Matt and his team were very informative about everything you need to know about this industry. They answer any and all questions you have and provide tons of resources. I feel confident jumping into Christmas lights this year because of this training. I highly recommend getting certified through this course. Worth every penny.

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!

CLIPA is the absolute best in the industry for training and supply. I recently attended the residential course in Orlando and left with so much knowledge that I will certainly succeed in the Holiday Lighting industry. Ryan, Brett and Chirsti are extremely passionate about holiday lighting and I am glad to partner with a company that has my back. Thanks CLIPA

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.

From the start Courtney has been a very professional and helpful resource for our new business "Creative Illuminations LLC" here in Northwest Georgia! And when we met Matt, Chelsea, Ryan and Brett at our 2 day Residential training we were educated and inspired by their knowledge and success!

My company went from 20k in business to 78k after a single training with CLIPA. The training showed us how to jump to the next level, but having the connections and support from the CLIPA team was CRITICAL to our success, specifically Courtney Robinson. She saved our season at least 3 times with her support and advice.Any business owner knows you need to put into your business to get something better back out. The CLIPA training should be on that list.

The professionals at CLIPA are knowledgable, detailed, and they really care about their customers. They have spent countless hours helping my team gear up for Christmas light installation, not only with logistics and knowledge, but also with marketing, sales, and operations. I highly recommend investing with CLIPA - it'll take all the guess out of work, and it'll spring-board you to new heights!

As a first year installer, CLIPA, and especially Courtney, were excellent to work with. They supported our new venture however and whenever we needed it. Inventory order, training, resources, advice, etc. Very helpful!
