Personal Styling for Yourself

"Like having Melissa in your pocket!" - do you struggle to know what to wear and how to wear it? Are you wasting money on clothes which just don't look right? Investing in yourself is often a lesser priority when juggling life's other expenditure and as we age and our bodies change, we can lose our sense of style and identity. Let us help you rediscover yourself and your love of style with our comprehensive, self-paced online styling course.

Personal Styling for a Career

Have you always had a flair for fashion and an eye for style? Would you like to help others rediscover their confidence and show them how to step out with effortless style? Whether you are changing careers or investing in your future, we recognise it is a big decision, so we have worked hard to ensure our courses are fully accredited. We also offer two pricing options to book your place on this course.

Thank you Melissa and the rest of the Styling Academy for pulling together such a great course. It contains an absolute wealth of information (both styling and business based plus all the tips and tricks that Melissa has learned in 20 years of styling) and Melissa’s energy is so warm and her teaching so natural. I enjoyed every part of it and feel totally inspired to move forward into a new career in styling with professionalism and equipped with all the tools I need. I truly believe that this course stands apart from the others, I was hesitant at first because it is all online but this is no barrier to learning from the best! In fact I think it’s better than the face to face courses I explored. If you have a dream to kickstart your own career in personal styling and to hit the road running, I believe there is no better course out there. I’m looking forward to future training opportunities and hopefully to meet you all in person one day!

While Melissa's YouTube videos are wonderful and very helpful, this course delves into even greater detail and really gets hands on with the closet edit. I've watched all of Melissa's videos, had a personal styling session with her and still had more to learn by taking the course. Worth the money and so good to review every season. Thanks to the team for all your hard work putting the course together. Shopping and getting dressed is so much easier now!

I’ve always loved Melissa Murrell’s real style for real women who live real lives. However, I was initially hesitant to invest the $$ in this course. Eventually I had to be honest with myself and admit that I had already wasted tens of thousands over the years in poor clothing choices and despite shopping for almost 50 years, I still didn’t have a thing to wear! So I signed up and I’m so glad I did. I’m now in the middle of a ruthless wardrobe purge, which I’ll confess I have done many times before and always ended up in the same pickle 6 months later. The difference this time is that I now have substantial knowledge behind what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, and a new-found confidence and vision of how I want to dress and how I want to present myself to the world. I’m petite, with the added bonus of 25kg of steroid medication-induced weight gain. I’ve also moved from the city to a coastal town where my lifestyle is quite different. After completing the Personal Styling course I now know how to make myself look more balanced and current, and how to create a wardrobe that matches my body and my lifestyle. Thank you so much, Melissa and Team.

I really liked the course because it was a mix of theory and practical tasks. I also loved videos from real-life consultations.

This course is like having Melissa in your pocket! It’s amazing how what might seem little changes can make such a huge impact not only on how you put together your outfits but also how you look and feel. . I love how the neutral theme forms the foundation of the wardrobe and them colours are added accordingly to the event or desired look. I always avoided cream/white as I felt it made me look washed out, but I now realise mixed with the right coloured clothes and accessories ( who knew gold jewellery even suited me!? The last time I wore it I was 21!) I have learned so so much about dressing for my shape with this course and highly recommend it to anyone who is feeling a little flat about their self image, wardrobe or confidence. One of my biggest takeaways has to be the nude accessories advice… changing the texture and designs according to the look. Holiday packing used to be such a pain, but now all i need is one flat , one heeled pair of shoes and a neutral bag or two and they go with all outfit!s. I have to say this course is worth every penny. What price can you really put on feeling good and confident in yourself and your clothes?? X

There are so many styling coaches/courses out there. What makes this one stand out is Melissa Murrell‘s vision and concept of showing that anyone can improve personal style based on reality. Melissa is so absolutely non-judgemental and kind it lowers the threshold to being honest with oneself. There are so many valuable suggestions, e. g. to base a wardrobe on the reality of your lifestyle and body shape and not a fantasy of what you want it to be. The latter has filled many a wardrobe with unworn clothes. I am impressed with Melissa‘s competent and relatable style and appreciate the passion with which she helps the everyday woman. She has surrounded herself with an equally knowledgeable team and has grown her business accordingly and well deserved. I highly recommend this course.

What a fantastic informative and enjoyable course, the videos really helped in seeing real people and their clothing challenges . It shows and explains everything really well . The perfect thing about this course is I can go back and review the parts again I am not so sure about and all throughout there are discussion points where if you have a question you can post this in the discussion area in each section with a picture if you want to . Replies are quick and the information really helpful .I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn more about styling yourself . This course especially for me will undoubtably help me in not wasting time and money buying numerous items of clothing that nearly always get returned, or are never worn and desperately trying to figure out what I can wear with what and finally having a wardrobe that everything will mix and match. Getting dressed and finding something I feel good in and like will be a doddle.
