I've seen some of the other courses out there and theirs is no different. It looks a little slicker but that's it. In fact, it's very similr to the QC Design course that puts you through the same work.

Their giving back money to people that have waited for marks so it cant be that much of a scam.

the value is there so the job is a bonus. I'll ley you know if i get hired

I think I get this drift! Basically it IS LIKE having an interview like with any other job.  Doesn't mean you'll get it.  I guess I felt the ads misleading, the TV says guranteed employment, like what if a million people take it, pass it, they all going to get GURANTEED WORK?  DID YOU GET YOUR MONEY BACK THEN?

You just proved my point about how canadians have negative attitudes. lose the inferiority complex already, its boring.

Stephen, dont me what to do and dont tell me how I should be spending my time. I'll make up my own mind and dont need to hear from you if me or anyone else should defend them. why are YOU posting here? Did you buy the course or enroll? What's your interest in being here? most men dont get into home staging. are you with a competing company or are you just one of those people that likes to stir things up?

how is it that men seem to make their way into our convo? Who are you guys?

your friend huh? she's been waiting since january huh? I dont think so Jay. this company only launched in February so I dont know how she could be waiting since january especially if she needed time to complete her course. Ugh, you guys are making it hard to get real answers. I'm convinced havervilles competitors are fuelling this message board. I dont know what or who to believe.

The Ontario PCC Act doesnt apply to company's that are not registered as private career colleges. they're more like the learning annex.

I didnt take the course to get my money back, i took it to get a certificate. i have no intention of applying to work for them so why should I want my money back?

how did they waste their time if they got the course and their money back? dont argue with me when you clearly dont see the insanity to your posting. I'm defending them because you arent impartial enough to post something meaningful. The promise is not a job, the promise is to refund your money if you dont get the job. (assuming you want it in the first place) I resent your inference to me being a relative.

the $250 processing fee is if you return the course within 7 days and the full refund is if you pass and do not get the job. dont you see what I see or am I reading it wrong cuz i dont think i am.

Most companies are not. is that surprising to you?

Why do they need a loophole? their business plan is to make money staging homes so they need to hire people and this quite frankly is a genious way of doing it: Hire the people that most want to work and show their desire by completing the course.

Once they have stagers in every market, i suspect the job opportunity will go away. call it what you like, its still the best deal out there and I've investigated them all. has anyone seen a better deal?

I did a check to see if there are any LAWSUITS and there are NONE. Forget this website or BBB or anything else. If you want a true indicator about a companies practices, just see if there are law suits. its free to check.

lawsuits are from people that have a LEGITIMATE beef. I used to work in the ontario small claims court and you wouldnt believe the number of lawsuits that came in from people that are being genuinely scammed. It was a true tell tale sign of what was going on with the company. postings are just talk and we all know talk is cheap, especially in this country.

Haverhill staging is legit!!!. i got my check back with an apology letter. I wanted to be sure that the cheque cleared and it did!!! *WHEW* Good luck to the rest of you.

Hey Butterfly, just to let you know, pieces of paper do not a successfull interior decorator make.  Ditto for the real estate agent.  I studied interior design at two colleges for four years.  Here's my advice.  Forget decorating - go for design - at a university.  Then know that it is talent that will get you the jobs.  Employers want to see your portfolio not your certificates.  I'm not a real estate agent but I was in sales and in that case it's your "aggressive, go get 'em" attitute that will make you money.  So reach for the stars but just remember that they are a lot higher than staging diploma.

you are right, i also did a check and found that they have been in business for almost a year with no problems.  no lawsuits, no court cases, nothing except for people on here who want something for nothing

PLEASE someone show me a BETTER OFFER in home staging course???  who else stands behind their course with money back gaurantee of any type ???  sure there may be the "fine print"  but I see no scammer

this company is real !! go visit their office in toronto or their distribution center for books.  The ones you need to watch out for are companies with just a website operated out of someones basement.  I am taking the course now.  sure there is work to do , they dont mail you a certificate after they get a check.  

If you do NOT have an interest in home staging, then DON'T take the course !and let the rest of us put in the effort.  It is not a get rich quick scheme

I'll accept your apology after you've read the entire blog. At which time you'll have learned that I am writing on behalf of my friend who has enrolled in this poorly run but rapidly expanding "school". Since Feb. 2008, the working hourly rate for a graduated student has gone down at last three times, from $41.25, (when my friend enrolled) down to $24.00. Now on H&G the TV ads say a yearly amount. I can understand an institution raising tuition but lowering expected earnings is a new one. Defend that.

Oh, by the way, oh great defender of Haverhill, my friend graduated. Yep she got a B-. The marks were emailed to her on the last day before a refund was going to come. They even told her, and I'm not making this up,  that there was to be NO in-class training and NO field training. But she's still an accredited HOME STAGER, with no real practical knowledge of home staging. That's like teaching someone to swim without him or her ever going in the water, (or commenting on a blog without reading it). Defend that.

How is that even legal? My friend signed up to learn to be a home stager. It has been her dream for years. Now she's left with a USELESS piece of paper and down $1200. I do mean useless because her perception of Haverhill stinks. Same as lots of people. She won't associate her good name with their increasingly disreputable name.

Haverhill may be just going through some growing pains. But in the end their behavior, (badly organized, growing quickly), is indefendable by anyone.

Not true! Companies that are doing well and successful, want to be a member of BBB. Ones who do not, is a red flag, like they have something hid or some problems or complaints. Being a member is a positive sign for people wanting to sign up, have faith and trust in the source they are dealing with; it's a comfort level and a good feeling. If this school was a member with good results, I doubt that many of you would have so many doubts. Reliable trustworthy companies are a member, want to be and gives us outsiders the security we need to move forwards.
