We are proud to be the only global professional body which has a qualification recognised by a government body. In conjunction with The City and Guilds of London, IFIC can accredit experienced consultants with either Associate or Master status. In addition, Fellowships may be awarded to Master image consultants.
Accreditation gives the consultant further credibility with their clients. In an industry where validation is often sought, having a recognised qualification will set you apart from unqualified competitors.

Master
