The conference and event market is a very diverse market, covering everything for small company board meetings, through to private parties to large outdoor events or exhibitions. The conference and event market in the UK alone is estimated by the British Association of Conference Destinations (BACD) at £8 billion in 2007.
There are four main types of events all covered within the Event Planning Diploma:
• Conferences and Meetings for associations, corporations and the public sector
• Private Events with catering such as birthday parties, weddings and christenings
• Outdoor festivals and events such as music festivals or parades
• Exhibitions – trade exhibitions where suppliers demonstrate and promote their goods.
Destination Management is the name given to companies and their agents who specialise in travel itineraries for clients who require fully exclusive and managed travel, incentive packages and events. This Destination and Event Planning Diploma works very well for people who may also want to achieve a tourism qualification.
The Customer Service Diploma has been developed to enable those working, or hoping to work, in a customer service role, in any type of organisation or context, to acquire and develop, a level of understanding and skills that will help them to service customer requirements in a professional, effective, and efficient manner.
