THE COURSE DETAILS
Do you have a passion all things EVENTS? Does the glitter, excitement, and romance that goes with them send a shiver up your spine? Do you get a buzz from organisation? Can you move at the speed of light and multi task at the same time? Do you have the patience of a saint, the skin of an alligator and the soul of an artist? If so, then this could be the career for you.
From when a client first approaches you to help them create, plan and design a first class event, you will experience firsthand the demands and requirements that come with being a Planner and Designer within the events industry. You will then use this software to complete course assignments. You will also work with our branded design software. 'Event Designer SPace Planner', as part of your course materials to help you bring the design of events alive.
Your course will include 39 assignments, 17 of which are based on an authentic corporate event brief, 8 on an authentic wedding brief and 10 on the design and styling of a wedding. The final 4 assignments are business related and will see you setting up your own business and writing your business plan. These assignments will lead you through every stage of planning a wedding or event. You will be expected to treat your tutor as your client and the assignments you submit as your proposal. Effectively you are building yourself a portfolio as you make your way through the course, allowing you to hit the ground running upon graduation. The last two assignments in the course focus on starting your own business and gaining employment within the industry.
To further develop your skills and knowledge you will also be assigned an ongoing Event Design assignment which will be based on the launch of a new perfume. Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to put together a product launch for this perfume. You will be asked to interpret your client’s initial brief, brainstorm and create a concept, put together a client proposal, draft a budget, design your vision of the event within our software program and produce a client presentation.
Once your client (your tutor) is happy with your proposal and presentation you will then be asked to put together the PR campaign for the product and all the documents required to produce, manage and run the event. You ‘job’ will be to take this event from start to finish as part of your course.
