What is Image Consulting?
Image Consulting provides personal guidance on building a wardrobe in a cluster to create a variety of affordable outfits. An Image Consultant takes the client through a style and colour consultation, shopping and etiquette to promote their brand as part of promoting themselves. It is the unique combination of skills, experience, and personality that you want the world to see you. It represents telling your story and reflects your conduct, behaviour, communication and attitudes.
01.
Why Choose Us?
Since we make it our mission to constantly monitor and stay on top of the latest trends in the industry, our students can expect course content and material that is up-to-date and excessively interesting. Furthermore, an extensive range of top-quality, state-of-the-art product samples complements the course, which you can enjoy at home and during consultations.
02.
Who Qualifies?
You don’t have to qualify for our course as a style guru or a flavoured fashionista. We will not label you according to your business background. However, we advise that individuals enrolling in this course are older than 18, have finished their schooling and consider whether they truly enjoy working with people and are willing to learn. Much positive energy, rounded off with entrepreneurial skill, will count in your favour.
03.
Career-change at Any Age
Image Consultancy is one of the few professions offering individuals the chance to earn a professional income from school leaving age and past the standard retirement period. Most of your clients might fall into a mature group simply because people seem to relax a little and relate better with their peers the older they become.
Are you tired of the rat race? Maybe it’s time to make the change and pursue the career of your dreams!
Not just an Image Consultant…
Image Consultancy is a career that allows you to start small and gradually grow as you build your skills base at a pace that’s right for you. Its versatile nature allows it to easily integrate with many other careers and businesses, including beauty therapy, hairstyling, makeup artistry, fashion styling and retail, career counselling, life coaching, blogging, vlogging, journalism, and business mentoring.
Many consultants build their businesses on a part-time, home-based model. For many of these consultants, the need to expand beyond this model never arises – even when they move toward a more corporate image. Remember, this is your chance to make a change – not only in your life but also in many others around you. Make it count.
