It is not a hypothetical exercise. It is a real event with invited industry guests, a defined audience and reputa

Many people working in events did not plan to enter the industry. They learned on the job, adapted quickly and built experience without formal training. Over time, however, many reach a point where experience alone is not enough to progress with confidence. Who this course is designed for This CPD certified diploma is designed for: Professionals who have fallen into event planning roles Career changers seeking a structured pathway into events Venue, hospitality and corporate

Event School Students at EAG Expo, Excel London For students on our full-time course, the study of event consumer experience goes far beyond textbooks and theory sessions.

Our winter term is now fully underway, with teaching taking place

From Self-Taught to Strategically Skilled Many people working in events arrive there organically. You learn on the job, pick things up quickly, solve problems in real time and deliver under pressure. It is a strong foundation. However, at a certain point, experience alone is no longer enough. If you are self-taught and already working in an event planning or coordination role, professional development is often less about starting again and more about adding structure, confide

Every year, a small number of moments stand out as true highlights of our teaching calendar. This visit to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is firmly one of them. For our Festival Management students, this was not a day out as spectators. It was a structured, analytical site visit designed to explore one of London’s most complex seasonal events through the eyes of an event manager. From the moment they entered the site, students were encouraged to observe, question and evaluate ho
