Image Training FAQ – Distance Learning

Distance Learning Image Consultant and Personal Stylist Training

How do I receive my online lessons?
Your lessons will be available on this website with your unique login which after you’ve registered and paid you will receive a password to enter with. You can enter and download your lessons all at once or as you work through them.

What order should I do my lessons in?
It is recommended that you work in the order that the lessons are written as each lesson will build on the information in the lesson before and the assignments are written to ensure you are also building on your knowledge.

How many lessons are in each course?
Personal Stylist and Image Mastery for Women contains 32 Lessons

Personal Stylist and Image Mastery for Men contains 12 Lessons (the Women’s Style course is a pre-requisite)

Personal Colour Analysis Theory contains 14 Lessons – we also provide a 3 day Practical training for those who want to learn how to drape

Do I have to send you the answers to the questions within each lesson?

No each lesson has a series of self assessing questions which are designed to have you think about what is discussed within the lesson and how it applies to you personally.  But we do have assignments which you are required to submit throughout the course.

How should I set up my work notes?

There a number of ways you can save the information from this course.

You may elect to save it electronically and keep all of your notes in a file on your computer.

A notebook is another method to tracking your progress. Each lesson will be either asking you to write notes or to find images that support the concepts and ideas that you’ll be learning. You can use the notebook to keep all of your findings together.

A final solution is to print out the lessons onto single sided sheets of paper. Utilise the facing page to place any notes and examples you find as you work through each new lesson. Keep these notes together in a binder for safety and future referral.

How long do I have to complete the course?
We recommend you complete the course within six months. If you take much longer then the learning will become diluted and you will not progress as confidently. You’ll have six months from enrolment to complete this course. Assignments received after the six month anniversary from enrolling will not be graded unless you apply for an extension. Extensions can be granted upon request.

While you may read the lessons in any order the course has been specifically designed so that each lesson will build up on the information from the previous lessons. I would recommend you have a look at the course content and lesson outlines that accompany these notes to see when the assignments will be coming up with in the course.

How do I send my assignments?

Every time you add an assignment to your AoPI Dropbox  ensure you have your name, email address and phone number

We will set up an AoPI Dropbox for you to upload all your assignments so there is no need for postage or emailing of assignments.  We can then put comments on your assignments for you to refer back to.

How are my assignments marked?
Your assignments will be either marked a pass or fail. If you fail an assignment you’ll be asked to complete the assignment again. Comments will be made to help you understand what you may have missed and add some clarity or understanding of a point.
It is recommended that you do not start on your next lesson until you have successfully completed each assignment.

Do I get support? What are the support training Skype Calls?

As part of your course you will have the opportunity for a 30 minutes Skype call with your trainer after each assignment. There is another phone call that will be made after your 32nd lesson and before you commence your final assignment.

You’ll need to make an appointment and schedule a time for these calls. Your appointment for your call should be made at least three days in advance to allow us the best opportunity to make the call at a time which suits everyone.

Calls can be made via skype to your trainer who will then have the ability to use video conferencing so that you can see anything which you may be discussing. You will be able to see  your trainer as they make comments and give directions as they answers your questions.

Can I ask questions?
As with all of our courses we are constantly upgrading and re-evaluating the information within to make sure we present the best possible information for you to learn from. While there are only a number of skype calls in your training there’s no limit to the e-mail contact you can have with your instructor during your instruction. Should you be confused by anything and require further information please do not hesitate to e-mail us.

What’s next?
You may select to sit the Personal Stylist and Image Mastery for Men course. Once you have completed this course you will have all of the information to go out and start consulting in style straightaway. If you wish to continue your studies and attend a Certified Personal Colour Analysis Practical course please contact us and we will let you know when the next course is going to be available to you. Current scheduled dates for practical modules are available here.

What if the course is not for me?
If you are concerned then start with the two complimentary lessons. Once you have enrolled and received your  log-in you will have full access to the course and all of the intellectual property within it. It is for this reason that once you have enrolled refunds are not given.

Do I have to pay to do the first two lessons?
No you can start them straight away without paying any fees to see if you are interested in the information contained within them.

Will you be offering colour consulting as an online course?
At this stage we cannot see how you can effectively learn how to drape a client and recognise their personal colouring through this medium. We have a part online part classroom tutorial that will shorten the length of time you have to spend in the classroom.  Until we are convinced that what you will learn online is equivalent to an in classroom education the draping element of colour analysis will not be offered in our distance learning program.
