I would not do any staging for these creeps. If you do, whatever the price, you won't get paid.

I failed the course because I did not use a straight-edge to cut out my assignments and my tradesmen did not respond to haverhill verifing my contact made to them---my tradesman were internet home-handyman services that are legit
do not take this course

are you aware you need to find your own clients?  haverhill has also changed the pay rate.  they were bought out this past summer and are not hiring anyone---so, do not take the course

I was told no refund after I failed, got my certificate though---why did they tell me no refund but you got one?????   hmmmm

You need to find your own clients to stage their homes, you need to put on your own presentations through local realitor offices to get these offices to hire you.  Haverhill does NOT have clients for you.

I teach a 5 day professional home staging and redesign course in Canada. I have been teaching for 6 years now. I have had many unhappy students from Haverhill take my course. I don't believe in dissing anyone in this business but do recognize that they did make promises, to those I personally talked with, that they did not keep. Do your research and make sure the course is what you are looking for, and that there is great support after the course. Check me out at www.PresStaging.com.

PRESS RELEASE:
For immediate release…


To all Haverhill students and potential students this release is directed to you  

I’m just a normal person who was cheated and wants to help other from the same fait


Is Haverhill a SCAM..YES YES YES…
I have like the many of you, saw their commercials on tv and wondered wow that sounds like a great opportunity for me to work in, and to much too my dismay I signed up for the program back in May, when even at the time I felt very sceptical and weary of this company. At the time the only answers that I was given about employment and how this new innovative way of work was going to commence were very vague and confusing, but against my better judgment I signed up anyway and not listing to my inner voice telling me to run…..  

Well I received my course material and was off, excited to begin a new career in staging and design, who was I kidding, that would never come to fruition. So I staged and design several friends homes and completed all of my course requirements and handed them in on time, only to learn that the rules have changed several times since signing up, there was no longer a segment of the program that one would be working with accredited stagers as a internship to learn hands on skills, that is when the red flags really started to raise.  After handing in all of my assignments, I waited months before any of them got marked and then even more weeks before I could take part in a tele class,  oh yes that was changed as well,  I’m sure to keep all of us students from each other and that way we could not form a coalition and demand our marks and commute our frustrations among each other.
Then there was the TEST…. oh yes,  the test that everyone seams to have failed or not had enough time to finish, now I am not a fool by any means I think by now that is quite obvious , so I found it completely un comprehendible that I was not able to finish this exam in the time allotted, and those questions,  well that is something to be desired, now looking back I can find them quite humours especially the one that seams to be just plucked out of the text book and we had to fill in the blanks, well now that I setting someone up for failure if you ask me.

And now after all of this hard work NOTHING, absolutely nothing has come of it. What a waste of time , and I’m sure that many of you feel the same way I do, its not only the $1200 fee for the course, it is the fact that they connived us all into believing that we would be employed after the training was complete. That was never part of their plan at all.  They are a company in the business of collecting tuition fees, not a staging company at all , and if they even have staging jobs I wouldn’t think that they are not at  the top of their piers in their respected field. In regards to ASP, CPS, RESA

So now this is what has been done in the process to vindicated all who have lost and protect those who may have lost in the future…..

Litigation lawyers and attorneys that are experts with consumers rights laws have been briefed on this case and have agreed to work pro bono (free) with the expectations that we will win a class action suit against them, and Haverhill Staging and Design Institute will be forced to out of business and pay back restitution to thousands that have been defrauded by them.

The RCMP has been notified of this companies business practices here in Canada and their respected counterparts in the US as well (FBI). To investigate the legitimacy of this company and their claims of employment. And if so any wrong doing on their part of falsifying marks to not allow students to pass with the grades that they deserve. And resulting in non-employable status

Also the Commissioner and Chair of the CRTC has been notified of their ads and commercials in regulations with the CRTC regulation act:   Act: Broadcasting Act, 1991, c.11, s.1 in regards to their commercials on HGTV in associations  with CW Media Inc will be notified of their commercials and we appeal to them to suspend all ads immediately.  As Haverhill preys on consumers that are inherently loyal to the brand of HGTV station and its shows and only demand the highest qualities of commercials and stock being sold on their channel, and also Haverhill being a major sponsor of many of their shows and programming time slots.

And the same has been done once again in the US where claims are being sent to the FCC  in regards to Haverhill Staging and Design. Also in the US where the ads and commercials are being broadcast on the Fox  Network and all of its affiliates and the Fox network as Fox Entertainment Network and owned and operated by News Corporation, one of the US largest media conglomerates, this network is also being advised to suspend all ads and endorsements  from Haverhill.


Now if you are a student and would like more info on how to get involved in this process please post your story and contact email. I’m sure there are a lot of us out there that have been robbed from this company of both our time and money


Now on the personal end of this story and those involved ….


Lets begin with Darren Morgenstern owner of the company and master mind behind it all and all of  it wrong doings, here is some info on his past business ventures, I’m sure you will be intrigued

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/02/morgenstern.shtm


Kimberly Uksik, the face that may of us know behind this whole thing, is the national creative director for Haverhill and the instructor of the course, but I don’t recall many teachings by her, other then her reading from a sheet during the tele class , and even at that, she was unable to perform. It’s a shame that she had to get caught up in this scam, and completely ruin here career in the process. We appeal to all staging and design professionals  that she be stripped of all credentials in staging, and Associations will be recommended to take back accreditations and awards given to her. APS, RESA CPA ect.  She is the one that most of us have been talking to, or lack there of, never seaming to be available to answer a phone call.
She supposedly owns a staging company of her own and is located at:
Elite Home Décor
Office Phone:(647) 223-6777
Fax Number:(905) 426-8828
Address:173-71 Old Kingston Road , Ajax, ON, L1T 3A6

Valerie  Gibson sits on the Board of Advisors for Haverhill, which I found completely shocking to me, Valerie  is a well respected media personality and has been a columnist for the Toronto Sun for years is, and that is why I found it completely shocking and appalling that she was involved in this sham as well, her email is  valeriegibson@rogers.com.  
And publicist is

I will be appealing to both her affiliations and the public to boycott any involvement with her, and her speaking engagements and or any other media or public events.






Mike Bullard is the host of HouseCapades which is the show in the US where they launch a lot of their bogus ads and promises from, to lure people into signing up for this course. And it is quite convenient that Darren Morgenstern’s brother Marc is one of the producers and creative director of the show….the dots are all seaming to connect now, so here is their info and contact numbers as well. And both show and Haverhill  are located in the same office. Coincidence, I think not.

Please contact me asap..............I will do whatever it takes too help you...............sammytata@comcast.net

I am so proud of you! What can I do to help....................?
sammytata@comcast.net         When you contact me I will also tell my story.

I think that everyone should copy all information that is on your personal student website. Because things are finally going to happen and heads are going to roll. I think contacting all types of major media would be a great idea.

I want every single penny that I lost. From the 100.00 postage to the background cheek. And I will not stop until we get it. By the way, after being completely screwed by Haverhill, I was able to get a state job. So screw you Haverhill. PLEASE ANYONE TRYING TO TAKE THE COURSE. STOP NOW !!!!!!!!! DO NOT PLAY THE HAVERHILL GAME...........YOU WILL LOSE.............................

Update: Closed the Canada office too and limited the days the warehouse is opened to certain days now.....don't have to wonder about their "expanding"......

Correction: Some credit card companies will get your monies back if longer then 60 days especially if you prove to them with documentation that these people scammed you.....I got my monies back.

After I got my scores and saw the reasons why the teacher gave me the score she did then I quit and contacted my credit card company and gave them the evidence of how they graded with documents showing I could not win no matter what and showing how they change the rules at will, then my credit card company agreed and issued my monies back after 4 months of time.

I took the course with the "employment guarantee". I completed the course with a score of 86. I was not offered full or part time employment rather a position as an Independent Contractor with no guarantee of hours nor compensation for business development or expenses. The cost of fingerprinting and the background check was to be refunded after 90 days of employment. But, not under the Independent Contractor position. The Welcome Kit states that you will be offered state yo will be offered a full or part time position or comparable or mutually agreed upon position. An Independent Contractor withno guaranteed hours is NOT comparable. I am told i do not qualify for a refund as they have met their contractual obligation--I think not. Anyone know a good attorney?

What position did they offer you?

What are you doing to get your $$ back?

I have just finished taking the haverhill course and passed with a grade of 83.  I am in the process of gathering up the documents to apply for a job with them.  I have only had good experience with them, prompt replies and remedying situations on timely basis.  My only complaint is that they don't give enough detail about the actual job of staging and they could also give more tips on staging, such as how to hang towels in bathrooms and things like that.

and they are forthcoming about this.  they let you know from the beginning that it is your job to make presentations at realty offices.  but they do pay you for time spent doing this.

yeah, but if they don't employ you, you get your money back, plus you can claim to be a certified home stager.  i passed the course, even though i thought i did terribly on the test.
