Home Study Course
A correspondence course which you complete in modules. Each course has 4 modules. You can choose whether to send back each module when complete, or once the whole course is done. On receipt, it will be marked by one of our professional tutors and in-depth feedback provided so you know you are on the right track.
This course has just been re-written and includes brand new chapters on planning for pandemics, GDPR compliance and much more so there's never been a better time to study from home with us!
Who is it for?
Beginners hoping to enter the industry, or those who are in the industry looking to run their own business.
Which course is for me?
Either the Wedding Planning & Event Management Course, which provides a thorough grounding and the practical day-to-day knowledge of a career in this field and/or Business & Marketing for Wedding & Event Planners Course, which is suited to those who are looking to set up their own wedding planner business.
