Getting Certified by CSP International™ Offers A Simple, Proven System To Have a Professional Staging Business with Meaningful Certification

In 2005, when CSP International™ Staging Business Training Academy launched a unique continuing education model for getting certified in an industry that had no guidelines, no trade association and no professional standards, it established a precedent for excellence by establishing examinations, code of professional ethics and a continuing education platform.

Since then, CSP International™ has continued to lead the way with comprehensive resources, negotiating savings for proven business-building tools stagers can use right away plus an online Business Resource Centre to support graduates with real-world expertise and solutions after class.

CSP International™ is the award winning, undisputed staging industry leader for training, education and certification.

We specialize in helping new, struggling and developing stagers to build profit centered successful businesses; providing four proven training tracks to meet professional goals:

1) Actionable knowledge solid from the field,

2) Tried and true processes that work,

3) Tools and resources to support your growing business, AND 4) on-going staging community support, job shadowing opportunities, coaching and mentoring after class to ensure the success you dream of.

Earning your CSP® designation provides visual proof of technical competence, while providing an opportunity to be in business for yourself – without being by yourself.

The CSP® Staging Training business model is based on personal direct sales and operates as a home-based business – without the need for retail space.  You can work from home, making it easy and cost-effective to get started, expanding into warehouse / office space when that makes sense for your business.
