FAQ section
You've got questions. We've got answers.
Q: How is this 10-session program delivered?
A: Live, one-on-one online sessions with your instructor, plus guided assignments and personalized feedback.
Q: When can I start?
A: Training usually begins within 2 weeks of registration (often sooner).
Q: How long do I have to finish?

Q: Do I receive certification?
A: Yes. Upon successful completion, you’ll earn the Sterling Style Academy Personal Stylist Training Certification, recognized globally.
Q: Is this the same certification as the 5-Day In-Person Personal Stylist & Personal Shopper Course?
A: Yes. The curriculum is equivalent, and the certification carries the same recognition. The difference is that the in-person course includes live personal shopping practice, while the online course adapts that training for virtual and e-commerce shopping.
Q: Is there overlap if I take both online and in-person training?
A: Yes. Both programs cover the full personal stylist certification curriculum: color analysis, body analysis, fashion styling, wardrobe planning, personal shopping, and business development. Many students decide based on goals—choose the 5-Day In-Person for in-store practice, or the Online program if you’re focused on virtual or boutique-based styling.
Q: Which option is best for me?
Answer:
If you want hands-on, in-store shopping → take the 5-Day In-Person Personal Stylist & Personal Shopper Certification.
If you’re working primarily online or already own a boutique/shop, this Live Online program is sufficient.
If you’d like a blend, you can attend our 3-Day In-Person Color Analysis, Fashion Styling & Personal Shopper Certification Program and supplement with online lessons.
Q: What about Body Analysis training?
A: This is fully included. Lessons 3 and 4 of the program cover body shape analysis and clothing silhouette in depth. You can also choose our Online Body Shape Analysis & Silhouette Course (includes a live session) if you prefer a focused module, alongside the 3-Day In-Person course.
Q: How does this compare to the Live Online 10-Month Program?
A: The 10-Month Program runs weekly, live online group classes on Sundays and covers a broader image consulting scope. This 10-Session Program is private, flexible, and fully customized—ideal if you want one-to-one mentorship and control over your schedule.
Q: What is the difference between this course and the Advanced Personal Stylist Training?
A: The Personal Stylist Training Online Instructor-Led LIVE Certification Program is the most comprehensive foundational course we offer online for personal styling. The Advanced Personal Stylist Training: Master Yin Yang and Style Analysis is intended for those who have already completed our 5-Day Training (or a similar program from another institute) and are looking to deepen their expertise. It’s not a starting point but an advanced course for further education.
Q: What’s the weekly time commitment?
A: Most students schedule 1 live session per week (2.5 hours) plus 1–2 hours for assignments.
Q: Are sessions recorded?
A: Sessions are live and interactive. If you need to reschedule, rebooking is available with advance notice under our scheduling policy.
Q: Do I need prior experience?
A: No. Beginners are welcome. The program builds from fundamentals to advanced professional workflows.
