The Style and Image Institute’s workshop certification course offers training on the basic fundamentals of the image consulting, personal  and wardrobe styling and personal shopping business. Our program also offers all of the forms, supplies and  hands-on experience you need  to be a professional Stylist and Image Consultant.

Training offered includes:

• full certification course for those wanting to begin a career as a Stylist and Image Consultant

• a certification program for boutiques, salons or other businesses where adding image consulting services would enhance their current offerings

• training for those wanting to build their image consulting expertise to enhance their current career

This comprehensive training program includes all the details you need to be in the business as a stylist and image consultant.  Unlike other similar workshops, we give you all the tools you need in one class, one time offered over 2 or 3 days.  Our focus in creating this curriculum was on you.  We understand the financial constraints of flying to New York or Los Angeles for a one-day seminar...and then traveling back a few months later for another module to get further training. Not only is this method time-intensive, the financial strain it puts on a budding business owner can be devastating. 

We believe that our method of intense, one-on-one training focused on your career goals works! ...and the proof is the success of our graduates.
