The Event Planning Certificate program requires nine (9) sessions, which is broken down into two parts.
The course will give you a blueprint on planning and executing special events with flair and without any unexpected surprises and expenses. Any event you plan and stage is a reflection on you from the initial invitation to onsite operations. Whether you are planning a product launch, conference, sales meeting, an incentive event or a gala fundraiser; remember that the magic of a truly memorable event is in the details. We will factor in tours to potential vendors, agencies and hotels.
This is a pre-requisite two–part series program. A letter of recognition and certificate is awarded upon completion of 36 hours total in this series.
