Each of our courses has different entry requirements and we would say that having some experience of events would definitely be helpful BUT it’s not essential.
If you are able to pay your deposit for the Diploma course a few months in advance, quite often we can help you to get some volunteering prior to starting.
It really doesn’t matter too much if you don’t have any experience, we will be there to help you and before, during and for three months after your course you are able to take up any volunteering we have on a first come, first served basis.
The course itself is 120 hours of learning which is the minimum to achieve your CIM qualification that you receive on successful completion of the course.
The course is broken down into online learning modules so you can learn it bite size chunks – this allows students to fit it around their work and personal lives.
For the Foundation Course you do also have up to 12 months to complete the full course.
Once you have paid for your course you will have access to the course on the Event Academy Learning Hub.
You will be able to access the full list of modules and you should begin starting to work through them in order.
Each modules is around 2 hours long so you can set aside an evening or half a day to focus on doing at least one module – depending on your learning speed.
Each module is video based so you can follow along and rewind any sections you are not clear on or want to review.
In addition to the modules you will also do a solo project – this is a chance for you to answer a brief set by the tutor – you will present back via video to your tutor as well as complete a “leave behind” document.
Finally, you will be asked to do an exam – this is an open text book exam. It is seeing how much you have taken in – not memorised – so don’t worry too much.
Students for our Online Diploma will need an Offer Letter prior to enrolling which will give you all the details you need.
