There have been a number of exciting changes since last year when I blogged about The Comprehensive Training Program for Professional Organizers!  I’ve known about the changes for several weeks, but was waiting for a few details before I could share them with you.

Professional organizer training

For starters, Jane Woolsey is the new President of ProfessionalOrganizers.com. I know Jane quite well, having had the pleasure of working with her on the National Board of Directors for Professional Organizers in Canada. She is an experienced corporate trainer as well as a Certified Professional Organizer who has been running her organizing business since 2002, so this new role is right up her alley.

One of the first things Jane did was to schedule live training programs this spring in Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Vancouver, and Winnipeg. Every one of the facilitators served on the POC Board with us, so I can tell you right now that they all know their stuff and that you’ll be in good hands when you go through the training. Be sure to visit the website for dates and additional details about The Comprehensive Training Program for Professional Organizers.

If you think that The Comprehensive Training Program for Professional Organizers is just what you need to kickstart your organizing business but you can’t get to any of the scheduled sessions, you’ll be happy to know that it’s also available as a series of nine one-hour webinars you can access for 60 days from the comfort of your own home.

The live sessions and the webinars each include the following three manuals:

  • Create your Business as a Professional Organizer
  • Marketing Basics for your Organizing Business
  • Client Relationship Management and The Practical Approach Manual

If you can’t afford the three-day program or the webinar series, don’t despair! Each of the manuals may be purchased separately as a Self-Study Guide, or you can save money by purchasing them all at once.

Are you an experienced organizer? That’s okay – there are Continuing Education Webinars just for you! With topics ranging from basics such as conducting an initial assessment and setting rates, to specialized areas like working with seniors and organizing a gluten-free kitchen – with other webinars on home and office organization as well – there is literally something for everyone.

I know that’s a lot of news to absorb at once, but there’s more – I’m going to be part of the ProfessionalOrganizers.com team as well! I’ll be sharing information about new webinars, upcoming training programs, and other news on Twitter, so be sure to follow me, if you’re not already.
