Are you considering a career in event planning? If so you are probably wondering whether being an event coordinator is for you and what value attaining a qualification in event planning would be.
As you are probably aware, having organised the odd personal event (e.g. a birthday party for a friend or a family wedding) is not enough to prepare you for working with an event manager or as part of an events company.
However, having a real passion for creating an experience through designing an event and ensuring all runs smoothly for the event itself is a good start. All good event planners have this as a foundation. What you then need is some practical experience and the technical knowledge behind event planning and client management.
