Why this course?
The model of Higher Education in the UK is not working. Grossly overpaid senior management, mainly out of touch, whilst students are saddled in debt. Some courses offering 10 hours a week contact with uninterested tutors who are only teaching as they are unable to gain employment in industry and more and more graduates are not working in the sector they studied. This course I offer attempts to change this. An interactive, accredited and endorsed course can only help you achieve your goals. Whether you aspire to work at festivals, conferences, sports events or wish to be more aware of your surroundings at events then this is the course for you! Please see the content below for the different sessions.
“I really enjoyed this course and would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to put on events. The modules gave an insight into the most important areas to consider when putting on any type of event, providing useful resources and exercises that helped with my understanding. I can’t wait to start putting on my own events!” Francesca L
“Very informative and I learnt a lot more than I thought I could in that space of time. I felt that you gave so much information and statistics that it's impossible to finish the course without learning a lot.” Felicity C
