Making the Case for Hands-on Training

With almost everything available over the internet, including online image training courses, why would a student choose to study in-person with London Image Institute?

We strongly believe that our courses allow the student to get the intangible aspects of a group experience, and the invaluable practice you could never receive online. The benefits of learning in a classroom are almost endless. Here are our top three reasons:

Being in the moment…

Image consulting is a hands-on experience for our clients with a practical application. In our courses you are trained in the knowledge of image consulting. And, even more transforming for you, we are known for training our students in the experience of image consulting careers; to shift their perspectives, to instill confidence. This transformation can only happen in person, in the moment.  And it happens on a daily basis in our classes.

We agree that the technical skills are essential to learn and master; clients love our practical education to solve their concerns.  But what they really appreciate and remember are your on-the -spot suggestions to make them feel and look slimmer, healthier, younger and more radiant. In the course, we teach you how to put a client at ease, to create a harmonious connection. Acting, teaching, massage therapy, media, public speaking and any profession that involves an emotional or empathetic connection can only be experienced in the moment it occurs. In class, we train you in the multi-faceted dimensions of working with a client: the practices of imparting your knowledge clearly, sharpening your sensitivity and deepening your intuition.

Enhanced confidence…

We train you in presentation and teaching skills every day! Why? Because students have to overcome fear as well as learn rapport. Many students arrive on the first day and are scared to face an audience. By the last day everyone has improved dramatically and miraculously! Everyone. When you experience yourself speaking with authority to a group it feels up-lifting. By the end of the image consultant course, you can inspire and empower your clients. There is no better feeling.

Group experience…

We have small but very supportive groups. The small size of the group gives us time to coach you individually so that you inevitably improve. What’s more, the group can also give kind and constructive feedback, enhancing yet another essential image consulting skill, critiquing a client. The group experience helps in so many ways: hashing out concerns, practicing skills and language, comparing notes and correcting misunderstandings. You also learn novel perspectives, new ways to interact, present and communicate. It’s precious experience that you can’t get with your nose in a book, staring at a screen or winging it in front of a client with limited knowledge.
