Stop Wasting Thousands on Courses That Don’t Legally Make You a Trainer

Nothing frustrates me more than watching passionate, hardworking people spend thousands of dollars on salon-run “trainer” courses — only to walk away without any real credentials.
Let me say this as clearly as I can:
If you don’t hold a nationally accredited Cert IV in Training & Assessment through an RTO — you are not legally a trainer in Australia.
And right now, too many body sculpting professionals are being misled by businesses offering short courses, handing over a certificate, and claiming you can now "train others."
That’s simply not true — and it’s costing good people thousands.
What Is the Cert IV in Training & Assessment /(TAE40116)?
The Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (TAE40122/TAE40116) is the only nationally recognised qualification that allows you to legally train and assess students in Australia.
It’s not optional. It’s not just for schools.
It’s required by the Australian government and recognised across all industries — from education and health to fitness, beauty, and body contouring.
>If you want to be recognised as a trainer in the body sculpting industry — or in any industry — you must hold this accreditation through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
Why Your Current “Trainer” Certificate Might Mean Nothing
Let’s be blunt: if your training came from a business that’s not an RTO and didn’t include the Cert IV in Training & Assessment,
then you are not a legally recognised trainer in Australia.
Your certificate:
↻ Is NOT Nationally Accredited
↻ Is not compliant with training standards
↻ Will not be accepted by any registered education body or government organisation
TAE40116 vs TAE40122
What You Need to Know:
There are two versions:
TAE40116 – The previous version (still recognised for now)
TAE40122 – The current and most up-to-date requirement moving forward
If you’re unsure what you’ve completed — or want to explore Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) — contact me and I’ll help you step-by-step.
Bodi Slim’s Dual Certification: The Only Program Made for Body Sculpting Trainers
This is where everything changes.
Bodi Slim has partnered with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to offer a dual certification program that actually makes sense for people in the body contouring industry.
You’ll receive:
1. Your Nationally Recognised Cert IV in Training & Assessment (TAE40122)
This is your legal qualification — the one that allows you to train others in any industry, including beauty and body sculpting.
2. Bodi Slim’s Industry-Specific Trainer Mentorship
What makes this unique is how we deliver it.
I personally guide you through the entire Cert IV journey using body sculpting-specific examples, including:
✴ Choosing body contouring-related topics for your training and presentations
✴ Building your own compliant training resources for treatments like fat freezing, RF, EMS, BBL
✴ Learning how to assess future students in a beauty/salon training setting
✴ Completing your Cert IV while staying aligned with the industry you actually work in
You’ll be trained by someone who lives and breathes this industry — not a corporate trainer who doesn’t even know what fat cavitation is.
Why This Qualification Matters So Much
When you complete this program:
➤You are legally qualified to train and assess others
➤You can create and deliver your own nationally compliant training program
➤You are recognised across all major employment sectors in Australia
➤You’re protected. You’re respected. You’re real.
You won’t just be certified —
You’ll be accredited.
Don’t Waste Thousands on Fake Recognition
If you’ve been dreaming of becoming a trainer in body sculpting,
please don’t fall for short courses with no accreditation, no backing, and no long-term value.
Your money should go toward a qualification that:
➤Actually counts
➤Is government recognised
➤Sets you up for life as a professional trainer
