Learning at home
Summary
- Tutor is available to students
Overview
Our brand-new Wedding Planning and Events Management Course has been specially-written by an experienced event coordinator who has been planning and running events for over 30 years, and he will be personally tutoring you for the duration of your course.
By studying the course you will gain a real insight into project management (which is a valuable skill in itself) as it applies to planning and delivering complex celebrations and corporate events, and it will provide you with the skills and knowledge to be able to effectively plan and coordinate in a wide range of events and weddings. In our increasingly-diverse range of ethnic backgrounds, there is even a section on planning weddings for some of the more popular cultures represented in UK society today, such as Jewish, Muslim and Hindu. The course examines the various planning functions and considerations required to deliver a successful event or wedding through a number of Units dealing with the individual aspects peculiar to each, plus the many combined processes and skills that apply to both.
