About this course

What the Event Management Diploma covers

Everything in Event Management Diploma is delivered online and on demand - no classroom, no cohort, no waiting list. The material comes as 16 modules and takes about 15 hours end to end. Nothing expires part way through, so an interrupted evening costs you nothing.

The material takes in Introduction to Event Planning, Strategic Management, Customer Service Skills/ Personal Qualities Required and Types of event. Another 12 modules follow, and the Modules tab lists every one of them.

It is open to anyone, and written for people who have to use the subject rather than be examined on it. We list 90 Business & Career courses, of which 79 sit at Professional development. It is one of the longer ones in the subject, so budget an evening rather than a lunch break. You finish with a certificate of completion you can download immediately. It evidences the training rather than being an Ofqual-recognised qualification.

The honest caveats: There is no CPD accreditation attached, which matters only if somebody has specifically asked you for it.
