2010 Course Brochure
Do you want to have a fulfilling career? When you study to become an Image Consultant multiple business opportunities will open up for you.
Image consulting is a rewarding career for people who enjoy helping others to increase their confidence and improve their personal presence. Image consultants work with their clients to help them recognise the colours which suit them best, understand which styles of clothing will make the most of their particular body shape and direct them in the way to maximise their wardrobe.
You will learn how to work with your clients and visually ascertain their body shape, their balance points and what clothing will suit them without the use of rulers, tapes measures or even a computer. You will learn how to reveal a client's clothing personality and how it affects the way they dress and feel about themselves.
Your clients will benefit from knowing you are giving them the latest colour advice which won't have them feeling only half their swatch works for them
Image consultants come from a variety of backgrounds and find that it is through their background that their future focus is often driven. You may select to focus on individual clients helping them personally, wardrobe management, personal shopping for clients or the corporate market.
Training as an Image consultant is not just for individuals who wish to start their own consultancy. It is ideal for people working in the fashion industry, boutique owners, beauty therapists, PR and HR consultants whose clients need assistance with their image as well as dress makers and stylists
