Tuition

So What Is This Going
To Cost Me?
What you really have to ask yourself is "How much are your dreams worth"? To get a college degree in interior design, we're talking about a potential investment of $40,000 or more (not to mention four years of your life). Franchise fees can run anywhere from $75,000 and up (and doesn't include rent, equipment and a host of other expenses). And even just setting up an independent retail shop often requires a hefty investment of $50,000 or more.
When you compare business start-up costs and other occupational training programs that teach you a new skill but DON'T teach you how to turn that skill into a successful business, Redesign/ Home Staging training can be considered a real bargain! For a FRACTION of the price, you can be certified and ready to hand out your shingle almost immediately following the class.
When you join me in Thousand Oaks, CA for training, you can get an Interior Redesign certification in ONLY 5 days and with an investment of ONLY
$2,700!!
(Note: Tuition for out-of state sessions is $3,100 to off-set travel & training costs.)
Think about what it is worth to you to be in a position to do what you love, to be a part of one of the most exciting and rapidly growing industries around, and to positively impact the lives of your clients by redesigning a room or completing an entire home makeover. When you stop and really consider it, isn't $2,700 a fair price to pay to make that dream come true?
