In operation since 1998, the Institute
serves the needs of people who are or who want to become image
consultants.
The Institute’s
Tutors are full-time image consultants, who bring their on-the-job
experience to the course. You'll get advice directly from
active practitioners - not armchair theorists.
The Institute is wholly financed by its
members, from its courses and subscriptions, from lectures
and published material. It brings together all kinds of image
consultants, novices and long-standing experts alike.
Accreditation
We're accredited by the Open and Distance Learning
Quality Council (ODLQC).
Set up by the government in 1968, the ODLQC is one
of the prime accreditation bodies for distance learning
courses.
To achieve accreditation, we undergo a rigorous and
continuous assessment, by independent experts, of all
aspects of our work, including administration, learner
support, educational materials, and publicity. And because
we're regularly inspected, we have to we have to work
hard to maintain quality to keep that accreditation.
We're also accredited by the Better Business Bureau,
and by Public Eye.
