If I could give CLIPA more than 5 stars I would. I have a painting business and am adding holiday lights as an additional service. Alice’s expertise for my first order was so appreciated. I then attended the 2 day training in Nashville. The training was extremely educational and thorough! I feel extremely confident going into this holiday season because of this fantastic organization.

My experience with Clipa was absolutely fantastic! Christi, Brett, and Ryan not only provided top notch training in Christmas light installation but also made the entire process enjoyable and engaging. Their friendliness and approachability created a warm atmosphere where I felt comfortable asking questions and learning at my own pace.Christi's attention to detail and passion for the craft, Brett's practical tips and tricks, and Ryan's technical expertise truly set them apart. Their combined knowledge and dedication made the training sessions not just informative but also inspiring. By the end of the course, I not only gained valuable skills but also felt inspired to pursue new opportunities in the industry.I cannot recommend Clipa enough for anyone interested in becoming a certified installer. With their outstanding team and comprehensive training program, Clipa is undoubtedly the best choice for mastering the art of Christmas light installation.

We truly appreciate everyone at CLIPA, and what they provide! When we decided to start our holiday light business we knew we wanted some training, and we reached out to all of the available resources. At the end of the day we received nothing but prompt and accurate information from CLIPA staff, and we did not down the other avenues we explored.And so we're took the training in Atlanta, and everyone was professional and knowledgeable. The backend support from Courtney, Chelsea, Ryan and especially Bret(regarding install specific knowledge) was extremely helpful! As a start up company we excelled in our area, and with one take down left we already have customers excited about next year's holiday lighting with us!Jason and MicheleCreative Illuminations LLC

We flew in from Canada, and stayed in the area for 3 nights. The team was super friendly and had great answers to any of our questions and there were a lot! We were very suprised on the amount of information that was delivered over the two class days. Great class, looking forward to my first year of lights in 2023.

I knew nothing about Christmas light decoration on Friday morning and now, Saturday afternoon, I learned everything I needed to know about this business. Grateful for the trainers bringing their expertise and knowledge to the training. Would highly recommend to get CLIPA certified before you start installing christmas lights!

We highly recommend CLIPA's Certification Training. It went well beyond my expectations and was extremely informative. Even though we have had a few years of professional Christmas light installation experience we still learned a great deal, as well as confirming a lot of current practices. It was well run, efficient and never boring. I wish I would have done this before our first season as we would have been able to mitigate a lot of mistakes. I would recommend their courses to anyone in the industry whether you are brand new or a seasoned installer.
