"Professional operator training in the tanning market today means something totally different than it did in the 1990s," says Smart Tan Senior Vice President Joseph Levy, who has led development of Smart Tan training since 1992. "Back then, it was enough for your staff to have general knowledge about tanning. But in today's market, your training has to impact your operator's correct behavior. Does your staff really understand the nuance of properly serving a fair, Skin Type II tanning client? Does your staff really understand how IPD and DPD affect exposure times? Does your staff know how to approach exposure times for the first, second, third and fourth session for different clients?"
A properly trained staff is the best way to ensure success for your business, and it all starts with Smart Tan's Tanning Training & UV Tanning Certification.
"There is no doubt that surviving and thriving in the tanning market moving forward means assuring that your staff masters these skills," Levy says. "That's why Smart Tan raised the bar and created a behavior-based learning platform."
