What are the qualifications necessary or requirements for becoming a Professional Organizer?
Organizing is still an unregulated industry, and therefore, there are no strictly defined requirements or qualifications. However, there are skill sets that time and experience have shown you must have in order to be successful. For example, running a business and communicating effectively with potentially complex clients require skills that do not always overlap with “putting things in order.” We suggest that you look at past jobs you’ve held and determine what organizing skills you used in order to perform the required job duties. These are the same skills needed when organizing professionally. If you’re not familiar with the details of running a business, you might want to look into general business courses as well. Becoming a Professional Organizer can be viewed as an important journey of personal and professional growth, and for the most part, experience will be your guide as you evolve professionally.
