For someone like me coming from outside of Event Management field I gained great knowledge about Marketing, PR, Events and all aspects of how to create an event for a client. There is a great array of the lecturers taking part on this course and best thing is that these people have soo much experience in their field that it was fascinating to listen to real life examples. I have gained great knowledge and confidence within the field of Event Management and Public relations and I would recommend this course to anyone who works within the industry but also for those who would like to change their career path”

Jeff and Mark Curtis, Jam Events | Diploma in Event Management

“I can wholeheartedly recommend undertaking the Event Mgt Diploma course... not only does it give you the theoretical grounding and pitching experience but also opens up invaluable work contacts and opportunities. I was very fortunate to secure a contract with Jack Morton - a global leader - and in turn other specialist agencies. Without the course it would have been very difficult for me to get that all important 'foot in the door'! It's also an invaluable opportunity to build friendships and diverse contacts: as the course director rightly points out... it's all about networking!”

Andrew Timms, Jack Morton | Diploma in Event Managemen

“I researched Diploma Events Management Courses, this seemed the best , and it was an online course. I learnt how to put together a plan for organising an event, and how to plan this from budgetary, advertising, registration, sourcing the most cost effective for the event, disability access, registration etc to the actual event taking place and evaluation meeting after the event,  providing me with confidence and ability to undertake any event.

This course benefitted me enormously with my job, as I am now the event’s organiser for my team. I would recommend the course to others. I was able to complete the course while still working, it fitted into my work schedule, as you complete the modules in your time, it is then sent to be marked and comments are made of how to improve each module, and then finally submit the final portfolio to the examiner for your final grade. I passed with a distinction grade.”
