skin tightening and contouring. RF is one of the most in-demand non-invasive skin tightening treatments.

What is the difference between cavitation and RF?

Ultrasonic cavitation targets and disrupts fat cells using sound waves, making it ideal for localised fat reduction. Radiofrequency (RF) uses heat energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production, making it ideal for skin tightening and anti-ageing. Both are non-invasive, and combining them produces superior body contouring results. Our course covers both modalities in depth so you can offer comprehensive treatment plans.

Can students travel from interstate?

Yes. Students regularly travel from interstate — including NSW, Queensland, South Australia, and Tasmania — to attend our Melbourne training. Our one-day intensive format makes it practical to fly in and out. Narre Warren is approximately 40 minutes from Melbourne Airport and accessible via major highways.

What should interstate students plan for?

Interstate students should plan travel and accommodation to arrive the evening before the course. Narre Warren has nearby accommodation options, and Melbourne Airport is approximately 50 minutes away. We recommend booking flights that allow you to arrive the night before and depart the evening of the course day or the following morning. Contact us if you need recommendations for nearby accommodation.

You are not alone after graduation — you stay connected with continued guidance as you build and grow your aesthetics business, and you become part of a network of fellow practitioners. We are invested in your long-term success, not just your course attendance.

When will I receive my training materials?

Successful applicants who have accepted their offer and completed the required enrolment steps will receive their required learning materials prior to their training session. This gives you time to study and prepare before attending your face-to-face training day.

Is professional equipment included in the course investment?

Yes. Your $4,999 AUD course investment includes professional body contouring equipment so you can continue developing your practical skills following your training. The equipment covers 40kHz cavitation, 80kHz cavitation, bipolar RF, eye/facial RF, vacuum RF, six-polar body RF, microcurrent photon, and cryo lift functions. One investment covers both your training and the equipment you need to begin offering treatments.

Is the training delivered in small classes?

Yes. National Aesthetics Training is delivered in a small-class environment designed to support practical learning, participation and individual guidance throughout your training experience. This ensures you receive hands-on practice and personalised attention as you develop your skills.

Are there competency requirements following the face-to-face training?

Yes. Attendance alone does not necessarily demonstrate full competency. We require a commitment to completing a minimum of 25 hours of post-course practical experience, ideally by treating at least 25 volunteer models (approximately one hour per treatment). Professional competency is developed through ongoing practice and experience following training, and a Certificate of Completion is issued following successful completion of all required competency requirements.

What happens when an intake reaches capacity?

When an intake reaches capacity, successful applicants may be offered a place in a future intake. We recommend applying early for your preferred intake to allow sufficient time for your application to be reviewed before the application deadline.
