I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS COURSE IN THE PAST. THIS WAS A REFRESHER AND IT WAS A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE FOR ME. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE NEW PEOPLE STARTING THE JOURNEY AND IT WAS EXCELLENT TO REVISIT THE MATERIAL (YOU RETAIN THE MATERIAL MUCH EASIER WHEN YOU GO THROUGH IT THE SECOND TIME)… I SHOULD HAVE MADE THE TIME TO DO THIS BEFORE NOW… LESSON LEARNED! A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. CHRISTINE IS AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. CATHERINE LEBLANC, CSP®

I don’t know where to start. It was a fantastic class; it was such a pleasure to meet Christine and Lynelle…It was a lot of information in 3 days! I am happy and thrilled that I took this class – Thanks to everbody for their help!! Sincerely, Mira B. Mississauga, ON

Whew Hoo! What a fantastic class. Because of my research on which Professional Staging certification to receive I knew that your in class and hands on training would be dynamic and top notch, but I was not quite prepared for all of the in-depth business oriented information, as well as the professional and life experience tips, that you provided for launching a successful Staging career! And what an exciting team experience when staging the property in Oakville. A Thanksgiving Day I will never forget!

Christine, it was such a pleasure meeting you and I was thrilled to have had you as my training guru! Your story of how you started your journey into this profession is one I can truly connect with and will be an inspiration for me fulfill my dreams and follow my passion…..I am a bumblebee!

Here’s to the future as a CSP. Thank you and I look forward to training with you again! Kathryn Lang, Austin, TX

Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of being a trainee in CSP’s intensive three-day staging training workshop with Nairn Friemann in New York City. Being an interior designer for 37 years, and practicing in both the residential and commercial areas, it is usually me who plays “teacher” rather than student. I must confess that I have more often than not been bored and disappointed in such events. My usual “M.O.” is to make excuses and leave early. But Nairn’s class was a very different experience. She was a serious, committed, engaging teacher, who clearly is at the top of her game in the Staging industry. She exhibited interest in each of her students, and gave individual guidance. I took prolific notes, and soon realized how much I could learn from her. She has my full respect, appreciation, and admiration. Alice Silverman, CSP® North Salem, NY

I had heard great things about the organization by alumni as well as have had great discussions and assistance from Liz and Linda. They have always been there to answer any and all my questions, they are polite and super efficient. I enjoyed having Jackson West as the Trainer for our sessions. He was dynamic, hands on and kept the group focused. He presented the materials well and ensured that questions were answered and that the group understood at all times what he was trying to get across. I enjoyed his business style and his unique values and views into the staging business. Thank you again Jackson for inspiring all of us for 3 days. Wendy Tomm, CCSP® East St. Paul, MB

Last year I enrolled in a staging program which was very widely advertised and cost a little less than the CSP 3 Day Course. You know that saying “You get what you pay for” ? Well I graduated from that program still feeling that I needed more information – in fact, a lot more, actually. So I enrolled in the 3 Day CSP workshop in Toronto. It was so informative, so comprehensive and so much fun!!!! This is the program eveyone should be considering, when thinking about about becoming a Stager.

I am new to the Home Staging business. I had originally taken another Home Staging course and received their certification. However, my experience was very disappointing; my interaction with their staff was unsatisfactory, I was unable to communicate directly with a trainer and the course was limited. Follow-up and mentorship was non-existent. I really felt like I was adrift.

After receiving my certification from this other company, I started to do some research on the Home Staging training offerings and decided that I wanted to be associated with CSP. The CSP staff I spoke to were extremely informative, helpful and responsive. I concluded that the CSP training program seemed more interactive and inclusive.

My instincts were correct! I have just completed the 3-day program and my experience couldn’t be more different. I have to first give a big “bravo” to our instructor, Duncan Scott. Duncan made the whole 3-step staging process come to life. His in-class course content was jam-packed with information, from how to run our business to the detailed aspects of Home Staging. Day 3 – the Home Staging day, brought it all together and turned the theory we learned into a real and practical experience. Thanks to the CSP training program and Duncan’s high energy, enthusiasm and knowledge, I now feel more prepared to proceed with my business, than I ever imagined, and I know that there’s support along the way. I’m looking forward to having the designation of CCSP and displaying the CSP logo, and feel certain that my association with CSP will bring my business the respect and credibility I want.

Hello Duncan and Christine, Just to let you know that attending the course as an alumni was interesting and informative. It was a real treat to sit back and listen (okay Duncan – not always listening after conducting a few consultations and showcasings. Thank you for the opportunity to sit back and absorb more details and information for next to nothing. Cudos to you all for encouraging the graduates to continue attending the courses. CSP’s continued support for alumni including the built in website for all graduates, access to marketing material, the opportunity to attend courses at any time and just to have someone to talk to at 1-888-STAGING is a huge advantage that I did not fully appreciate at the time of booking the course.
