Personal styling is much more than just putting people into the latest fashion trends. There are psychological and personality aspects as well as age, lifestyle, colouring and body issues that you need to take into consideration. There is both a science and an art you need to learn to be successful. We will teach you all the aspects of colour and image that you really need to know to be able to work effectively, all the aspects that the shorter courses just don’t teach you. Find out more about our training here…

Program Certification

Our training is internationally certified by AICI the Association of Image Consultants International .

In-Depth, Innovative, Inspiring

“Just wanted to thank you and let you know how grateful I am that I chose to complete my training through you. I knew I wouldn’t be going straight into Image Consulting until I was home full time with the kids.

Now that I am home, I’ve started to really build my business, I have gone back through my training manuals, and am grateful they’re so comprehensive, they have reignited my passion and I feel confident I can give the best possible service.”
