Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Get Into Event Work

Venues, conference centres and event companies hire on whether you can hold a plan together. You cover concept, logistics, budgets and staging, which is the whole job.

Add Events To What You Already Do

Already in hospitality, marketing or admin? Event skills bolt straight onto that. Budgets, suppliers, promotion and risk, so you can take the whole thing on.

Run Your Own Events

Weddings, parties and corporate days get run by people working for themselves. Financial management and marketing sit in here alongside the planning.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Events run on people who can hold a plan together. The work is easy to picture: suppliers booked, a run sheet that holds, a room filling up on the night.

Event Coordinator (Junior)

Holding the run sheet and keeping suppliers to time. Logistics and staging are the topics behind it.

Event Administration Assistant

Bookings, paperwork and supplier contact behind a busy events team.

Venue Operations Assistant

Setting up and running the space itself, where staging and resources matter most.

Conference Services Coordinator

Conferences live and die on logistics. That is one of the nine topics here.

Event Marketing Assistant

Promoting events and filling seats. Marketing an event is a topic in its own right.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None needed. The course opens with the scope and nature of event management, so it builds from the ground up.

What does it cost each week?

The payment plan is $29 a week, with no deposit and no credit check. You can pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or pay upfront. Enquire for the full options.

How long does the course take?

Around 90 hours at your own pace, with 6 months of access. There are no set class times, so it fits around work and family.

Can I use this to run my own events?

That is what the money and marketing topics are for. You cover budgets, promotion and risk, so the business side is handled next to the planning.
