At Frances Bodington Associates Image Training School we offer first-class training for people who wish to gain the knowledge and skills necessary for a career in image - whether it's consultancy, personal styling, personal shopping or wardrobe management, or a mixture of all four. We pride ourselves on creating a relaxed, friendly environment in which to learn, without compromising our high standards of professionalism.
As an Accredited Training Provider of the International Federation of Image Consultants, the syllabus for our Foundation Modules in the four core subjects cover the competencies for the IFIC/City and Guilds Masters Award in Image Consultancy.
The importance of personal image and impact is becoming widely recognised, and as a result the sector as a whole is a fast-growing one. There are opportunities for skilled, knowledgeable professionals who enjoy helping people to look better, project themselves in a more positive way, and feel more self-confident. Clients vary from school leavers to retirees; graduate trainees to senior management; celebrities in the public eye or people simply facing change in their lives.
Most image professionals run their own business which provides considerable flexibility. Many focus on creating full-time image practices, some work part-time to accommodate other commitments, whilst others combine image with other professional skills such as coaching, management consultancy, retail or hairdressing.
Friendly, professional image consultant training
