Preparing for the AICI FLC Exam?
Preparing for the AICI (Association of Image Consultants International) First Level Certification (FLC) Exam can be a daunting task especially if you are unsure of where to start the learning process. Although AICI provides you with an AICI FLC Exam Study Guide which outlines definitions and refers you to books you should study to prepare you for the exam, how well can you learn from a book on how to become a top-notch image consultant without proper image consultant training?
At the Sterling Style Academy, the first 6 modules of our Online Image Consultant Training Program or the first week of image consultant training, whether you enroll in the 2.5 Week Certification Program or 4 Week Certification Program, discusses the theory and the science behind style by teaching you about the elements and principles of design as it relates yin and yang aspects. Our image consultant training program also teaches you how to conduct a Personal Style Evaluation, providing you with a DVD tutorial and workbook to present to your future clients upon successful completion of our certification program. All of our certification courses also educate you on wardrobe management – learning how to evaluate a closet, cluster a group of clothing to develop cohesive wardrobes for your clients (DVDs are provided for further training and development), as well as teach you the art of personal shopping. This fully comprehensive training program not only will prepare you for the AICI FLC Exam, it will also give you the skills you need to become a top-notch certified image consultant with the rights to use the Sterling Style Academy Certified Image Consultant logo on your future promotional and marketing materials for added credibility.
The Sterling Style Academy has an excellent success rate in training future image consultants to become AICI FLC Certified. All of our graduates who have chosen to take the AICI FLC exam upon completion of our certification program have passed and only needed to take the exam once due to the quality of our curriculum.
The Sterling Style Academy’s next image consultant training certification program to prepare you for the AICI FLC Exam in May will take place in New York in April. Registration closes six weeks prior to the commencement of class. Please contact us if you’d like to receive a detailed course prospectus or feel free to give us a call at +1.888.866.8996 for more information.

Image Consultant Careers
Today, we received this email below from Tammy King, a Teacher from Texas, asking about careers as an image consultant.
My name is Tammy King and I am a Middle School teacher in Anahuac, Texas. I teach a group of sixth and seventh grade Gifted and Talented students. We have been working on a career project for the last seven weeks. They did some personal assessments and narrowed down careers best suited for them. They have completed research papers, power point presentations, and a university visit. The culminating project is to find a professional in the career they chose. I am hoping you have someone my student can interview via webcast or phone. The young lady conducting the interview is a really bright sixth grade girl named Ximena (Hu may Na). I have been extremely impressed with her work in my class and based on the time I have known her, a career in image consulting would be perfect for her. Even though college is sometime off, I have high expectations for her! The interview will consist of 8 questions which I will attach and then I asked students to come up with two questions of their own to add. It will take approximately fifteen to twenty minutes for the interview. If possible I would like to do a webcast to add an element of technology and then the entire class could also watch as the interview takes place. If that is not possible, then a phone interview would also work. My class meets each morning from 8:00am-8:45am. I am somewhat flexible with time if this time frame doesn’t work. It would really be wonderful if someone from Sterling Style Academy would work with us! I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Tammy King
Teacher 6-8 Gifted and Talented
Anahuac Middle School
Anahuac, Texas

Online Image Consultant Training Testimonial | Sterling Style Academy
The Sterling Style Academy would like to introduce to you, Yekatherina Bruner. As a current student enrolled in the online image consultant training program, Yekatherina shares her experience with you as a Sterling Style Academy online student.
Yekatherina’s true passion is helping women express when they dress. A dedicated and highly-sought after image consultant and owner of YK Studio L.L.C., she has recently been named as a Glamour Magazine “Glambassador” for 2009 and has been awarded with the “Rising Star Award” from the Sterling Style Academy in San Francisco. A world citizen, Yekatherina’s global travels and living experiences have shaped her culturally-diverse approach to style.
Yekatherina helps women realize their full potential by teaching them how to shop strategically and acquire a wardrobe most appropriate for their lifestyle, personality, and body type. Her intuitive love for quality design shines in her master selection of fabric, color, and style that allows for genuine expression and enhances the unique qualities of each woman she works with. Her rarified talent extends to pulling together outfits that help women exude confidence and joy.
Through meeting with clients individually, Yekatherina can professionally remove closet “trauma” and replace it with closet “bliss.” The journey begins with “editing” – selectively removing non-flattering styles and colors, then she “shops” the closet discovering looks you never knew you owned. She enthusiastically arranges “personal shopping therapy” experiences that transform her clients from head-to-toe, including make-up, hairstyle, accessories, and complete outfits.
In addition to her love for style, Yekatherina holds a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and International Relations from Universidad Externado de Colombia, in South America. She is a native of Colombia and lives in Tucson, Arizona with her husband and two young daughters.
