What is Image Consulting?

Image consulting is personal guidance and how to build a wardrobe in a cluster to create a variety of outfits in an affordable manner. An image consultant takes the client through a style and colour consultation, shopping and etiquette in order to promote their personal 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 is the visible representation of telling of your story, and how it 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; for you to enjoy both at home and during your consultations.

02.

Who qualifies?

You don’t have to qualify for our course as a style guru or a flavoured fashionista. Neither will we 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 a touch of 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 of earning a professional income from school, leaving age right through well as 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 grows as you build your skills base at a pace that’s right for you. Its versatile nature allows it to easily link with many other careers and businesses, including beauty therapy, hairstyling, make-up artistry, fashion styling and retail, career counselling, life coaching, blogging, vlogging, journalism and business mentoring, amongst others.

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 own life but also in many others around you. Make it count.
