I have always enjoyed color but have made many mistakes with it in the past. This comprehensive training has given me great confidence in achieving my design goals.

Sheryl L. Geiger,Caliber Staging

The Certified Color Expert Training by Audra Slinkey far surpassed my expectations. I thought I was well versed in color already but I learned so much from this online training. I feel armed with the knowledge and tools to launch my Color Consultation business! I would recommend this training to anyone with a passion for color! THANK YOU Audra.

Drea Boes,Drea Boes Home Staging

I love color and am very excited to start using this in my business. I find that people are afraid of color in their homes so this course will help me allay fears with my customers.

Sandy Kiefner,SK Fresh Perspective Home Designs

I enjoyed taking this course and found it to be full of wonderful information that will greatly help me in adding to my list of services to provide to my clients. It also helped me to learn so much more about color! Thank you Audra

Marina Ashe,Brunelle Ashe Interiors

I cannot believe how organized this course is, or how gently it led me through the intimidating process of turning my love of color into a career. Its orderly style gave me a complex set of skills in a clear, step-by-step format that is a remarkably simple. I now feel genuinely comfortable calling myself a certified color expert and feel well equipped to launch a successful business on every front!

Samantha Moss,Samantha Moss Color

Thank you for a step by step approach to expert color consulting. I look forward to adding this service to my redesign & staging business. I enjoyed learning from the comfort of my home office & at my own pace. I highly recommend this program. Thank you!

Victoria Coggin,Bella Vita Redesign

It’s the best color training I’ve ever had. It’s foolproof, fun and a big confidence booster!

Claudia Manighetti

I received my staging certification through Home Staging Resources and Audra. It was excellent. Audra has a natural talent for teaching and she provides the specific information a new stager will need to start a successful business. I was so impressed I signed up for her Color Consultation Expert training. I was equally impressed. She is worth every dime and she continues to support me and my new and very successful home staging business.

Nora Keefe,Ready To Show It

Enjoyed taking the certified color expert training. I loved learning throughout each module. I am so much more knowledgeable and confident when suggesting color to a client.Audra style of teaching was fun and enjoyable.

Tracey Jones

I absolutely love the training that Audra provides in all of her programs. I have gone through her staging training and now her certified color training. She really has outdone herself in providing exemplary outlines, materials, and tools to help you become adept at providing your clients with the perfect color home. I am thrilled that I will be able to help my clients choose colors that they will love in their homes and that will make them feel great. I also appreciate all the resources she gives me that help me to be successful in my business. Thank you Audra!

Helen I Hodge,Harmony Homes

I loved this training. It provided a simple, systematic way to simplify a complex subject, provide great value to clients and pursue a passion in my business (color)! The step by step approach to consultations and marketing with tools was a wonderful bonus. Highly recommended!!

Mary Beth Benoit,Nothern Lights Staging & Design

The certified color expert program helped me better understand color so that I can help my clients have a color perfect space. It came with a training manual, instructional guides, and pre-made forms. Audra does an excellent job in her videos which I can watch over as many times that I want too.

Micka Ziehr,Interiors by Micka

The Certified Color Expert (CCE) training was well organized and thorough. As with Audra’s HSR training, she provides many useful resources that can be customized. I feel confident having completed this training that I can expertly provide color coaching to my clients. Thank you Audra for another fantastic training program!

Kelly A. DeTommaso,Elegant Transitions

I loved the Color Training Program! It is so thorough and easy to understand. It will truly enhance my staging business and will add value to my clients.

Lori A. Oliver,Staging With Style

Having been in business since 2000 and around every aspect of home building, buying, and interiors- I felt pretty knowledgeable about it all-except for color. I have always felt that is the area I lack the most confidence in. I’m a firm believer in continual education to stay on top of your craft, however, Audra’s training teaches a simple and effective method of specifying color that leaves no questions in anyone’s mind – and having a process and forms to accompany it is something I’ve never had before. Being very literal, having a checklist to follow gives an ease to the process and is going to give me the level of confidence I was lacking. The marketing and forms will take my business a step above the rest, and I’m so excited to use this additional information to one-up my services. Thanks Audra!

Elizabeth Scruggs,Superior Construction & Design

Just like the staging training, the CCE training has been very thorough both in the step by step process of the consultation as well as how to price and handle payments. I like that the training is a whole concept approach because knowing and implementing are two different things. I feel confident that I can now do a color consultation given the 6 step process.

Melissa Barronton,FYN Home Staging & Design

CCE was fantastic! Thorough, well organized and always fun to listen to Audra push and motivate, like only she can, with humor, warmth, and tons of support!!

Debra Del Toro-Phillips,Room Renaissance

I started this Certified Color Expert course over six months ago, but had to step away from completing it because of the renovation my husband and I were doing on the “new” home we purchased. Thankfully, since I had finished most of the course when I initially signed up, I had the expertise to make the right decisions for the paint colors we used in our house. I have painted almost every room and we love everything. We’ve also received numerous compliments on the colors we used and I have Audra to thank for that. I never could have picked out the right colors for our house if I had not completed most of the course in advance.

Joy Edwards,Joyous Home Designs

This training is clear concise and effective, I love color, and here you learn how color can create your dream home; it’s the most complete guide to be a color expert!

Ana Bustos,Ana Bustos Color Expert

This was really great. It took what I have known and sensed and brought it into a whole new light. I appreciate how you set it up, the technology you showed me and all the time I don’t have to spend finding the most popular 100’s of colors! Thank you and I really appreciate the consultations and the color expert worksheet and pre-calls. So much to list!!!!

Donna Rothman,Stage & Restyle

This training was amazing and absolutely necessary for anyone who wants to incorporate re-design into their staging business! It all starts with Color and Audra is the guru at giving a tried and true process-driven approach to being a color expert and to marketing your business. HIGHLY Recommend the CCE Program!!!

Carolyn Plummer,Carolyn Plummer Designs

I have absolutely loved the CCE course. I have learned a tremendous amount of information about choosing paint colors that will greatly enhance my business as a designer/stager. Thank you so very much Audra!!

Holly Young,Grace Designs OC

I have just completed your Certified Color Expert training…so happy with my amazing new knowledge. I am a fine artist and illustrator, loving and using color for decades, but I learned so much! Can’t tell you how excited I am to apply these fabulous skills to assist in the creation of Color Perfect Homes. Extraordinary value! Thanks so much! Diane

Diane Woods,Diane Woods Design

Audra Slinkey’s Certified Color Expert Certification course is an indispensable add-on to her staging certification. As a stager, there is rarely a house that does not need some painting. Having a clear and substantiated understanding of color provides the confidence and added professionalism needed to deliver a service to a client that guarantees success. I highly recommend taking this course if you want to understand color more and be a color consultant and/or, add accreditation to your staging expertise.

Marina Kortekaas,Envue Staging

I have always loved design and color, and just recently started my own business. I am so happy I took this course, it has wet my appetite to continue to learn more. I have taken a few other design courses, but by far have receive the most benefit from this one. Thank you for developing a course that works for an aspiring professional in the design field.

Maggie Evans

Since I learned the “rules of color” and “6 step color read process” that the CCE Training teaches, I have the confidence needed to help my clients easily make the best color choice for their home. Thanks Audra!

Victoria Palmer,Victoria Staging & ReDesign

Audra’s training is wonderful. I have worked with color for over 30 years but never with paint and learned a lot from her expertise. So glad I invested the time, money and effort in her class.

Diantha Harris,Life Potentials

This course is amazing! I started as a Home Stager with HSR training in 2008 and have grown my business ever since. The CCE training is a tool to update my business and keep me and my offerings fresh. I already have paid for the course with just two presentations!

Kathleen Martinez Brem,Martinez Interiors

This training was very in depth. I expect to refer to it often when I start doing the color consultations until it becomes second nature. Since I’ve already taken the Home staging training from Audra I’m ready to take any other training she comes up with.

Lillian Mitchell,Lilly Clean

I learned a great deal from CCE Color Consulting training. There are so many components to this training that makes good sense and are good for my home staging business!

Dawn Lehman,DM Home Staging & Redesign

I started with the Staging program and literally learned more about how to create a successful design business then I did attending an interior decorating program in College. Taking that lead me to enroll in the Colour program which has also been very interesting and extremely helpful.

Alexandra Pritchard,Handy Interior

Loved learning the step by step process of doing a color consultation. I can really use that structure, and confidence to hold my ground on price!

Dawn Marie Stockbridge

I enjoyed the course very much. The course was very useful, full of information and thorough. The way it was structured made it fun to learn.

Hala A. Abdulhadi Al-Janabi,Design Clearly

Another great HSR Certification course. Audra gives you all that you need to get your color consultations perfect, from color 101 to perfect consults and marketing.

Tracy Egan,Get It Sold Staging

This Certified Color Expert class has been concise, thorough, detailed, and full of tips on how to apply this certification within your design/staging business. I have learned so much, and enjoyed every class. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

Katherine Frazier,Decorating Delight

I feel so much more confident now that I’ve completed the certified color expert course. I have the tools and knowledge to provide my clients with excellent customer service and information backed by proven researched data.

Megan Lynn Rivas,Room & Flow

As an HSR grad I expected nothing but the best from the CCE course. It did not disappoint! I’m so much more prepared for my next color consultation with the tools I’m taking away from the class.

Teresa Wright,Designed to Showoff

Audra is a wonderful teacher, and I have learned a lot about color and how to help design clients choose the best colors for their home. I’m really glad I took this course to enhance my staging and design business.

Donna Renee Nottoli,Belle Maison

In preparing to become a professional home stager, I felt it was important to gain as much knowledge and professional accreditation that I could. I take my efforts to build a new business very serious and I want my clients to see and feel that. I learned a while back when trying to chose a simple white trim…there isn’t anything simple about it! This course was not only informative and well organized, it was FUN! Thank you so much!

Deborah Hannon,Mat Home Staging & Design

Audra’s training is like no other. You have so many resources at your fingertips and disposal at all times. I love her 21-Day HSR Certification Training enough to know that I would equally love her CCE program and she didn’t disappoint. Thank you Audra for all that you do for us aspiring entrepreneurs!

Theresa Ceglio,Stage Me Classy

I really enjoyed this color training course. Your course contains a lot of fantastic information in a fast and easy to learn format. The combination of video, written manual and paint fan decks made it fun, and helped me understand the concepts a lot easier. I highly recommend this color training course.

Ruth Banks,Romi Design

The Certified Color Expert Training is very comprehensive, setting you up for great success, when followed. I highly recommend it!

Lucille A. Cavan,ReIMAGINATION Design

I realized from taking this course just how much I love Color. I can’t wait to start using what I have learned.

Linda Martell Cha,Linda Martell Cha

Audra, you are brilliant! This color training was very helpful. The fact that you are very detail oriented is key in the success of a color expert. I’m excited to share this with my clients. I feel confident I can share this information with my clients in order for us to make the color choices that will enhance the beauty of their homes.

Ronda Ferguson,Smart Selections By Rhonda Ferguson

Exactly what I needed to make my staging company stand out!!!

Kelly Harbal,KL Home Staging LLC

This was a wonderful online course. Audra is truly knowledgeable and passionate about making the student successful. Really enjoyed looking at pictures as she described the process of training the eye, asking questions and listening to the client. Then seeing how she came to her conclusions and presented solutions!

Candace Wischum,CCW Professional Staging

You’ve Got A Question?  We’ve Got The Answer…

 

What do I get when I sign up for the Certified Color Expert Program?

• You get immediate access into our Members Training Area where you can familiarize yourself with the training process and download our Training Example Calendar.
• We mail you a large package filled with a full color Training Manual, color fan decks and color tools for your business.
• We connect you with paint vendors for more tools and large, color swatches
• We walk you through a fool-proof process of choosing the right color schemes and finishes for clients

Is this course 100% online?

Yes and no, since we do mail you a large packet of materials including a CCE Training Manual, many different paint decks and a CCE Large Sample Color Binder and Category Tabs. The beauty of online training is that you always get to hit the “rewind” button and watch the presentations as many times as you wish in order to absorb the material. Online is really no different than classroom except you won’t forget the materials once you get home AND you don’t have expensive travel costs associated with the training!

 

How are you different than other color training companies out there?

• We are all about giving you a color business model for success and credibility!
• We provide you the color tools, paint decks and forms you will need for this side of the business.
• We make specifying color within a home easy using our 6-Step Color Read.
• Our logo is about your achievement and not about branding our business name.
• We provide a specific consultation structure that is designed to grow your design business and up sell your services.
• We provide you easy and effortless ways to market your new CCE knowledge.

 

My eyes glaze over when people start talking technical color jargon…is this what your training goes over too?

No! We keep the training focused on communicating color to clients in a practical way that they can understand.  This is about your business success and how to practically pick the right paint color for clients…basically the fun stuff.

 

How does the CCE Color Training help me grow my staging or design business?

Color is the gateway service to more design business when done correctly. Home owners won’t blink an eye spending $300 on a color consultant but will be weary of a design consult where they think it’s just an up-sell to window treatments.  Our CCE color consultation process is designed to build trust, rapport and solve all the design issues in the home…not just picking paint.  You can’t pick paint color in a vacuum and at the end of the day, you are giving your client HUGE bang for the buck when you tell them the design changes that would work best with their color palette.

 

Do I have to be an Interior Designer, Decorator or Home Stager to take this course?

No. In fact, you may decide to just create a business doing color consultations which is a ton of fun! Having said that, the course is really beneficial to those already in the industry since it creates a sales funnel for their design business through the gateway service of color.

 

How long will it take me to go through the CCE course?

On average, it takes someone 3-4 days to get through it all. The course is broken up into a 85-page color CCE Training Manual and 6 Training Video Modules that each take a couple hours to absorb. It’s a lot of valuable material, so you won’t want to rush. Since it’s at your own pace, you set your hours.  We also recommend you wait till you get your large CCE Package in the mail before you get started on Modules 2-4 because you will need your fan decks handy.

When can I use the CCE logos on my website and marketing materials?

We have a variety of cool CCE logos for you to be able to use in your own marketing once you’ve gone through all the modules and completed a test at the end of Module 5 which insures you are confident about your newfound color knowledge.  You will also want to include the initials CCE after your name as an additional designation you’ve gone through.

 

Does this course go over exterior paint colors, as well as interior colors?

Yes and no. Our emphasis is on interior color with respect to furnishings, fixtures and paint so we don’t limit it to just paint. You can use the same principles for specifying exterior paint colors but the course is for interiors.

 

Best class I could have ever taken.  Thank You Audra…. for the wonderful education!! Such a great addition to my business and life.  I highly recommend this to anyone serious about paint!!
