Event Planner Workshops

At the beginning of the year (2011) I created and developed a series of Event Planning Workshops.  The foundation utilized being the skills and expertise I have gathered over the years to produce templates, ideas and suggestions.  These tools and experiences I knew would be great to assist individuals wishing to pursue the career and these classes would help people on different levels as indicated below:

Would be Event Planners

These individuals come in all different flavours, some wish to help and be more productive within their organization and when the next upcoming function requires to be organized, they will have a different perspective to enable them to gather all the correct information and keep items on track. 

This segment can also can include persons who are not quite sure which avenue to explore in the many facets of event planning, such as; corporate world, businesses, weddings, institutions.  They need to see where they could fit in and by attending my workshops I hope that it will give them a clearer view.  I also offer advice and assistance which is extended beyond the course.

Event Planners already in business

With a background within the corporate world I have a strict process and procedure that I adhere to when I am starting the conceptual idea of an event.  I like to see it in black and white, timelines, budgets, etc. and it always surprises me that not everyone follows the same format.  Therefore, Event Planners who attend my workshop get a totally different overview and take away great tools that they can utilize within their own business. 

During sessions we interact and facilitate discussions as to what has worked for them and how they can overlay these new learning’s into their methods making it a win win situation for clients.

There are a number of Event Planning courses in the marketplace, ranging from $250 - $$2,500, I personally took the Certified Event Planner Diploma at a cost of $2,000 several years ago and I know it has now risen in cost.

My workshops comprise of 4 sessions, each 2 hours in length and held at different venues. My price structure; attend and pay for 3 courses then the 4^th one is free.  That means if you attend all 4 the cost is only $120, a great value.
