Professional organizers represent a large and diverse segment of the professional and business community. Their education and professional experience is varied and may include business administration, management, entrepreneurial, financial, and legal background. Most organizers utilize their prior education and experience to transition into an organizing career.

With respect to specific organizing education, NAPO offers its members continuing education programs at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels at its annual conference, regional seminars, and local chapter meetings. A Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO®) program is also available.

Several veteran professional organizers offer training in specific organizing specialties. Many business training and higher learning institutions are exploring the possibilities of developing a standardized formal education curriculum focused on the development of organizing skills that can be offered to professional organizers.
