Term: Throughout the year 

Description: Image Consulting, Personal Shopper, Etiquette Coaching, three modules and three different sides of a person's grooming for a complete training on one of the most successful, profitable and glamorous professions in the contemporary fashion scene:

Image Consulting
One of the most sought after fashion professions of today, Image Consulting was born in the USA but has increasingly developed in Western countries, soon revealing itself not only as a way of enhancing physical assets, but also as applied to environments and corporate images. Established on a certified method of analysis of shapes, colours and textures, image consulting provides the needed techniques to analyse, develop and carry out an image regardless of the current styles and trends.

Personal Shopper
Substantiating its strong connection to contemporaneity, Uptodate Fashion Academy has proven the first Italian Institute able to launch a course on one of the most popular and rewarding fashion professions of today. Working close to tourism, luxury and flagship stores, personal shoppers are the official luxury guides of the major fashion cities. From Milan to Paris, from London to New York, the course teaches students how to become personal stylists able to change the client's looks, advising them on the most suitable brands and putting them in touch with the most exciting sides of luxury.

Etiquette Coaching
The final part of the Global Image & Life Coaching program is basically an extension of the Image Consulting program applying to the male figure. Integrating the established path of analysis on colours, shapes and textures, the course includes additional lessons on etiquette, personal presentation and conversation codes.
