History

New Image College was founded in 1980 by the Canadian-born husband and wife team Bill and Charlotte Dyck.[9] Both were extensively trained as clinical marriage and family physiologist, with years of philanthropy work[10] within BC and around the world, specifically India and China. The pair conceived New Image with the goal of providing an opportunity for abused women to develop a "new image" for themselves.

Initially focusing on fashion design, etiquette courses, and self-confidence seminars, the business was considerably expanded when it was taken over by their daughter, Charie Van Dyke.

Under the guidance of New Image College President Van Dyke and her husband, Vice President John Craig, the business would develop into one of the most respected and successful private academies in Canada, boasting over 25,000 alumni.

As of 2016, New Image has expanded even further after acquiring their 'Creative Arts Campus' on the corner of Granville and Nelson.

New Image College recently rebranded itself with the name "NIC" alongside the launch of its NIC Spa line.[8] The NIC Spa on Granville, a private branch of Global Model & Talent, provides opportunities for alumni of New Image College's aesthetics program to begin their small businesses through the college's Entrepreneurial Program.
