CSP™ has always required potential stagers to pass a thorough test before receiving their accreditation, the only major staging training company to do so. This requirement adds a guarantee of the quality of work provided by their graduates. Stagers will now be able to move beyond basic certification and become Senior Staging Consultants™ and Expert Staging Consultants™.

As companion industries, raising the bar on training for home stagers will benefit the Real Estate industry. The ncrease in available courses will be extended to real estate agents who have taken staging courses and full time stagers alike. The impact of staging has made it an increasingly popular, and necessary, aspect of selling Real Estate.With the recent lulls in the market, the added selling power of staged properties increases the need for CSP™ trained stagers throughout North America.
