IUSC Home Study Courses

Enjoy in the comfort of your own home. View & review as many times as you like.

A full 16-hour school.
Plus optional 6-hour Advanced course!

Over 5,700 Santas and Mrs Claus have received diplomas from School4Santas.  And hundreds of those were from our Home Study course.   The full 16-hour course is just $275, plus $10 shipping.   The course can be downloaded also for just $235.00.

And as an option, I also have the Advanced 6-hour add-on course, “Making the Moment,” also available.

The training offered from these courses is based on my book, “Behind the Red Suit – The Business of Santa,” plus the advanced 6-hour, “Making the Moment” course are now available for all Santas and Mrs. Claus, to study from the convenience of their homes.

Recorded ‘live’ at our Orlando school, you can enjoy everything other Santas enjoy.

And now the course is “closed captioning” for those with hearing difficulties or those who want to study quietly. (You can study without bothering Mrs. Claus, or other family members.)   A special thanks goes out to Anthony Mowl who edited our videos and added the closed captions. 

As I start my 24th year of presenting the International University of Santa Claus, aka; School4Santas, I am proud to have presented over 5,700 diplomas to Santas and Mrs. Claus both here and abroad.  

The IUSC is one of the most popular and sought-after Santa training programs.  Materials from the School have been adapted for use by major national corporations in training their Santas and also employees.

The 16-hour Home Study Course is just $275.00 plus shipping, $10.00, Total $285.00, and includes Thumb Drive with 16 hours of video training, the new “20th Anniversary” edition, 265-page “Behind the Red Suit – The Business of Santa,” and a personalized associate degree Diploma from the School. Two diplomas can be supplied for a Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The download school files include the 16- hours of video, a pdf file of the power point screens and a pdf copy of the 260-page course book which you print yourself.  there are also some additional files for printing out your associate’s diploma.   After ordering the download files, you will receiver an email from our school with instructions on how to download and open your files. 

Students may also add the advanced training course, “Making the Moment, for $165, which includes an additional 6 hours of training, plus a copy of the “Making the Moment” course book with almost 200 posing photos and drawings, and a personalized certificate of completion.
