Previous Knowledge Required

The good news is that no prior learning knowledge or experience is essential to take this course. This course is openly available to anyone wishing to learn more about event planning and would like to take part in a highly rewarding home study course.

All kinds of people decide to register for the course. But typically they are:

1. People who are good organisers. They are "doers", people who enjoy making things happen. They mostly have some experience already of running events, however informally. They're the ones who always end up planning granny's birthday party, knowing the right restaurant to take out-of-town relations, or how to get fliers printed for a themed event at the local club. They know how to have fun.

2. People who want to supplement their income by working from home. Many want to fit their work around other commitments, and to be in control of their own time. Some people do event planning full-time, some part-time, and some as an addition to their role as a full-time parent.

3. People who are creative, and fun. They're often frustrated with their current occupation. They have a feeling there's a better way they could use their gifts to benefit themselves and their families, and to make a contribution. Sometimes, after a birthday party or a dinner, their friends tell them, "You know, you could get paid to do this!"

Support

Whenever you have a question, you can phone a course advisor or email your own personal Tutor. Your tutor will be a real-life event planner, whose job it is to help you, personally, become one yourself.

What our students say?
What a year! It's been such a change in my life since I decided to become an event planner! This last few months have been so completely different from everything that's gone before that I couldn't begin to tell you. Being an event planner is like something I feel I was born to be - but I never knew it.
