Price: The one-off payment for the QC Design School home staging course is at the upper end of the spectrum, but it is jam-packed with value with the 14 full color course textbooks, 50 online assignments, and 4+ hours of instructional video. If the one-off payment is too much, you can always opt for the payment plan of $119 per month, for 15 months. Although this is still at the upper end of the scale, it makes the course more affordable. Payment Plans: As mentioned above, QC Design School offers a 15-month payment plan option at $119. The downside to choosing this payment plan is that you’ll end up paying a whopping $400 more than the people who can afford the one-off payment. Yikes! Refund Policy: The refund policy at QC Design School is 21 days money-back guarantee. During this time you can return the course material (unused), and you’ll receive a full refund. Material: The course material from QC Design school is well produced, and the videos are top-notch. The course provides an all-encompassing dive into the world of home staging, from client meetings to pricing, marketing, reading floor plans, and finally staging a home. We haven’t seen some of the topics covered at QC Design School covered by other online courses, such as learning how to measure and sketch the dimensions of a room, and how to use these skills to draw floorplans. This really helps give potential clients a bird’s-eye view of your home design plans (should they request it). With the tools available online these days, anyone can whip up a floor plan in no time, so it’s a nice small touch to add to your home staging services. We feel the QC Design School course will give you a bit of a head start in this area.

Bonuses: There is a ‘special bonus video’ in Unit B, which provides tips for accessorizing from the award-winning interior designer Jane Lockhart. Reviews: Facebook has plenty of positive QC Design School reviews, which average out to a whopping 4.8 stars. This is from over 30 reviews at the time of writing, which is quite a lot compared to the other home staging course reviews on this website. As always, there are a number of positive testimonials (with full name, photo, and company name) on the QC Design School website. It’s good to see they all aren’t 5-star reviews either, with a few 4.5 stars thrown in for good measure. Value: Value comes down to how painful it is (in terms of spending the money), relative to how good the home staging course is. In regards to the QC Design School home staging course, the cost is a little bit higher than some of the other courses reviewed on the website, but the quality of the course content is also super extensive, so it’s hard to say anything other than this course is value for money.

Final word

This QC Design School review was a blast to research and write! I’m tempted to dust off my desk and get stuck into some more home staging training myself. Although we’ve just looked at the QC Design School home staging course, their interior decorating course also looks very good. In fact, so do their color consultant and Feng Shui design courses.
