This course is a required step in becoming officially certified as a KonMari Consultant for in-home or virtual tidying using the KonMari Method®.

After you attend a course – virtual or in-person – you will continue on to the next steps of the certification process. You will be required to work with two clients and submit practice tidying reports for evaluation. Upon passing the evaluation, you will then be invited to take an online exam testing knowledge of the KonMari philosophy and tidying approach.

After you successfully pass the exam, there will be a brief onboarding interview with a KonMari team member. Once you complete the interview, you will receive a contract, trademark guidelines and an invoice for your membership fee (currently $500 USD) to be certified as a KonMari Consultant.

After attending the course, you are strongly advised to move forward with the next steps of the certification process within six (6) months. This means confirming at least one practice client and conducting at least one session.

You will be able to conduct business using the KonMari Method without certification for one year after you complete the course. After that, if you are still not certified, you will need to purchase a year of membership ($500 USD) to continue conducting business and continue having access to additional provisional membership benefits as a Consultant-in-Training. Please take this timeline into consideration when registering for a course.
