Question: Is there a test I need to take to get the ASP
designation?
Answer: No. As long as you attend
the full two days and participate in all aspects of the
course, you will graduate in good standing with the ASP
designation!
Question: As an agent, will I be
allowed to charge for my Staging after taking the two day
course?
Answer: No. Our two day course is
strictly designed as a marketing tool for Real Estate Agents
to improve their success. If you are interested in charging
for your services, or starting you Staging services on the
side, you would need to take the full three day
class.
Question: If I took the two day class now,
but wanted to take the three day class at another time, is
that possible?
Answer: Absolutely! You can
upgrade at anytime and just pay the difference between what
you paid for the two day class, and the tuition for the three
day class. If you upgrade within 6 months, you may take just
the third day of the class. After 6 months though, we ask that
you take all three days of the course.
Question: Why
is the tuition for the three day course, more than the tuition
for two day class?
Answer: Although students are
all together for the first two days, it's really a different
course for Agents and Stagers. Because the three day class is
an extensive business module, there is additional information
about marketing, working with clients and running a successful
business, that agents don't receive in the first two days.
Plus, Stagers receive more necessary tools with the three day
class like; Barb's DVDs, a Careerbook, a marketing portfolio,
a feature page on our website and a year's membership to the
International Association of Home Staging
Professionals.
Question: Are there any yearly fees
to keep my designation current?
Answer: Your ASP
designation and membership to the Stagedhomes.com website and
Staging University are included in your course tuition. But
you will need to renew your membership each year to be
considered a current ASP and to receive the benefits of an
active membership. That fee is $89 a year.
Question:
Can I take the class again at anytime as a
refresher?
Answer: If you are an ASP with a
current membership, you can retake any class at anytime for
$49. We encourage you to take the class at least once a year
to continue your education. We're always working to better the
course material and a refresher will keep you updated on
current trends and help you sharpen your marketing
techniques.

Education credits through my state for taking this

now, but need to cancel at a later time, is there a
penalty?

days before the class with no penalty. If you cancel after 5
business days, there is a 20% cancellation fee or you can
reschedule to another course with no
penalty.
Question: Is there a test I need to take to
get the accreditation?

attend the full three days and participate, you will graduate
with the ASP designation!
