There comes a point in everyone’s life when a change of career seems on the cards. Whether you’ve come to that point through choice or circumstance, we know you’ll be asking yourself that “could I really change careers?” question. What’s more, we’re just as certain it’s a question which usually throws up more questions than it answers.
So, our career change segment responds to that with ideas and advice on how to approach your own career change prospects, with your best professional foot forward.
Vocational courses offer one of the best ways to retrain for a new career. Vocational courses include a high level of practical, experiential learning which can be incorporated into actual work or work experience. This affords you the opportunity to learn whilst you earn, and make your new career pay more quickly.
Vocational courses often offer the chance to build on those transferable skills you already have, especially if you’re coming into event management from a different industry sector or an alternative career path.
Our vocational courses include key aspects of event management expertise which will help build on your existing skills and further develop them in the event management context, making you work-ready for your new career in ways which will not only develop your confidence, but also help you develop a complete portfolio of evidence of your event management expertise.
Experience is vital in today’s competitive workplace, but qualifications also continue to count. There are now more ways than ever to qualify for event management positions with Event Academy qualifications which offer full accreditation from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CMI).
Our course programme can take you right through from being an event management hopeful, to becoming a qualified event management professional within 14 months.
