Why our program works:

People will tell you that you can learn everything you need to be a successful home stager in a 3-day live training course, and I get it, once you’ve decided that you want to pursue a career in home staging, you’re excited to get started and want to learn the information as quickly as possible so that you can get your business up and running right away (creatives are not exactly known for their patience). But, there’s a big problem with that: you see, your brain can only retain so much information without making use of it, so while you might be able to consume everything that’s thrown at you, you won’t be able to retain and apply it. Your brain will file away the information as unnecessary because you didn’t do anything with it.

The real way to do it is to learn the information in bite-sized and consumable pieces, utilizing multiple teaching techniques and engaging multiple senses by using a combination of instructional video tutorials and follow-along module notes, as well as implementation, such as assignments, quizzes, or customizable templates for putting the information to use right away so that you can apply what you have learned as you go.

Here’s why this works: not only does this method of bite-sized learning allow for maximum absorption by your brain (studies state that humans forget approximately 50% of new information within an hour of learning it and within 24 hours, that number goes up to an average of 70%!), but combining it with implementation as you learn increases your chances of retention significantly. This is called “active learning” and there’s a TON of science to back it up. As one example, the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) has examined the engagement experiences of hundreds of thousands of students from over 1600 colleges and universities since 2000. The consistent results of these data show that active learning leads to high levels of student achievement and personal development. In fact, in a study by Freeman et al in 2014, students in courses without active learning were 1.5 times more likely to fail than students with active learning!

That’s why our RESP® Certification program is all online and on-demand (for life), and is broken down into 22 easy-to-digest modules, released one day at a time. This makes it easy to complete without getting overwhelmed. Instead of looking at it as one big course, you tackle it one day at a time. The design of the training also makes it super easy to go back and review a lesson days, months, or even years after initially learning it, if you do need a refresher. Plus it gives you flexibility to adapt the delivery of the information to the style that bests fits you and your style, whether it’s increasing or decreasing the speed of the video, highlighting your module notes, or pausing the video to write your own notes (which is especially helpful if english is not your first language). Our checkpoint questions, quizzes and assignments along the way help you to test and implement your knowledge and understanding in real-time.

We all want shortcuts, and you might want to take a 3-day course because you are eager to learn the information as fast as possible, but while you might speed up your business launch, you’re actually delaying your success because you simply can’t absorb it all.

Our program includes everything that you need to hone your creative talents using proven home staging principles, plus we give you the complete guide to creating your business plan and launching your business. Get your business on the path to profits right from the start!
