Image Consultant Training
Diploma & Certification Course

These 9 day-Diploma & Certification Courses are also for anyone who wants a bedrock foundation in image for the rest of their life!

Sandy Dumont's 30 years of experience makes her Image Consultant Training Diploma Course the finest possible. Sandy does not follow image trends, but creates them instead. She has trained others to become color and image consultants in Europe for more than 20 years. Now you don't have to travel to Europe to get her incomparable training.

When you graduate from the Impression Strategies Institute, you will have a diploma and be a fully-accredited Total Image Consultant. You will also be grand fathered in as a founding member of the World Association of Image Consultants.

To find out why my Diploma Course is superior to any other course being taught today, call me at my toll-free number (877/ 245-5015). By the end of the Diploma Course, if you do not agree that the knowledge gained from the course is superior to any other, you will receive a full refund.

With a lifelong background in color through my art studies, I trusted my eyes over what I read in the early (and current) books on color and image. They are on the wrong track, so they do not work consistently. Without consistency, credibility in the whole field of image consulting is undermined. You simply cannot have multiple (and, consequently, contradictory) systems for determining a person's color category. When it comes to color and image, results rule! And I get results. Every time. And you will be in on the process and see it for yourself.

This course will challenge everything you currently believe or “know” about color and image consulting. It will also challenge everything currently in print and in use regarding color and image today. It reveals the basic truths about color with Sandy Dumont’s documented research of more than 30 years. It is unthinkable that there is more than one standard for doing color analysis, as is currently accepted by this industry's association. You will be taught a method that produces consistent and unshakeable results in all four corners of the world and with all races and mentalities. That, and only that, will insure success as an image consultant - and as an industry.

Do not think that your “instincts” or your “good taste” will enable you to master the art of color. As the brilliant art educator Johannes Itten noted in his book The Elements of Color (1961), “Well-disciplined color thinking and a knowledge of the potentialities of colors are necessary to save us from the one-sidedness and error of coloration informed by taste alone.”

Itten has often been misquoted by image consultant as saying that his students knew intuitively whether they looked better in cool or warm colors. What he actually said was, “they paint their complementary colors, or combinations in commercial vogue, instead of reflecting themselves.”

Color is about “impression” on the one hand, and the results in the mirror on the other. The “art” of color is the successful intertwining and application of both. Joahannes Itten put it perfectly when he said, "We can be released from subjective bondage only through knowledge and awareness of objective principles." Color is the cornerstone of image consulting, and it is necessary to master color at all levels in order to be a total image consultant.

One basic truth about color is that SKIN trumps hair and eye color when determining your correct color category. Hair does not get dark circles, furrows or other “lumps and bumps” associated with aging, nor do the pupils of the eye. Skin does. There are many other truths about color awaiting you in this course which will enable you to become a Master of Color and a certified Total Image Consultant.

This course will take you step by step through Sandy Dumont's 30 years of pioneering research in color and color psychology. You will never have a doubt about the accuracy of Sandy's system. Nor will your clients.

Note: The Impression Strategies Institute is equipped with WiFi (wireless internet), so you will have access to the internet during the Diploma Course.
