Really good course that covered lots of different areas within events planning. I liked that, if there were any questions you got wrong on the tests, you could find out which ones and try again. Lots of case studies to look through too.

Michaela Miller – London
I’m loving this course
This course is incredibly helpful and easy to understand to start off a career in event planning.
The case studies give you an insight into the real world of this role and not just the “shiny exterior”. I’m loving this course and cannot wait to use the knowledge that I have gained in the [hopefully not so distant] future!
Leanne Dormer – High Wycombe
I would recommend this course to others
I really enjoyed the course, nice short sections easy to take in the information.
I particularity liked the option to save the pfd and print the material, this allowed me to look back on the information, which was very helpful.
I would recommend this course to others as it gives an understanding to the events industry.
I look forward to using my diploma and put the skills i learnt into practice in a day to day career change. Thanks!
Cos Constantinides – Essex
So thankful I did this course, well worth it!
Absolutely loved this course. The information provided is so easy to understand yet so vital to becoming a successful events planner/manager.
I enjoyed this course so much I completed it within 3 days and before finishing wanted to hop on Facebook and open a business. I didn’t by the way… I cannot wait to start putting my knowledge to good use, if you are planning a career in event management then the event management diploma is the way to go!
Not only have I learnt about planning, I now know the basics on starting a business and the dreaded health and safety regulations. So thankful I did this course, well worth it!
Michelle Britnor – Uvongo, South Africa
Having a good provider online it has opened the door for me to learn new things
The course was easy to find on the website, and plenty of information regarding course modules, outcomes and any frequently asked questions. There is plenty of choices for a range of courses, which made it harder for me to decide what course I wanted to pursue!
The price of the courses are reasonable and doing it in your own time while in employment is a plus for myself. Trying to find time while in full time work is hard in itself, but having a good provider online it has opened the door for me to learn new things and expand my knowledge.
I would definitely recommend to anyone who would want to learn online.
Sophie Mangano – Carmarthenshire
An excellent online course
Very interactive and quick to complete, highly recommended to anyone that is looking to further their knowledge. An excellent online course for CV’s and developing your skills. Fantastic for the money and worth taking time to complete with online help and notes to guide you through it.
New Skills Academy have recently won two high profile awards and after taking their online course you know the reason behind it with high quality course structure and accessibility.
All their courses have an excellent pass rate so it is suitable for everyone whether you are academic or not, which I find very good.
Kusaya Khrongpanya – London
I enjoyed it very much and gained incredible knowledge
It was incredibly well written, obviously by professionals who work in the industry. This was evident by the nature of the information, the currency of it and the relevance to current day event planning and management.
Living in Australia I found there were aspects that were different for me, such as legislation, GST instead of VAT etc. Overall, I enjoyed it very much and gained incredible knowledge and insight into the world of Event Planning and Management.
It certainly is a career that seems a lot more involved than I have originally perceived, but also one that would be incredibly fulfilling. Thank you to the author of the course, I imagine that you are an exceptional Event Manager.
Jenny Stubenrauch – Melbourne, Australia
