You're Not a Trainer Just Because You Were Told You Are

The Truth About Body Contouring 'Trainer' Certificates in Australia

If someone told you you're a trainer because you did a 1- or 2-day course — they lied to you. And that lie is costing people thousands of dollars, lost time, and crushed credibility.

Let’s set the record straight:

In Australia, you are not a legally recognised trainer unless you hold a Cert IV in Training & Assessment (TAE40122) through an RTO.

So if you’ve done a short course from a salon owner who gave you a certificate and told you, “Now you can train others!” — you’ve been misled.

This Isn’t Just a Technicality — It’s the Law

The TAE40122 is not optional. It’s the nationally accredited training qualification required to:

• Legally train and assess students in Australia

• Be recognised as a trainer by employers, government bodies, and education institutions

• Deliver your own compliant, professional training program

  
  

Anything else is not recognised in ANY profession

And the body sculpting industry is full of people being told they're trainers — when legally, they’re not.

Why the Certificate You Got Might Be Useless

If it didn’t come from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), it’s not accredited.

That means:

• You can’t register as a trainer with any official body

• You can’t issue recognised qualifications to others

• Your title has no protection, no credibility, and no legal weight

You might have the skills to be a great trainer — but without the TAE, you’re not qualified to teach anyone.

Here’s What the Real Path Looks Like

Bodi Slim has partnered with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to deliver a dual certification program that actually gives you what you were promised:

1. Cert IV in Training & Assessment (TAE40122/TAE40116)

The legal qualification required to be a trainer in any industry — including body contouring

2. Bodi Slim’s Industry-Specific Mentorship

We guide you through the Cert IV process using body contouring-based examples. We help you:

• Build your assessments around treatments like RF, Muscle Stimulation, fat freezing, etc.

• Deliver presentations based on the industry you work in

• Become confident and compliant in delivering your own body sculpting training

This isn’t a beauty course pretending to train trainers. This is real, accredited education made for body sculpting professionals.

If you’ve already been through a fake trainer course, you’re not alone — and you didn’t fail.

They failed you.

But now it’s time to fix it.

• Get accredited the legal way

• Protect your business and your future

• Become someone others can trust and learn from
