With enrollment in the DL program you’ll get an all-access pass to our live and recorded webinars. Choose from a menu of 20+ webinars covering topics that will build your expertise as a personal stylist.
Your Assignments
First, you will read about a concept in your workbook, and look at the corresponding images provided which illustrate each concept. For each concept you will be given an assignment with instructions to find photos/images that demonstrate these principles. It’s easiest to find images online, paste to a separate document then type in your notes. Or you can print out images, make notes by hand and scan and email the completed assignment. Your instructor will review and email back with approval, revisions needed, and any comments for up to 1 year from your start date. 40 hrs is the average time to complete Style I and Color I, but it varies for each student. While you are free to take as long as you like to work through the course, you have 1 year to complete it if you wish to receive AICI CEU’s and instructor feedback on assignments.
Color I Tools 
A benefit to taking this Distance Learning (DL) course, besides getting started right away from the convenience of your home – is that the DL course includes the tools that the live course does not (though they are available for practice and purchase at the live courses). If you enroll in the full distance learning course including Style & Color I you will receive your color analysis tools including the Essential Master Color Set and the TVR Selector as part of your learning package. You will be guided through learning all about color and analysis with clients. We have also developed a new Virtual Color Analysis Toolkit which you can use use in conjunction with the physical color set, when you want to provide online color consulting to clients. Email for more info about that!
Client Guidebooks
You’ll receive 3 copies of a beautifully designed 7-page guide designed by Carla Mathis, and used by Personal Stylists around the world to lead clients through an image consultation, featuring illustrations and examples. After the consultation, the client takes home the customized guide to refer to as they apply the principles learned about their Body Signature. This will become an essential tool in your kit!
