Facereading
If you are interested in face reading, we have put together the most important steps for you to get started:
1. Free resources & books
On Eric's social media channels (e.g. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn) you will regularly receive insights, tips and inspiration about face reading. This way you can get an idea of whether you would like to delve deeper into the topic.
Feel free to take a look at our website. There you will find information about face reading, our lecturers and all current events in your area 🙂
Eric's (audio) books "Read the Face" is also a very good introduction.
Einen sehr guten Einstieg bieten auch Eric’s (Hör-)Bücher: Ich lese dich und Ich lese deine Lebensaufgabe.
2. Let us accompany you further
If you would like to delve deeper into the art of face reading, we offer various courses and training opportunities in the Academy. There is something for everyone - regardless of whether you want to delve deeper into a topic yourself or use this knowledge professionally.
We also offer personal readings that can help you understand yourself better and find answers to your big questions.
You can also get in touch at any time if you have more questions or need guidance - I'm always happy to help: office@facereading-academy.com
Yes, face reading does work - but success depends on how it is used and which aspect you look at.
Here are some important points:
1. Scientific basis
- Face reading is based on the assumption that our face is a "map" that reflects personality, emotions and sometimes even health conditions.
- Microexpressions, which were made famous by Paul Ekman, have been scientifically proven. They show unconscious emotions in fractions of a second and can be recognized through training.
- Physignomy, the study of the connection between facial features and character traits, has a long tradition, even if it is scientifically controversial.
2. Practical applications
- Emotional signals: Face reading is particularly helpful in recognizing unspoken feelings. This is used in psychology, negotiation and law enforcement, for example.
- Personality traits: While the interpretation of personality based on facial features is not scientifically proven, it is based on centuries-old knowledge from various cultures (e.g. Chinese Siang Mien).
- Health Notes: Face reading can help identify signs of deficiencies or physical ailments before they become noticeable.
3. Limitations and Expectations
- Face reading does not provide “absolute truths.” It is a tool for making hypotheses, not magic.
- The art of reading relies heavily on the reader’s intuition, experience, and accuracy.
4. Testimonials
- Many people report that face reading has helped them better understand themselves or make life decisions.
- Companies, coaches, and therapists use face reading to discover hidden potential.
So face reading can provide amazingly accurate insights when used by someone with expertise. However, it is important to approach the method with an open mind and to be aware that, like any art, it requires interpretation.
Training and Courses
We basically offer two options for your face reading training:
1. Individual training with Eric:
The fee for individual training with Eric Standop is €450.00 (incl. VAT) per hour, excluding travel and accommodation costs.
We recommend booking at least 5 hours per day and ideally over 2 consecutive days.
After this intensive course, we will arrange further training dates with the lecturers.
The training content can be tailored to you individually, or you can base your training on our basic modules (see training plan).
2. Group training
In addition to individual training, we also offer the option of learning face reading in a group.
The cost of an individual license varies depending on the lecturer you choose and is between €799.00 and €899.00 (incl. VAT).
A total of 8 individual licenses must be purchased before the diploma exam. The order of the training courses is freely selectable, but you must start with module 1.
In group training, an individual license lasts a weekend, while in individual training you can expect about 12-16 hours per module.
For copyright reasons, we only offer the course videos as an online course and not for downloading. However, you can download the practice photos. You can watch your course in our 'Online Face Reading Academy' at any time and on any device. All you have to do is log into the members area.
iPhone users also have the option of making all course content available offline using the Facereading Academy app. You can find instructions on how to set up the app here: www.readtheface.com/app
Training courses are much more extensive and in-depth. Together with a lecturer from the Facereading Academy and other participants, you will be given more guidance during the training, can ask questions and practice what you have learned. The price of the training courses is usually around €800.
Online courses are more 'easily digestible' and focus on a specific topic. The price of the online courses is between €100 and €220.
Incidentally, there are more and more training courses that are also completely online, e.g. via livestream or on our eLearning platform. We want to make learning even easier for you 🙂.
In principle, all videos, audios, graphics, images and PDF files are protected by copyright. The copyright rests with the Academy of Face Reading Limited.
All information that is made available to you directly or indirectly during your participation in the online training "Siang Mien 1" must be treated as strictly confidential and may not be passed on, forwarded or otherwise made accessible to unauthorized persons without the prior written consent of the Academy of Face Reading Ltd. This applies not only to physical training materials from seminars, but also in particular to your personal access (consisting of email address and password) to our online platform, via which you can access all training and courses.
Any use requires the approval of the Academy of Face Reading Ltd. In particular, the reproduction, editing, translation, storage, processing, reproduction and performance of protected works, even in part, is prohibited.
It is also prohibited to use the contents of the program to set up companies that compete with the Academy of Face Reading Limited. Any violation violates applicable copyright law and will result in civil and criminal consequences from our legal team.
Of course, you are free to use your training materials (content, exercises, videos) for private purposes, for example to show them to a friend, print them out for personal use or organize them in your own folder. Please make sure that you treat the materials confidentially and do not pass them on to third parties.
Commercial use or distribution of the materials is expressly not permitted. So if you copy content, exercises or videos, publish them online, present them publicly or pass them off as your own, we cannot tolerate this and will stop it and pursue it consistently.
Yes, that is possible!
Almost all training courses, both individual and group, are regularly offered online. You can easily take part in these online courses via Zoom.
All training materials are included (you will receive them at the start of the training).
Costs for accommodation and meals are not included.
You can take the diploma exam if you have completed all the basic training and would like to have your skills tested, or if you would like to take the advanced courses.
The ability to offer paid readings depends on your own assessment and confidence. Some participants prefer to complete all training and then take the diploma exam to test their knowledge and gain a certain level of confidence in their skills. Others feel ready after just a few courses.
It is outside our jurisdiction and responsibility to determine when you are "eligible" to do this, as we have only developed the platform and courses to impart and make the knowledge of face reading accessible. However, the diploma exam can be seen as a useful boundary and opportunity to test your own knowledge, as by then a basic understanding of the various aspects of face reading has been provided.
