The ESP Accredited Home Staging Course emerged as a result of many requests we received from visitors to our website interested in becoming Home Stagers. These included potential new students who saw our work and success and wanted to learn how to turn their passion into a career.
Over half these requests came from "graduates" of other staging courses. These "new stagers" lacked skills, knowledge, confidence and business skills in spite of completing staging courses offered elsewhere. When faced with a challenging space planning issue or a large scale project they realized they were unprepared and felt discouraged about taking on jobs in the future. In our quest to become the largest Home Staging company in our state / province, we looked to hire new stagers to help us expand and were shocked to discover a lack of skill and knowhow due to poor training. As a result, we were inspired to develop a thorough training program that would get even a beginning student up to speed and prepared to handle staging projects at a level we were satisfied with. Thus, the ESP Accredited Home Staging Course was born.
