Having a Step-by-Step Guide Makes Me Feel Prepared
“For me, I have been musing on this idea of starting an organizing business, thinking about it, and talking about it with others for almost two years. When I left my job, this was one of the things I wanted to start. I have spent six months thinking about it, trying different things, and in one week it’s been start to finish, and now it all makes sense.
This is what it takes, and having a step-by-step guide, a backbone of how you set up your business, makes me feel like if I do this, I will be prepared. This course is really great!”

This Course Was Beyond My Expectations
“There are things like online courses that promise a lot of things, and when you look, it seems like now it’s a new niche for someone to teach their specialty.
This course, for me, was beyond my expectations—for sure. Even the level of detail, insofar as Jill’s emails with every detail laid out. All of the materials are approached in a way that makes them accessible for anyone.”

More Valuable Than My Graduate Level Program
“I spent thousands of dollars on my education, have student loan debt, and I never got a manual that says, ‘when you leave, this is how you structure your company, this is how you get clients, this is what you need to do.’ Not even in a graduate level program I was taught anything near what I learned in this course.
I commend you guys because I was not expecting this – I was just expecting this is how you organize, this is what you do in the kitchen, in the bedroom… I am just blown away! You do not find a lot of genuine people. A lot of people do things not for passion, but for money.
Jill spoke about something that will never leave my heart – she spoke about the importance of value and being flexible and being open-minded. With this course, it’s the value. This course should be way more money! The value that is in here is more than what you charge. This course was priceless.”

"I took the professional organizing course to help me start my business that I have been trying to start over the last few months. I was lost and didn’t know where to start and someone mentioned to me about taking a course for organizing. I didn’t know such a thing existed and it never crossed my mind. I immediately got online and searched for a course to take. After doing some searching I decided and felt it was best to go with the Ultimate Academy. I am so happy with my decision and after spending 5 days with them during a live course, I feel more confident and excited to get going at my business. I feel I have a clear direction going forward and know what I need to do to succeed. They were friendly and very supportive. I am fell better knowing that they will continue to support me on my journey as well. Highly recommend. Also wanting to take more courses myself!"

"My best investment in years! Eileen and Greg were fabulous instructors. The content of the course was above and beyond what I expected. I have completed the course with more services to offer as an organizer than I would have thought. Ultimate Academy proves to have a great network that I am proud to be a part of! Special thanks to Jill and Emily for your support!"

"What a great value this course is! I've been doing organizing work for some years, and still learned so much, which I immediately started putting into practice! Besides detailed room-by-room decluttering and organizing tips and methods, we also got a wealth of business advice, and hundreds of pages of manuals including business forms and templates. Lead instructor Eileen, and Greg who gave us a condensed masterclass in sales and marketing, were both great fun and incredibly knowledgeable about the materials & methods. The homework quizzes and other homework assignments were fun, meaningful, and challenging, and Eileen took the time to really go over them with us which was super helpful. The personalized attention we received in class was a huge plus. Seven stars for this course!!!"

"EMPOWERED!
My name is Traci J. and I just completed the Virtual Certified Professional Organizer course and I give 100 percent "Thumbs "Up" on it all! They made
me feel completely welcome and supported from the very start! Thank you Jill for sincerely welcoming me to the Academy upon enrollment, then "always being there" for me to answer questions and help me out, no matter what. Also, you're the World's Best in Rapid Response!
Thank you Darcy, Eileen and Greg for being such professional"s. It's amazing how you presentetd an overwhelming amount of material in such a way that was easy to understand and apply to develop our craft. The Best part, for me, was when you provided us with a "Roadmap" for success: easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on starting, marketing, and successfully managing our own successful business the Corporate and Home Organization Industry. Thank you for re-igniring my passion for my career and giving me an extensive toolkit that I can use in service to others. I am scheduled to take the Virtual Certified Ultimate Feng Ship course soon, and I absolutely cannot wait to get started! It was well worth money!"

"I completed the Professional organizing and Ultimate Staging course at Ultimate Academy’s using the self-paced home study course. I found Ultimate Academy extremely knowledgeable and I learned more than I would have expected. The team at Ultimate Academy were reliable and they were always quick at responding back when I reached out. The team at Ultimate Academy’s provided great feedback to all of my questions and provided additional support when needed which helped to direct me in the right information for the projects and quiz's. I definitely would recommend Ultimate Academy's self-paced study if the virtual classes are not an option for you as they really helped me."

"I live in Northern British Columbia and was so grateful for the opportunity to take the Professional Organizing course virtually. I want to start off my review by giving a huge shout out to Jill. Her prompt responses and assistance when I was choosing my course load encouraged me to proceed with the certification process. Right from the beginning, the Academy felt personable yet professional. The teachers were engaging and supportive (thank you Darcy, Greg and Eileen). The course was engaging and the class sizes were small enough where even the most timid person would feel welcomed and comfortable. The course material is invaluable. If you think you know everything about organizing - you are wrong! The best part is the continued support I have received from the Academy. I could not recommend them enough. I am so excited to continue my education with Ultimate Academy and enhance my skill set as a Certified Ultimate Professional Organizer."

Greg does an outstanding job in walking through pricing and marketing a business. You are ready to start upon graduation! The behind the scenes team are also prompt, welcoming and efficient. Thanks to the Ultimate Academy Team."
