If youre interested in becoming a certified home stager yourself, most of the information you need to research is already available online. There are several avenues that you can explore when it comes to being designated as a professional stager. Note that there is no specific license needed to become a home stager but you do have to register your business locally to make everything legitimate. Certification options Dont be confused with the various options when it comes to certifications. Its all a matter of choosing which particular avenue is the best for the business that you have in mind. For example, if you live in a country with no home staging associations or home staging companies, your best choice is to get training from an international home staging association. International home staging associations will provide all the necessary training (usually online). Youll need to pass an exam or two to get your license from that particular association. As an aspiring home stager, you are really after two things: proper training and affiliation with a recognized home staging authority. If an international association does not appeal to you, you may want to find a state home staging association. Each state in the USA usually has its own dedicated and recognized home staging authority. Many of these associations offer training to professionals who wish to be certified before they open their own home staging businesses. And then you have the online certification courses, usually from established home staging companies or organizations. These outfits provide the training and you are certified by them. You will receive some support after the certification and then, of course, you can hang the certification in your new office when youre finally on your way to establishing yourself as a home staging expert in your town or city. What to expect from staging courses One of the most popular ways of getting a home staging certificate is by signing up for educational or business courses online. These courses are backed by industry experts and authorities. From what weve seen, the least expensive courses can still cost around $200. So thats one of the things that you should be prepared for the one-time fees that they require before you actually start learning anything.
Most courses will provide enrollees with printed or electronic modules that can be studied at home. Purely online learning centers will provide a minimum timeframe for learning all of the modules, and then you only need to pass an online exam to get the certification. Other high-end courses require a few days of classroom learning before handing over home-study modules that you can peruse leisurely at your own pace. High-end courses can also require onsite learning experiences before you graduate from the course. If you have enough cash to invest in a high-end course from a reputable authority, go for it. Handson training is always best and youll be at a great advantage if you are actually exposed to a home staging process before opening your own business.
