Color Analysts

Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

Color Designers International offers several certification credentials to its members who meet experience requirements and pass an examination.

The Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) provides three levels of certification: certified image consultant, certified image professional, and certified image master. Although these certifications focus on the "big picture" of presenting oneself effectively (i.e., appearance, behavior, communication skills, etiquette, etc.), they are useful to help demonstrate to potential employers and provide the opportunity to expand your services to the field of image consulting. Contact the AICI for more information.

Color analysts who have their own companies may need to have a business license from their city, state, or another government entity.
