Foundation Course

7 Days / 50 hours

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to train to be a professional image consultant in the heart of some of the most exciting cities around the world!

The Foundation Course offers substantial, practical knowledge that will allow you to make an immediate impact on the appearance of individual clients. The scope of training includes modules in color theory and an introduction to color analysis, style building, advanced principles, body and line analysis, menswear, shopping, wardrobe strategies and makeup. In addition, you will learn client communication skills, fee structures and best practices to become a successful image consultant.

Our Foundation Course differentiates you as a certified image consultant from a fashion stylist, store associate, makeup artist or fashion house representative.

You will acquire the ability to critique individuals and execute

one-on-one consultations effectively and professionally.

 

After the course, many graduates have developed an image business for individual clients or combined image with other areas of expertise such as career and life skills coaching, etiquette, makeup, skincare, hairstyling, wedding planning, medical and weight loss clinics and counseling, among others.

The high-caliber, hands-on coaching, mentoring and individual attention you receive, reinforces the benefit of the group experience. You simply cannot get this kind of training in books or on-line. This is a fantastic opportunity if you want to gain a competitive edge as a professional image consultant.
