Course Details
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 with their event brief to helping them create a concept, control the budget and run the event itself, you will experience firsthand the expertise, creative mind and staying power required that comes with being a Special Event Planner. You will also have the option to include training and a 3 month all access license to Australia’s only web based event planning software as part of your course materials. This will then be incorporated within your course assignments.
Your course will include 16 assignments, 14 of which are based on authentic event briefs. These assignments will lead you through every stage of planning an event from an Awards Ceremony to a 4 day Conference. You will be expected to treat your tutor as your client and the assignment 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 Special Events business and gaining employment within the industry.
The Certificate in Special Event Planning is the most hands-on and comprehensive course available in Australia and it will equip students with the knowledge they need to work as professionals in the Special Events Industry.
