Whether you have run a wedding for family or never run anything, events start with the same steps. Concept, budget, suppliers, marketing, risk, then the day itself. A calm way in, the right fit for first timers.
Concept to pack down, in order. Most people can picture the day itself and have no idea what the eight weeks before it look like.
These are the two parts that scare people off events, and the two parts a venue or a client checks first.
Nine topics, self paced, alongside whatever you do now. A fair way to find out if the pace of events suits you.
Events work spreads wider than weddings: conferences, exhibitions, sport, product launches and everything a venue hosts in a year. Most people start on someone else's event, on the desk or behind the scenes, and learn the pace from there. The work is lists, phone calls and staying level when something changes an hour out.
Supporting the team running a multi day program.
The moving parts inside the building.
Arrivals, badges and the first impression.
Looking after stands and the people on them.
Keeping sponsors informed and looked after.
Promotion, content and ticket push.
Sound, lighting and staging support.
The guest side, from arrival to exit.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.
Three things that make this a working framework, not a hobby guide.
The course carries endorsement from a hospitality body, alongside the college's ICOES and CPD Standards Office accreditation.
Financial management and risk management each get their own topic, because that is where events come apart.
Insights from event planners and business owners working in the Australian sector, with the chance to connect with people in it.

An advisor runs through the nine topics.

From $29 a week on a plan, with no deposit and no credit check. An advisor confirms current pricing.
That depends on you. It is self paced with no fixed class times, so it moves at whatever speed your week allows.
You will have the framework for it: concept, budget, suppliers, promotion, risk and the day itself. Most people start by working on someone else's events first, which is where the contacts and the confidence come from.
No exams, ever. Assessment tasks sit inside the topics as you work through them.
The process is the same for a wedding, a conference or a launch. Concept, budget, suppliers, risk and staging do not change, only the guest list does.
It carries a Certificate of Achievement and is endorsed by the Institute of Hospitality, with the college holding ICOES accreditation, CPD Standards Office accreditation and International Approval and Registration Centre registration. That is accreditation for professional development. The college is not an RTO and the course is not nationally recognised. Those are different things, and events is a field where people are hired on what they have helped run.
Yes. A 10-day money back guarantee runs from enrolment.
