Course Introduction
Events play an ever-increasing and important part of our everyday lives. We love our events! They can encompass anything from festivals and conferences to food and craft fairs to parties and celebrations. Events are also a tried and tested method for businesses and organisations to market themselves and generate sales.
Events however, like many things in life, seem in essence quite simple things but are in fact, a little more difficult to actually deliver. Creating memorable and crucially rewarding events when visitor expectations are so high - is no easy task. Designing, planning and producing events is a bit like directing a live stage show. Unlike a show though: there is usually no dress rehearsal or full run through and once started - no second chances.
Now here’s the BUT. My experiences have shown me that we can all be great event managers, with a little of the right kind of help and a ‘can do’ attitude.
So on my on line event management course – 'How to organize successful events' I am going to teach you everything I know about the ‘how to’ of organizing great events and so give you the skills and confidence to run your OWN events…in just a few hours.
The course
The Event Expert ‘How to organize successful events’ is a high content course designed to give you a good understanding of how to run successful events. You will get clear, logical, easy to follow advice that you can implement straight away.
You will also get high quality course materials which include:
A 30+ page reference material – jammed packed with additional materials
A course workbook of activities to help you try out your new found learning
Various event planning templates – so you don’t have to create your own
A selection of subject specific articles to help embed the learning
Access to my unique 7-step event planning process. NB: It’s the same one I use to run my own events. I have been designing, planning and delivering events for the past 20+ years.
I know events are no soft option. However with the right kind of help and a positive attitude, I believe we can all be great event managers. This course will certainly set you up nicely to enter the wonderful world of events planning!
incidentally I knew nothing about events when I was asked to run my first event.
I learnt quickly and happily survived. I think you will too.
Who is this 'How to organize successful events' course for?
This on line event management course is specifically for:
New event managers who have no or little actual events experience or formal training
Anybody who has been given an event to organize or been asked to help plan and deliver an event
Anybody who has tried events before but found they have not quite delivered
Anybody who wants to know how to run a successful event
Anybody who is seriously considering a career in events
So, if you are an employee or are doing this voluntarily for a charity, community group, club, association, school, college or interest group this course will give you a full understanding of the ‘how to’ of successful event planning.
It is suitable for all types of public and business events.
Please note: This course is for those serious about developing their event planning skills. It is a very comprehensive: concept to completion and every step in between 'how to' course based on my 20+ events of practical events management experience. It is for those who genuinely think events could be their thing: either professionally or as a volunteer event manager running events for your favorite course or charity.
It is not suitable for very experienced event planners but, would be a very helpful reminder of the fundamentals of successful event planning or for those who have had no formal event management training.
Course duration
I would recommend you set aside about 8-10 hours to review the presentations, watch the videos, read the accompanying blogs and reference manual and complete the quizzes and exercises.
Or if time is precious: you could try and set aside an hour at a time and complete a module a day? The choice is yours
Interested? Want to learn to be a great be an events manager? Then don’t delay sign up now…it could be the start of something very special
PS: Imagine having the confidence to run your own events? To lead or be part of an event planning team organizing charity, arts and sports events: exhibitions, shows and fares, parties and celebrations and know you did yourself…with a little help from someone who started…just where you did – knowing nothing about events!
Go on: give it a go: events really could be your thing!
Thank you!
