What do people think about audra's certified color course training?
Below is a HUGE list of color course testimonials but please read this first
Creating a color course that completely takes the mystery out of choosing the right paint and finish colors in a space was not easy! Yet color is so important to our daily lives and especially if you are a home stager and designer. I keep it simple with a 6-Step Process that always delivers confidence in my students.
With over 20 years in the business, the first online certification training EVER, the first training to be RESA Accredited, A+ BBB rated and over 10, 000 HAPPY professional home staging and redesign members (and growing), we have set the bar for training excellence and have the highest success rate of any training!
I take great pride and joy in working with each member throughout the training process to accomplish their business goals. As you will see from the many testimonials below, we have a lot of fun, LOVE THIS INDUSTRY and so will you! Hope to see you come aboard!

Color Course Testimonials...
I loved your training!! Your step by step training on the rules of color and the 6 - Step Color Read Process gave me so much confidence on dealing with clients. It answered so many questions I've had for years doing design work!

Loved the course as an interior designer and home Stager I love working with color but it always took me a long time to finalize my direction, now with the color rules and process it going to cut that time frame way down. Thank you Audra

I liked the idea of package pricing to steer the client into carrying the color scheme throughout rather than chopping up the home. The fabric samples is a great springboard into design work and also will inspire the client with the knowledge that they can change the right parts of the space anytime they want to.

Audra, once again you are an amazing instructor who covers all the bases. Even though I have an art and design background and I understand the color terms, you explain it all in such a way that anyone can understand it. You are thorough and detail-oriented and this course was well worth the money. Thank you!
Sandy Snyder

Your training was abolultely fantastic! It helped me so much. I have been getting more and more clients asking for color help and it just naturally went together with my staging and design business. You really need to know color if you do staging or design. It goes hand and hand. I plan on referring to your training again and again. Audra, you have helped my staging/design business get off the ground. I basically created a whole new career after 60 and my husband is amazed at how quickly I was able to get going. You have really done an outstanding job in all of your trainings! I should of told you sooner! Thank you! Tara

Oh boy, where do I start? This training was so much fun! COLOR! Great information and resources were shared. I loved that it was not based on paint only, but included some relative design and marketing. Thanks again Audra for a great course!

Erin Owens

I thought this training was packed with so much information that I feel very confident in adding color to my e-design business. I just landed a job as lead designer for a builder who is doing a neighborhood with 50 homes. I am picking all the materials and will be meeting with the home owners to help them choose their fixtures and designs. This class came at the perfect time for me. I know exactly what colors I'm going to be choosing. This also puts me in front of a lot of people moving into brand new homes that just might need some e-design work!!! Thanks for the confidence!!!

I thought your training was great! I'm a certified home stager and interior designer. We were taught color, not at this level. this was 10% refresher and 90% all new to me. I'm excited to offer this special service to clients. and I know this will help me to do my job as a home stager much better. I have so much more confidence with color now! Thank you!

I always enjoy going through your trainings and webinars because they are always so informative. You have a way of just gathering so much information and explaining it well in such a short period of time. Thank You for all the effort you put into your courses!
Nancy Griffith
Studio 28 Staging and Design
Amazing training! I was hooked the first three hours understanding why something has always seemed off since we purchased our house. Brick in several rooms with warm undertones and paint all over with a blue undertone. Thank you for giving me the confidence to work with my re-design clients which always seems to involve selecting paint colors.

I didn't really know/think I needed this class, I felt all my art knowledge and experience were all I would need. But HONESTLY, I loved taking this class and I feel like I learned more than I expected would, I have even returned and listened a few more times while working on projects. Thank you
Marcela Collins
The Color Expert Training has provided me not only with with so much knowledge, but has given me the confidence and tools to be able to successfully up my home staging business. Without a doubt, I would totally recommend Audra! :)
Mickey Benedict
Mickey's Staging Solutions
I have always been crazy about color and considered myself having a great eye for it. But never understanding the "how's & why's" created anxiety behind my "fake-it 'till you make-it" attitude when helping clients with paint colors. I have worked in the design industry for 20 plus years in different capacities and wish that I had this material earlier in my carrier. Audra's course has turned on light-bulbs for me and given me a renewed excitement and confidence that I truly didn't expect. Thank you Audra...I got'a go paint stuff!

I cannot believe how organized this course is, or how gently it led me through the intimidating process of turning my love of color into a career. Its orderly style gave me a complex set of skills in a clear, step-by-step format that is a remarkably simple. I now feel genuinely comfortable calling myself a certified color expert and feel well equipped to launch a successful business on every front!

Yes and no, since we do mail you a large packet of materials including a CCE Training Manual, many different paint decks and a CCE Large Sample Color Binder and Category Tabs. The beauty of online training is that you always get to hit the “rewind” button and watch the presentations as many times as you wish in order to absorb the material. Online is really no different than classroom except you won’t forget the materials once you get home AND you don't have expensive travel costs associated with the training!

No! We keep the training focused on communicating color to clients in a practical way that they can understand. This is about your business success and how to practically pick the right paint color for clients...basically the fun stuff.
Color is the gateway service to more design business when done correctly. Home owners won’t blink an eye spending $350 on a color consultant but will be weary of a design consult where they think it’s just an up-sell to window treatments. Our CCE color consultation process is designed to build trust, rapport and solve all the design issues in the home...not just picking paint. You can't pick paint color in a vacuum and at the end of the day, you are giving your client HUGE bang for the buck when you tell them the design changes that would work best with their color palette.
No. In fact, you may decide to just create a business doing color consultations which is a ton of fun! Having said that, the course is really beneficial to those already in the industry since it creates a sales funnel for their design business through the gateway service of color.
On average, it takes someone 3-4 days to get through it all. The course is broken up into a 85-page color CCE Training Manual and 6 Training Video Modules that each take a couple hours to absorb.

It’s a lot of valuable material, so you won’t want to rush. Since it’s at your own pace, you set your hours. We also recommend you wait till you get your large CCE Package in the mail before you get started on Modules 2-4 because you will need your fan decks handy.
We have a variety of cool CCE logos for you to be able to use in your own marketing once you’ve gone through all the modules and completed a test at the end of Module 5 which insures you are confident about your newfound color knowledge. You will also want to include the initials CCE after your name as an additional designation you've gone through.
Yes and no. Our emphasis is on interior color with respect to furnishings, fixtures and paint so we don’t limit it to just paint. You can use the same principles for specifying exterior paint colors but the course is for interiors.
