Course Format

Designed to offer you as much flexibility as you need, the course is based entirely on distance learning so that you can fit your studies around your own individual and personal lifestyle. Spread over 30 Units, each topic is both examined in depth and clearly explained in lay-mans terms. At the end of each unit there are one or two questions and a short assignment to complete. Should you find that you require assistance from your Tutor at any stage, he or she is always available to promptly answer your questions and deal with your enquiries.

The course is delivered to you in Adobe .pdf format via email and the files are yours to keep. This format provides us with the unique ability to update, develop, revise and refine the course on a regular basis. It also enables us to provide students with a lifetime of free, unlimited upgrades - there have been 4 major upgrades since April 2008! For your convenience and our swift processing your work is expected to be completed submitted for review via email.

On completion of the course you will be awarded a Certification in Advanced Wedding Planning, Design & Management. You will receive 2 certificates – one for your office and one for your website. See below for samples.

Course Length

The course is designed to be completed within 6 months but we do appreciate each student’s individual requirements differ. Approximately 20% of students choose to take up to a year and 10% of students take up to 18 months. Most students hold down permanent jobs and study in their free time.

Why the £50.00 cash back incentive?

Our aim is to get students through the course and out into business as quickly as possible. Having students progressing slowly through the course, a year or more after enrolling, can cause a variety of administrative as well as potential financial issues for us to deal with. Students that do not finish the course in 26 weeks (and therefore do not benefit from the cash back cheque) partially subsidise the course for students that complete it in this time frame.

Requirements

No previous experience required other than a keen interest in the wedding industry. The type of people who sign up for the course…

• People who are methodical, creative and possess an eye for detail
• People who are ready to run their own business
• People who have planned their own weddings and now wish to build a career within the wedding industry
• Professionals such as venue managers wishing to offer a in-house planning service
• In-house event coordination staff looking to develop their own knowledge, skills and services
• Wedding services such as florists who wish to offer additional aspects to their service
• Brides-to-be who want some low cost professional guidance on how to organise their own wedding

Why do we offer courses and train our competitors?

Other than the fact it’s a natural progression for established businesses in any industry to offer training courses, it’s also down to the basic principles of supply and demand! In the years before we designed our first course back in 2007, we were inundated with enquiries from people wanting to know the best and/or easiest route into wedding planning. Most had no experience so we simply advised them to undertake a course that was run by a competitor at the time. If the truth be known, we thought they were mad teaching potential competitors how to plan weddings.

However, we soon realised that there were lots of people determined to break into the industry. And if these people were going to do a wedding planning course, they might as well do ours! Simple, common business sense.
