NSTPA
The National Spray Tan Professional Association
The National Spray Tan Professional Association (NSTPA) is an independent, brand-neutral organization dedicated to advancing the sunless tanning industry through education, certification, and professional development. Their mission is to elevate industry standards and empower artists through inclusive, unbiased training that supports all spray tan professionals—regardless of the products or brands they choose to work with.
Our Partnership with NSTPA
While Sjolie is not affiliated with NSTPA as an organization, we’ve partnered with them to offer a Product Theory Mini-Course on their online platform. This collaborative effort allows us to share our expertise in sunless tanning ingredients and formulation science with a wider audience of beauty professionals. By contributing to NSTPA’s diverse curriculum, we’re helping artists gain a deeper understanding of sunless products and their role in achieving optimal tanning results—no matter what brand they use in their business.
Our Partnership with NSTPA
NSTPA’s online training is designed to support both new and experienced spray tan professionals with in-depth, brand-neutral education. Their Master Course is a reading-based, self-paced program that covers essential topics to help you build a strong foundation in sunless tanning, including:
- Industry protocols and professional standards
- Client consultations and customization techniques
- Equipment knowledge and solution selection
- Business strategies and professional growth
- Troubleshooting and maintaining client satisfaction

Is the NSTPA Master Course affiliated with and controlled by Sjolie?
No, the Master Course is independently created and managed by NSTPA. However, Sjolie has partnered with NSTPA to offer a separate, additional Product Theory Mini-Course on their platform.
What’s included in the NSTPA Master Course?
The Master Course includes reading-based lessons covering the foundations of spray tanning—industry standards, client consultations, equipment use, solution selection, and business practices. It does not include tutorials or videos.
Can I get a refund after purchasing the course?
All NSTPA course purchases made through our website are non-refundable. Because access to the course is granted immediately upon purchase, we’re unable to offer cancellations, exchanges, or refunds. Please review all course details carefully before completing your purchase.
Do I need to complete the Master Course before taking the Product Theory Mini-Course?
Not at all. You’ll purchase and take the Product Theory Mini-Course in addition to the Master Course, or purchase it separately at a later time.
Is the course available internationally?
The NSTPA courses are available in select countries and are currently offered in English only. While many international students can access the platform, availability may vary depending on your location. We recommend ensuring you have a stable internet connection and reviewing NSTPA’s access requirements before purchasing.
How do I access the course after purchase?
After purchasing through our website, you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions to access your course(s) on the NSTPA learning portal.
If I buy a course now and later purchase a starter kit, can I get a refund or credit for the included course?
Sjolie Starter Kits include complimentary access to both the NSTPA Master Course and the Sjolie Product Theory Mini-Course as a bonus resource for new professionals. These courses have no monetary value when included in a kit and cannot be exchanged, refunded, or credited toward previous course purchases. If you’ve already purchased a course separately and later buy a Starter Kit, access will still be granted—but no credit or refund will be issued.
