Colour Comfort Ltd. allows those who have completed the three modules of the Colour Comfort Training Programme, and who has satisfactorily completed the required 12 case studies to practice as a Colour Comfort Coach. As a Colour Coach you will be required to comply with the Colour Comfort Code of Conduct as described below.
- Take responsibility for your own words and actions and its implications.
- Support your client to take responsibility for themselves.
- Listen to the colour choices of your client and translate these into understandable language.
- Do not make promises, no fortune-telling.
- Do not claim to diagnose and/or heal.
- Refer your client to a qualified professional if your client wants treatment or diagnosis of a physical or psychological condition.
- Listen to the goals and wishes of your client and translate these into a choice of colours.
- Always respect your client's choices.
- Do not speak ill of other treatments or practitioners.
a. Keep proper confidential client session records
The Colour Comfort Coach must maintain proper client records that should be kept for a minimum of six years. This is essential because it brings order and professionalism to the relationship between the client and the Colour Coach.
b. Give your clients post-consultation support
The Colour Coach must give, send or email a Colour Coaching report, using the Colour Comfort software and a Clothing Colour Chart so that the client can monitor her/himself. Give your client a tentative follow-up appointment for them to confirm with you. Be available by phone or email for any clarification of the report or consultation by the client.
c. Maintain client confidentiality
The Colour Comfort Coach must maintain and respect their client’s confidentiality at all times.
d. Display your Colour Coaching Training Certificate for public awareness
The Colour Comfort Coach must publicly display in their premises the Colour Coaching Registration Certificate for their clients to see.
Use of software:
- Only use the software after the first consultation.
- Never use the software program in front of the client. The CC consultation is a personal consultation and can stir emotions with the client. This consultation requires all the attention of the CC coach.
- Whenever your client is not using a colour as a top but only as accessories, jacket, skirt or trousers, the software program will remain on 0 and the report will indicate that the colour is only worn as accessories, jacket, skirt or trousers.
- Whenever you save the report as a pdf file in the software program, you can save the file on your computer. Make a separate file, CC reports, and save all these reports in one file. You can email the report or print it.
