Education Requirements for Professional Organizers

Are you ready to start a rewarding career in professional organizing? If so, you need to get professional training that will set you up for success in your role!

A post-secondary degree is not required to work as a professional organizer. Training is an important first step as it will allow you to provide clients with professional advice and effective organizing techniques, but you can learn everything you need to know from a professional organizing certification course.

The professional organizing course will teach you all of the organizing principles and implementation skills you need in order to be successful in this industry. Most certification courses can be completed in less than a year and offer career-ready training so you can begin working right away.

What You Can Do with a Professional Organizing Certification

As a certified professional organizer, you can either start your own business or work for an existing company. You’ll be working in environments that require controlled techniques and ideas to streamline organization systems. Most clients will feel overwhelmed by their disorganization, but that’s why they will hire you!

With your skills in identifying causes of disorganization, you’ll be able to help clients understand how their space has come into disarray and provide solutions based on each client’s individual needs. You’ll create floorplans and furniture arrangements, assess the value of items in the home, declutter, and implement new systems to help with day-to-day organization.
