Why should I choose Body Art Training Group for my annual bloodborne pathogens certification?
Many bloodborne pathogens courses offered by other companies are confusing and unhelpful because they are not body art specific.
Our courses, however, give you clear and effective coaching on 3 essential things you must do as a body art professional:
• Protect your clients from infection and disease
• Prepare for inspections and exposure incidents
• Earn a solid reputation for performing body art safely
Get certified with us and you'll get a masterclass in bloodborne pathogens safety. Why settle for anything less?
What does the Body Art Training Group logo symbolize?
Hygeia was the Greek goddess of health, cleanliness, and sanitation. She was usually depicted feeding a serpent from a cup. Our logo is a stylized representation of Hygeia’s cup and serpent. It symbolizes our commitment to helping body art practitioners maintain a safe and healthful environment for themselves and their clients.
Wasn't Your Training Place the name of your website?
Your Training Place, LLC is the name of our parent company. Body Art Training Group was our course development division. In 2020, we redesigned our website and changed the name of the website from Your Training Place to Body Art Training Group.
What is the dark blue background on the top of your home page? Is it a picture of germs?
It's an image of Hepatitis B. To be precise, it's a transmission electron microscopic (TEM) image of hepatitis B virus virions. The hepatitis B virus is one of the bloodborne pathogens you'll learn about in our BBP courses. The image was taken by Betty Partin at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is used with permission.
