Image consultants can change lives

You’ve probably seen image consultants on TV transform the looks of people who struggle when it comes to dressing themselves suitably. You’ve seen the positive impact that a new image can have on people. And you’ve seen that there is a demand for image consultants that can make a person’s outer body reflect their beauty inside.

Good or bad, society these days focuses heavily on appearance. So many people get left behind because they have little or no idea of what they should wear. And when they continually struggle to dress right, they give up and don’t care anymore, resulting in knock backs and damaged self-confidence.

That’s why they need help from lucky people like you who have a natural flair for colours, shape, and most importantly fashion. You can transform them from a blur in the background to a walking masterpiece.

There is a demand

There are many different reasons why potential clients might need an image consultant.

1. They could want to have a more professional image because they’ve got a new job.
   
2. Alternatively, they could be going for an interview and need some style advice to help them progress in their career.
   
3. They might want to find a partner, and don’t have enough confidence in their appearance to approach the person of their dreams.
   
4. Their friends might be constantly telling them to make more effort, but they just don’t know what suits them.
   
5. They might be stuck in the past and unable to dress their age.

There are so many different fashion disasters out there. You’ve seen them for yourself! You can help these people and earn a living at the same time.

Our Diploma in Image Consulting course can teach you how to market your business so that these potential clients know how to contact you and use your services. Within a short amount of time your diary could be chock full of people desperate for your valuable opinion.

Why do I need to study an image consultancy course? I already know about fashion.

You might already know how to dress well, but this doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to persuade people to change their ways.

You might know what colours suit weight, height, hair colour and skin tone etc, but you need to have a broad range of styles in your mind to be able to meet the image needs of each of your clients. They’re all individuals with different needs, wants and problems.

Additionally, you’ll need to know how to create a plan for the client’s integration of their new look. They’ll need easing in so that they get used to their new way of life and know how to go out and buy the right things. Your job’s not complete until you can safely say you’ve put the client back on track to leading a happier existence.

The course will teach you how to do this and more. You’ll learn how to conduct your first meeting with your client. You’ll know how long to make it last, what to charge and how to plan for the follow-up meetings.

Our distance learning course is unique

The Diploma in Image Consulting is different from other distance learning courses. It’s written especially for people who want to run their own business. People who like to take command of their own destiny and who want to reap the rewards of running the show.

You’ll find out how to set up your image consulting business. You need to know about tax, business costs and creating a business plan.

Plus, you’ll learn how to market your services so that you capture the interest of the wide variety of potential clients that are shouting out for people like you to make a positive difference to their life.

Your personal tutor

The best way to learn is from a professional. And with our distance learning course you’ll be able to contact your tutor, a practising image consultant. They’ll have experience in the field and will be able to answer your questions.

You won’t just change their fashion sense

Many of your future clients won’t just have issues when it comes to picking the right clothes off the fashion rails. They’ll probably also lack confidence in themselves and their appearance. How else do you think they got themselves into this mess? It will be part of your job to help them take pride in their appearance and to get them to believe in themselves.

This is where your people skills really come into play. You’ll have to work on each and every client to make sure they have strong belief in themselves and the way they look. You can motivate them to see that they do look good as long as they wear the right clothes.

How long does the Diploma course take?

Many students take nine months to complete the course. If you're busy, it could take you eighteen months. If you have spare time and you're prepared to work hard, you could complete the course in three months. But unlike other organisations, we set no time limit. You can take as long as you want. You study at your pace, not ours.

Your qualification

Students who satisfactorily complete the course are awarded the Diploma in Image Consulting. They receive the certificate, and the right to use the words Dip. IC (Inst. IC).

When you complete the course

Once you complete the image consulting course, we send information about your success to your local newspapers (if you want). It's a good way of telling potential clients that you're available.

Our guarantee

It's hard to know whether the course will suit you. And you probably have lots of unanswered questions. If you call us on 0800 781 1715 in the UK or + 61 2 9620 4066 in Australia, we'll try to answer your queries.

But we also offer a guarantee: if you don't like the course (for any reason), just email us to cancel at any time within 60 days of receiving your pack, and we'll refund your course fees. Conditions apply

Why do we give this refund? Because we don't like to part on bad terms (life's too short). And we'd prefer you to say nice things about us.

But, you ask, does anyone actually claim a refund? Absolutely! Around five per cent of our students ask for their money back each month. And we're happy to pay them, because we know that the best course in the world won't suit every single person.
