Diploma in Image Consulting Distance Learning CourseImage 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.

Rightly or wrongly, society places importance 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.

Do I have what it takes to become an image consultant?

Are you prepared to work through the good times as well as the bad times to help your clients improve their image? It won’t be as easy as taking a quick trip into the local department store and abracadabra a new person is born. Instead you’ll often have to work hard to build your clients’ confidence and self-worth.

Stay positive though… Remember, you’ll be going shopping for a living! You’ll have your finger on the pulse when it comes to new fashions and trends. And you’ll know that you’ve helped your clients work towards the lifestyle and image that they’ve always wanted.

It’s your job to live by example. You’ll have to be motivated to look great each and everyday. Are you prepared to take up this new and exciting challenge?



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.

Student Success Story

"Since I graduated, I worked freelance as an Image Consultant successfully, concentrating on the personal shopper, wedding make up and wardrobe wedding aspect of my trade. Then, due to a down-turn in the market and consequent recession, I was offered a job as Manager and head buyer for a designer Ladieswear boutique. I have worked there for just under two years and now am the Official Personal Shopper for Hitchin and am opening my own boutique in the same town.

I use my skills daily and have a regular stream of ladies that require my assistance.

I aim to combine the two trades and hold style evenings, style and shape direction and trend talks within my store."

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.
