THE SMP TRAINING ACADEMY
INTRODUCTION
As Australia’s longest established and most experienced SMP provider, Aaron (Director of Hairline Solutions) will provide you with his unrivalled wealth of knowledge to enable you to enter this fantastic industry equipped with the necessary skills, equipment, products, knowledge and most importantly... the confidence to provide world class SMP treatments for clients of your own.
SMP is the fastest growing sector of hair loss remedies worldwide, and the market here in Australia is largely untapped. Aaron entered the industry in 2009 and introduced SMP to Australia with the launch of Hairline Solutions on the Gold Coast in March 2011, and has personally completed in excess of 1,300 SMP treatments as well as trained literally dozens of successful practitioners nationally.
The Hairline Solutions SMP Training Academy Master Class is the most extensive and comprehensive course in Australia, backed up by an unrivalled continual development program where Aaron and Jana are at hand to answer any questions and provide guidance as required.
You will receive an extensive package of learning materials which includes a Q & A section for your reference when dealing with inquiries following completion.
During the course you will witness treatments being performed by world class SMP practitioners all of whom have been personally trained by Aaron, as observation is a vitally important aspect of learning the Hairline Solutions SMP technique.
Some students enrol simply to learn a new skill and complete a handful of treatments to supplement their main source of income, where others have earned in excess $200,000.00 annually. The flexibility allows you to work to your own requirements.
Aaron holds Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. National Course Code TAE40116 and provides an engaging and enjoyable learning experience.

You will need to be enrolled on or hold Infection Control Certificate HLTINF005 if you reside in Queensland, and you will need to check with your local council to determine the requirements for your area of operation.
