CSP International Staging Training Academy

I just received word that I'd passed my CSP Certification. This is SUCH great training - and the two level certification distinguishes CSP in the marketplace. Thank you, Christine Rae! Challenging and fun learning environment. Lots of tools to use to build YOUR staging business. Highly recommend taking the training. Worth every penny!!

I found myself at a turning point in my life and decided to pursue a new career path. CSP International Staging Training Academy is THE place to learn staging as a business. Christine Rae and everyone at CSP are incredibly supportive before, during and after your training. Christine is a consummate professional. She is inspiring, caring and kind and you are unlikely to find anyone as knowledgeable as she is in this field. It is the best forum to become a certified professional stager. CSP also offers a variety of continuing education courses. We have a code of ethics we follow and strive for excellence, and to be honourable and ethical in our business practices. Learn from the best. As Christine says...you don't know what you don't know!

When I decided to become a professional stager, I researched many programs. However, I could not find one that worked for me. Then, a friend recommend CSP Training Academy. I immediately signed up for the course. It was a three day intensive course. Classes were all day with exams at night. On the third day, a practical exam was given at someone's home. It was fantastic. I learned so much from Christine! And, now, the education continues through webinars, their website, and online courses. I highly recommend this course!!

As a recent graduate of the CSP program, I can say with confidence it is an exceptional program. The amount of information and leadership from CSP are endless and have been the catalyst to me launching a new staging company. I feel I am prepared and equipped for success and to achieve my goals in this field. Christine Rae is a wealth of information and has a successful business model in place to give you the skills, education and confidence to go after your dreams. I am very pleased with the level of expertise and commitment this company has for their students, graduates and employees. I have been very pleased with the communication level, having a live person to answer my questions, give advice and lend directions. From my first correspondence and interest into the company with the possibility to start a new staging company, I have received lots of free helpful information prior to making the decision to attend a certification course. I would highly recommend CSP to others interested in pursuing a career in staging. You won't regret it!

The training I received from CSP was far beyond my expectations. I was interested in becoming a real estate staging professional and had done some research. The reasons I chose to pursue my training from CSP were many. First, I received for review the first chapter of the manual I was to study from. The professionalism and depth of study was profound. Then, I received a personal call from Christine herself! What an unexpected pleasure. She was truly interested in me and completely and cheerfully answered my questions about the certification. That was even before I signed up! Once the personal 3-day training session began, I realized the staging business was a BIG DEAL. The knowledge and passion for staging Christine shared with our small, intimate group was intense. The manual itself held every necessary detail to take you to the pinnacle of staging knowledge. The hours of classroom, homework (yes, homework), testing and staging practice in an actual house (ours was a Las Vegas MacMansion), created a true sense of self-pride and satisfaction. I couldn't believe anyone completing the training and not being ready to make a true success of their business. Did I mention the graduation? Christine and her staff made it so special and personal. I felt like Rocky who ran to the top of the stairs! But, it doesn't end there. The on-going training and available resources ensure you maintain your cutting edge in the profession. Besides yourself, there is no one else who wants you to achieve your staging goals as does the staff of CSP. My comments should leave no question to the extreme value of my CSP designation. You may have other staging training to choose from. I would think hard before selecting any training other than CSP.

I completed the certification course from the CSP International Business Training Academy. It is a three day intensive course to learn how to run a Staging Business. They cover all the business, marketing, how to stage and Christine is always there for the students that have further questions.

CSP “BELIEVES” in YOU! They want you to “SUCCEED”. The Trainers are thorough, considerate and want you to walk away with self confidence knowing that you can be a top stager. With hands on learning experience CSP is with you all the way AND after your course is complete. The support you will receive is truly amazing. This is a first rate business training academy. No other like it. Many FREE webinars are also offered. The list goes on of how this academy can and will guide you to your own first class business. Just “Do it”. You won’t look back.

Comprehensive training that teaches you how to become and run a staging business. Great and enthusiastic teachers and help, online support and continuing education courses are always offered.

4 years ago I lost a 30 year career in the oil industry. I had always had an interest in real estate, and decided to try home staging as a career choice. I did my research and looked for a course that had in class training, great reviews and was recognized in the industry. After careful consideration I decided to invest in becoming a Certified Staging Professional. Christine Rae has been accessible to me since completing my training, which has been instrumental in helping me grow my staging business. I now employ two people and have a warehouse of inventory. I would not be where I am today without the support and training I continue to receive as part of being a CSP. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has a drive to succeed.

CSP staging training is the best in the world. They offer continued education and has great resources to help you become successful.I took the course eleven years ago and it was the best experience. Since the course I have won many awards for my staging earning me top ten of Canada recognition. Christine is absolutely amazing in business and friendship. She is always there to answer my questions and help me. I feel very proud to be certified to do staging by a credible, international accredited program. CSP is the leader! I love staging and the CSP support by other members is awesome. Thanks a million Christine and CSP!

Thank you so much for the free webinar about "Everything You Wanted To Know About Having a Staging Business"....It was interactive, you really able to answer my questions plus you follow up via emails. You sound very nice person and you really nailed it because I will be joining this July in Calgary. I am excited and looking forward to make my business a success after the program.

Now that I’ve come down from my CSP International Training high (induced by lack of sleep and over excitement), I am lucid enough to review what I learned and share what was most effective about the perspective offered by this particular certification program. Christine Rae, Founder, president and lead trainer of Certified Staging Professionals International training academy, has managed to design and deliver a program where each day actually reflected what the experience of a professional Stager for real estate would truly be: 1.Painfully long disciplined hours of planning & learning for growth of your business. 2.Challenging circumstances that motivate you to create connections with vendors, peers, and team mates. 3.Inspired moments guiding you to create, discover and change existing views. 4.And finally, preparing to take a leap of faith and remembering to enjoy the fruits of your labour. I was already a few jobs into my business when I decided to become a CCSP™ and by the end of day 1, I experienced a positive impact on the future profitability of my business. What a cliché right? The thing is, I learned that I was operating at a loss in key areas of my service. I had been seduced by the romance of decorating. Like many others in the class I was familiar with the art of Staging, but hadn’t looked closely enough at the science of Staging. Combined with advice and anecdotes from program alumni running successful Staging businesses and Christine’s contagiously upbeat energy at 7am, wrapped in her daily mantra of “begin with the end in mind.”, the CSP International Training program was consistently engaging, exceptionally relevant and, challenging enough to feel satisfied that it was money well spent. Highly recommended for those who wish to build a business specializing in Staging for the real estate industry.
