This Is for the Ones Who’ve Already Walked the Walk.
You’ve scaled your lighting business. You’ve dialed in your marketing.
You’ve got a way of doing things that works—and you know others could benefit from it.
But creating a course? Hosting it? Marketing it?
That’s a whole other business. And it’s probably what’s held you back from teaching what you know.
That’s exactly why The Christmas Light Academy exists.
We built the platform. The app. The backend.
All you need to bring is your experience.

Why I Built This—and Why I’m Opening the Doors to You
Hey, I’m Michael Carey. I built The Christmas Light Academy because I was tired of saying the same thing 10 different ways to 10 different hires—every season.
But I also saw the bigger picture:
There are so many brilliant minds in this industry. People who’ve cracked their own code for growth.
And most of them don’t have the time, tools, or tech support to turn that wisdom into something scalable.
That’s where we come in.
We don’t just train crews—we elevate the pros behind the scenes. If that’s you, let’s build something together.
What Happens After You Apply:

You don’t need a polished curriculum—just real-world experience worth sharing.
There’s no cost to apply. If you’ve got the knowledge, we’ll help you turn it into a course. You teach, we take care of the platform, hosting, and support.
“I built this because I got tired of saying the same thing five times before lunch. If you’re hiring, scaling, or trying to keep your crew sharp, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Just plug into what’s already working.”
–Michael Carey, Founder of The Christmas Light Academy
