Congratulations

Welcome Practicing Home Stagers, Home Staging Students or graduates enrolled in the CHSP certification exam program.
Practicing Home Stagers: Qualify for the exam after 4 years working in the Home Staging Industry. Please email us at: support@chspcertified.org

Home Staging Students:
We suggest testing for the CHSP certification once you have completed your Home Staging Course for the following reasons:
Firstly, many of the subjects that you will study in your course will also be present in the exam. This will instantly form a connection and understanding. Secondly, you will have a final project in your course that will account for Part 2 of the CHSP exam. Thirdly, your CHSP purchase will not expire, so don't feel pressure to complete immediately. Time is on your side.

When you are ready to study for the CHSP certification: The best suggestion for study, is to make sure that you know the definitions of the bolded words in each chapter. They are terms and words used often as a Professional Home Stager. Definitions in Part I of the exam will be the portion of the exam that you will be required to pass.

Part 2 of the CHSP Certification. Students who have purchased through their learning institutions are participating through an approved program "YOU" are not required to take Part 2 of the CHSP certification exam. You are required to upload your "schools" certificate of completion prior to taking the exam to qualify for this benefit.

Students participating in an approved curriculum, will not be required to take “Part 2” of the certification exam, the “Practical” portion, this typically represents a 6 month preparation period.

We have included some additional information below that you may find helpful.
