Joseph Rosenfeld Image Mentor (http://jrimagementor.com/) has announced two new training courses for professional image consultants who want to include consulting services for professional men within their practices.
Sharp Dressed Man Image Training (register at http://jrimagementor.com/registration.htm) is a comprehensive 4-day training
experience that provides strong assessment skills tailored to working with professional men that includes information on the modern psychology of men and skills for selecting all ranges
of clothing for a man's wardrobe. Course dates are September 17-20 and December 3-6 in 2007 and March 10-13 and June 17-20 in 2008.
Suit-Able: Selecting Tailored Clothing and Accessories for Men (http://jrimagementor.com/contact.htm), is a 3 hour "crash course" for
AICI Chapter groups and offers a prime opportunity to learn skills required for making a variety of appropriate clothing selections for men.
Both courses are led by Joseph Rosenfeld, the only male Certified Image Professional (CIP) in North America. For nearly twenty years, Joseph Rosenfeld has worked specifically with
professional men within high-end retail and as a successful image consultant.
Each of the training programs have been approved to award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to image consultants in need of maintaining professional certification. The Sharp Dressed Man
Image Training offers 2.4 CEUs and Suit-Able: Selecting Tailored Clothing and Accessories for Men offers 0.3 CEUs. According to Rosenfeld, "Regardless of whether participants needs to
earn CEUs, my due diligence ensures that they receive current information and technical knowledge through a systematic program that meets the approval of an internationally recognized
association."
Rosenfeld says that establishing these training programs "fills a need in the image consulting industry. Many image consultants regularly express interest in having learning experiences
about working with men." The Sharp Dressed Man Image Training program contains 72 learning outcomes and covers such areas as how to assess and organize male clients, modern men's
psychology, men's grooming and wardrobe development covering all ranges of menswear.
As an active member of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI), Joseph Rosenfeld served on both the South Central Chapter and San Francisco Bay Area Chapter boards. He
also edits AICI's industry-based on-line publication, Connections, and is also the 'Style' columnist for the Metro Silicon Valley, writing on matters of image, style and trends as well as
behavior and attitude, while reaching out to male and female readers.
