Event Management Distance Learning Course

The Event Management course is designed to provide a practical guide to event management, keeping in mind the commitment, effort and perseverance required to get events successfully completed. The leisure and tourism field is immense and diverse, and it is with this in mind that the course has been designed.

The basic principles of event management can be applied to a variety of situations, and an event management course gives those with only minimal organisational experience the knowledge and skills to put together successful events at a range of levels – including festivals, sporting events, conferences, tourism and corporate events.

The emphasis of this home study course is on equipping organisers with practical advice to plan, prepare and implement an event successfully; and the course is structured to clearly guide students every step of the way.
