"it has been well worth it for the opportunities
and satisfaction it has brought us. "
(Sandra Dunne and Karen Armitage)

We had always had a great interest in interior design and had experimented with occasional success in our own homes.  However it wasn’t until we reached our 40’s and reassessed our lives (as you do!) that we decided it was time to study to obtain a formal interior design qualification.

I highly recommend it"
(Carolyn Ruth )

I used to work as a systems analyst for Diageo Ireland, this entailed working with and maintaining a computer package that planned the production of Diageo’s products. It was a complex system that needed constant monitoring, so I was pretty much a computer “geek”. Before that

"It has given me the confidence to seize
every opportunity that comes before me!"
(Ann Slattery)

The Image Consultancy course taught me so much – not just about fashion but also about colour, body analysis, vintage fashions make-up and hair.  What a life changing course it was. After 15 years of making wedding dresses and alterations with my mum I felt I needed to expand and to gain a qualification on paper. I spend 4 days as a dresser for Trinny and Susannah at their ‘Style in the City’ event, I have no doubt my qualification from Limperts Academy of Design helped me enormously to get this work.

"I have a whole new lease of life and a career which is
not only rewarding and interesting but allows me to
make a difference to people's lives!"
(Mary Holmes)

I enrolled in the Certificate in Image Consultancy which I completed whilst still working full time. This is an extremely practical course and you learn the tricks of the trade as you go.  Whilst I was on my second assignment I got my first paying client. Image Consulting and personal shopping is no longer a luxury service for the well – off. Now more than ever men and women of all different income brackets are seeking professional help to look their best. I would encourage anyone to follow their dream and set up their own business because life is too short to continue in a job that just isn’t you.

The wonderful thing about this course is that you can make the change gradually whilst you are still working in an entirely different industry. After a few months on the course I gained the confidence to start looking for work experience ad to my amazement I got experience with some of the top stylists. From day one the tutors are there to support you. It all starts from here, my dream is finally coming true.
