This course isn’t just a set of skills—it’s an invitation to join a movement of change-makers.
Enrolling in a legitimate, reputable course is the first step toward becoming an expert Image Consultant.

Under the mentorship of Aletté Winckler, South Africa’s beloved and trusted Image Consultant, you will be guided through a holistic and dynamic course.

By the end of the course, you will emerge not just as a certified Image Consultant, but as someone truly transformed—inside and out. While some assignments will be completed during the in-person sessions, the remainder of the course will be wrapped up online, offering continued support as you apply your new knowledge in the real world.

This interactive experience lets you showcase your newly acquired skills in real-world scenarios. You’ll also engage in shopping and styling exercises, working with a volunteer to apply your colour, style, and presentation knowledge. This practical training ensures you are ready to serve your clients with expertise and creativity.
Our course is designed to teach you the technicalities of Image Consulting and cultivate your purpose and passion for making a difference. By the end of this 2-week course, you’ll emerge with the skills to launch your Image Consulting career and the heart to guide others meaningfully, transformatively.
