Hear about the Study in Style Training Experience from some of our Consultants….
.
Hayley has a passion for fashion and completed the Face to Face Foundation Course with flying colours!
Training at The Image House was such an enjoyable
experience. Gail’s training was detailed and clear, and the encouragement and positivity given made me feel completely at ease and confident in what I was learning.
Gail is a great mentor who provides support, not only throughout the training, but with every step of development that follows. I believe for me, personally and professionally I could not have chosen a better training provider.”

After retiring from teaching Andrea chose her new career as an Image Consultant and has never looked back. It has enabled her to combine her love of people and her creative abilities to build a rewarding and satisfying business, both in the UK and overseas.
For a while I’d been interested in becoming an Image Consultant and spent a considerable amount of time searching for the best training provider in the business. After weeks of research I decided to train with Gail at Study In Style. And what a good decision that was.
With Gail’s many years of experience, enthusiasm and knowledge, I received an excellent foundation training and thorough introduction into the Image Consultancy business.
The course was well structured and delivered by Gail, who was a great facilitator in all areas. Gail’s sense of fun made for a memorable two weeks and has given me the knowledge and confidence to set up and start my own business.There were no hidden costs (or small print) and the course was excellent value for money. I cameaway with all the tools and equipment needed to begin my new career immediately, without any commitment whatsoever to sell any products or meet sales targets, allowing me to run my own independent business my way!
Many thanks, Gail, for an excellent course!

Victoria is in her early 30s, she is a mum of two and works part-time. She was finding it hard to shop as she felt that there was not a lot on offer for her age group in the High Street – it all seemed too young or too frumpy. Her wardrobe was clearly divided into suits for work and casual for home. Following a visit to an image consultant her wardrobe was transformed! After this experience Victoria became more confident and her friends started to ask her to sort out their wardrobes and take them shopping. She says:
I like organising wardrobes and clothes and love seeing people smile when they realise how much better they can look and feel. Last year when my employer started making redundancies I went to visit a careers adviser to consider my options. That was when I realised I would truly enjoy the role of an Image Consultant and decided to find a course that would work for me. Working part-time and having two young children at home meant attending a face-to-face course wasn’t an option. I looked for courses I could do at home and found the Study in Style website very reassuring. I realised how much I could learn from Gail when I watched the short videos on the website.
The module format helps to ensure you’re on the right track. You can study at your own pace and it’s all in logical, manageable stages building up your knowledge as you go through the course. The level of detail is phenomenal and Gail has a lot of good advice on building up the business side of things. I have a degree in Marketing and thought it would be easy but that side of things has been a real eye-opener. What’s great is that you can build up a business as you go through the course. I still work part-time and what started as an interesting side-line has real potential to become a strong business. Study in Style is a great investment, the course is rich in detail and offers brilliant value for money. I now have new skills I’ll always be able to use.”

Six years ago Nerissa was working part time as a secretary, but her background was in textiles and fashion and she wasn’t using her design skills. She continues:
I was looking for something new and found an article in a magazine about an Image Consultant. It sounded like my perfect job – fashion, colours, make-up, shopping and I could fit it in around my family. After investigating the options available to train as an Image Consultant I found Gail and signed up for the complete face to face
foundation course. The training was excellent; Gail has so much experience and knowledge of the industry and a relaxed style which made the course so enjoyable. Since completing my training I have set up my own Image business and haven’t looked back; I love it and Gail continues to give me help and advice whenever I need it. I thoroughly enjoyed my training with Study In Style and would recommend the courses to anyone looking to enter the image business.”

Sue has worked as a hairdresser for over 30 years and when she was thinking of ways to expand her business she felt adding colour analysis was the natural next step. Sue did some online research and found our website.
I liked Gail’s website because it was colourful and welcoming, had an affiliation to an official body and offered recognised training. I gave Gail a ring and she was very approachable on the phone so I decided to start with two Study in Style Modules – Colour Analysis and Make-up.
I can’t commit specific days for studying away, or the budget for travel and hotel costs so the Study in Style training was the ideal option that I could start and stop when I had the time. I didn’t know what to expect but when the box of goodies arrived it was very exciting. I’m a ‘watcher and doer’ learner, so watching the DVD and then reinforcing that by reading the manual was ideal. As soon as I had some spare time I watched the DVD and then read the manual. The DVDs had a good, informal style and it was almost as though you were involved in a group discussion. This technique worked well for me and I loved it.”

After a career a corporate finance, Kate was looking for a business to fit around her young daughter’s school hours and has enjoyed building up a great business around her local area.
I have enjoyed completing the colour and women’s style training through the Study in Style distance learning. This has been excellent as I have been able to train as and when I have some free time,
fitting it around my other commitments at home. It is also useful to keep referring back to both the comprehensive learning material and the dvd’s to brush up on particular areas. Gail’s support on the telephone and via email is always forthcoming and it’s great to know you have someone to help you along. She has also held meetings so that we can meet other consultants to chat, get ideas and help each other.”

Mum of two Karen, has always had an interest in fashion. After studying Fashion and Fashion Photography at Art College, Karen designed ball gowns and bridal gowns before settling down to family life. She says:
I’ve always had an interest in design and fashion in general although over the years I’ve worked as a hospital phlebotomist and a dinner lady! I wanted a career in fashion that would complement my photography skills and decided that Image Consultancy would be ideal.
I decided to do the Study in Style Complete Foundation Course last year. The modules gave me the opportunity to train at my own pace, in the time I have available. I really enjoyed the distance learning which was very easy to fit into my busy home life. For each module of the course I read the manual then watched the DVDs which I found was the best way to do it – and I’ve always got the manuals as handy reference points. I found it a tactile, flexible and interactive course and am delighted that I’m working with new clients already. I’ve been doing clients properly since Christmas 2010 and am really seeing growing demand for my unique service.”

Jo is a supply teacher working in a variety of schools across the West Midlands. She decided to train as she wanted a creative outlet away from marking exams!!
I’ve found the Study In style course to be well organised and presented with clear DVD’s, backed up by the notes. The content is thorough and easy to follow, with telephone support from Gail.
The modules are great to study as they can be studied at your own pace and give clear, well thought out and constructed information which is easy to understand and apply in practical situations of colour and body shape analysis. I would highly recommend the programme.”
Jo Gregory, Stourbridge.
