This class gave me all the tools I needed to start my business, from the loaded iPad to the ā€œelevator speechā€, no stone was left unturned. The hands on ā€œjobsā€ were the best! Nothing like actually moving everything out of a room to start with a blank canvas. The class was interactive, thorough and professional. The instructor was patient, encouraging and full of personal stories and examples that she openly shared. I left class excited and prepared to begin this new chapter of my life.

The DSA was a very professional company to work with. Sandra Racz gave the best information and tips to help me understand exactly how things work in the home staging, redesign, and the decorating world. I am very impressed, and I am looking forward to working with her again in the future.

I had the privilege of having Sandra Racz as my instructor for my DSA courses. She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable with her many years of being in the business, so could easily relate real situations that she encountered along with the course material, making it very relatable. There was a great deal of material we had to cover, as well as the hands-on experience applying the course material to a real home, but while moving quickly and efficiently, I left the week feeling that I had learned SO much and excited to apply all I had learned to starting my own business! I highly recommend taking the class !

I highly recommend The Decorating & Staging Academy. I took Interior Redesign and Decorating class. Sandra Racz and Carol Bass are very professional and the way they teach is very clear, understandable and even fun. The support they offer is amazing. I took the online class, from the comfort of my home and all the knowledge I have now blows my mind. I have more classes to take. Sandra, Carol, and The Decorating and Staging Academy thank you very much for all your support.
