RESA’s Accreditation process does this for the staging training industry; it sets the standards for staging training.
“We have always known we have a leading staging training program, one which grows with the staging industry, however, being older than the trade association it wasn’t until this year we felt we should get this stamp of approval from RESA” explains Christine Rae, President and founder of Certified Staging Professionals course. “Similar to our CSP International Masters of Real Estate Staging, stagers apply to show proof of experience, excellence, the RESA Accreditation of the CSP Program is proof to potential staging students, the staging program exceeds high industry standards set by the staging trade association; RESA.”
“The application process was grueling; it took weeks to compile the necessary proof of enriched course content, viable finances, excellent reputation, office procedures, trainers experience and more!” says Angela Brooks, Director of Marketing & National Accounts for CSP International Academy. “As much as it is hard work, it is comforting to know all staging training programs will need to go through this process.”
