For anyone considering a career in home staging, professional training is a must. But with so many choices of home staging training programs to consider, how can you be sure you are making the right choice?
As in any business investment decision, you should base your decision on VALUE not PRICE.
1. What exactly will be covered in the training?
Will you learn how to do a consultation, price your services, prepare a bid, market your business and showcase with expertise and flair?
2. Who will be your trainer?
Will you be trained by an expert in the industry and talented teacher, who can share their diverse experience and answer your questions. Check testimonials from other trainees who have taken classes with the trainer.
3. Will you have the opportunity to share your learning experience with other creative stagers, who will become an instant buddy system for you?
Home study programs are widely available, but how can they compare with shared learning in a dynamic, motivating and collegial setting?
4.Will there be a hands-on staging opportunity?
I have no idea how anyone can be trained to be a home stager without any hands-on training.
5. What kind of support will be provided to you after the training program?
Will you have continuing ed opportunity including mentoring support? Will you have the opportunity to return to class for refresher classes as often as you wish?
6. Will you achieve a highly respected designation and become a member of an exemplary association of home staging professionals?
I have no doubt that Certified Staging Professionals offers the best comprehensive home staging training program in the industry. As president of Ingenuity & Pizzazz, Inc., I have collaborated with agents and homeowners on the staging and sale of over $600 million in real estate. This year I was honored to receive the Real Estate Staging Association?s 2012 Professional Stager of the Year Award. For the past 5 years I have also been a Certified Staging Professionals instructor and it has been my pleasure to share my diverse experience with all my trainees.

Testimonials:
A recent NYC trainee of mine was disappointed by another training program, where they had spent hours practicing arrangements of small items on tables. Here?s what she had to say about the CSP training:
?A few months ago I took another Home Staging Certification program. I learned very little, have since received no support and was not effectively taught everything about the industry and how to run a staging business. Completion of that program left me confused and floundering. I was not prepared to start my business with any sense of confidence.
I decided to search a bit more extensively to find another Home Staging certification course. I committed to taking the three day extensive course offered by CSP in NYC with Nairn Friemann. I chose to take this course because Nairn is one of the top stagers in the area. If you are going to learn a new skill, might as well learn from the best! Furthermore, they offer a hands-on experience the third day of the class, something that is not offered by most other programs. I feel strongly that if you want to learn and be creative, you need to do this in person. An on-line course, in a creative industry, is just not going to cut it.
The class was absolutely unbelievable. I learned so much, not just about the creative facets of Staging, but also the business aspect of this industry. I learned how to do a consultation, how to write a proposal and how to market a Staging business. It was hard work, but well worth the investment of my time and money. I would highly recommend the CSP program to anyone who is SERIOUS about starting a Home Staging company. It is a best and most thorough program offered.

Certified Staging Professionals offers all alumni the opportunity to return to class for ?refresher training? at any location.
?I am an alumni of Certified Staging Professionals. I would like to express my thanks to Nairn Friemann (CSP Instructor), and CSPI Business Training Academy taught at Purchase College, NY for the opportunity of partaking in their three day home staging course last year.?
?This year, I enrolled in the course again as a refresher, and the whole ?training? experience has been extremely helpful in continuously learning the process of starting and running a home staging business. Not to mention, meeting a wonderful diverse group of eager fellow students.?
?Nairn has instilled great experienced knowledge and support in both the classroom, and in real time home staging/showcasing. I am honored to have learned from her.?
?I have also worked with Nairn for the past year in staging/showcasing, and it has thoroughly been enjoyable. I feel I have more confidence, and I have learnt to approach home staging/showcasing challenges without blinking. I look forward to learning more, and I am very grateful to Nairn for giving me this wonderful opportunity.?

I also offer mentoring days for my trainees:
?Yesterday was fabulous. The information and the camaraderie were flowing like a spring. Thank you for your generosity and good will. You continue to be an inspiration to me and others. I loved being with other stagers. They were inspiring and fun people. Thank you again. I loved every moment of the day.?
Dolores Curley
?I wanted to again thank you for hosting and coordinating your mentoring day last week. It is a sign of a true professional when you take the time out of your busy day to mentor folks just starting in the business. I appreciate the local insights you provided as well as the chance to make new acquaintances and network.?
