RESA Announces Continuing Education Program

Home stagers, you asked for it, we listened and we delivered! RESA is partnering with several training providers and top stagers in North America to deliver the first ever continuing education program for all stagers.

Continuing education is a crucial aspect of every profession.  As with every profession, seeking education after your core training is how you keep up on trends, learn new skills and keep educated on the changing industry. Most professions have a continuing education program, designations, certifications etc.  These concepts create the “infrastructure” for all industries.  Programs like this one and the RESA-PROTM designation provides another “leg” to our industries infrastructure and credibility.
