PRES® 5 Day Professional Home Staging & Redesign Course Program Outline
THE COURSE
Dana, I wanted to thank you for such an exciting and informative course. I especially enjoyed the two "hands-on" days where we gained
practical experience in hanging artwork and repositioning furniture. As you know, I have taken other staging courses. However, what puts your PRES course above other staging courses I have taken is the support that you offer after the course is over. Your monthly PRES meetings are invaluable, as you offer an environment where other PRES stagers are there to offer support and encouragement. Also, becoming a "gold" member has given me the opportunity to perfect my hands-on staging skills, and knowing I can call you for advice when I'm needing some extra help has been an extraordinary help. Thank you again for a great course, and for your on-going mentorship, even after the course was completed. PRES definitely goes above and beyond what other staging courses offer in terms of continued support.

Sun on My back redesign training course was fun and exciting. During our course we had a lot of practical "hands on" training. The variety & style of homes I was trained in allowed me to be creative, gain experience and Ideas from how to hang pictures in the best groupings, picture height, layout of furniture to maximize space & functionality and so much more, Dana has a very easy step by step & practical approach to her training. If you are considering a career change or exploring Home Staging I would sincerely recommend Dana Smithers, Sun on My Back Redesign training centre.
