Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Get Into Event Work

Venues, planners and hotels all need people who can run a room. You learn concept, logistics, staging and what happens after, which is the part most people forget.

Set Up On Your Own

Two topics cover planning and running a wedding business. That is the difference between doing a favour for a friend and having a book of paying clients.

Weddings And Events Together

Weddings are seasonal and events fill the gaps. Having both certificates means you are not waiting on one kind of work to come around.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

This work sits in venues, hotels, planning firms and plenty of one-person businesses. The work is easy to picture: the run sheet, the vendor calls, the moment the doors open, and the client who cannot believe it came together.

Wedding Coordinator

Running the day for a couple who have waited a year for it. The wedding day topic is written for this.

Event Planner Assistant

Working beside a planner across concept, logistics and staging. Where most people cut their teeth.

Venue Sales Coordinator

Selling and booking a venue. Knowing what an event needs makes you better at promising it.

Vendor Relations Officer

Holding the suppliers together. Managing services in support of a wedding covers the ground.

Wedding Services Administrator

The paperwork, timings and client contact behind a busy planner. Managing the client is a topic on its own.

Event Operations Trainee

Learning the operations side inside a venue or agency. Logistics and staging are the daily work.

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

Why This One

What Makes It Different

Here is what stands out in this bundle.

01
The Business Half Is In It

Planning your wedding business and operating a wedding business each get a topic. Pricing, clients and running the work, not only the styling.

02
Money And Risk Get Their Own Topics

Financial management and risk management are separate topics in the event course. Budgets and what-ifs are where events come apart.

03
The Day Itself

Managing the wedding day and staging the event are both taught. Planning is one skill and running the room on the day is another.

04
Endorsed By The Institute Of Hospitality

The course carries an endorsement from the Institute of Hospitality, which is a name people in the industry know.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None. Both courses start at the beginning. If you have helped run a wedding or a work event, you will recognise a lot of it and move faster.

What does it cost each week?

From $29 a week on a flexible payment plan, with no deposit and no credit check. You can also pay upfront in one payment. Enquire for the full options.

How long does the bundle take?

Around 200 hours across both courses, at your own pace. You get six months of access, so you can fit it around work.

Can I start my own planning business with this?

That is what the last two topics are for. Planning your wedding business and operating a wedding business cover pricing, clients and running the work. You still sort the usual business basics locally, like insurance and registration.

Why take events and weddings together?

Because the work overlaps and the seasons do not. Weddings cluster in the warmer months, and corporate and community events fill the rest of the year. Both certificates keep the calendar full.

Is this bundle accredited?

It is endorsed by the Institute of Hospitality, and accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. It is not NZQA accredited and it is not a national qualification. That is a different thing. In events, people hire on what you have run and how you handled it, and this bundle is built to give you that.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 10-day money back guarantee, so you can enrol, look through both courses and decide.
