Do I Need A Visa?

We do know that you may need some additional help if you are from a different country. However, students from some countries will require a visa to study with us.

What does that mean? Well, as a rule, this means that individuals who are from outside of the EU/EEA and those who do not have a qualifying family member in the UK such as a spouse, for example, will not be able to study on our courses. The best thing to do if you are not sure is to contact your own embassy to find out the relevant visa information for your country.

You may also find it helpful to read the UK Government website for more information. Please note, The Event Academy is not a Tier 4 sponsor so you cannot apply for this type of visa. If you can’t get a visa, don’t forget we do also offer our Foundation, Diploma & Postgraduate courses to study online as well.

As our London-based Postgraduate Diploma course includes a guaranteed 3-month work placement, all students enrolling on this course also require relevant work permits.

How Relevant Is The CIM Qualification Internationally?

The CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) is a global organisation with members all over the world and their qualifications are widely recognised as industry leading.

We are proud to say that we are the ONLY Event Management course that has passed the rigorous testing to gain this status.

To date, we have had over 65 different nationalities of students on our courses and placed over 650 in jobs in more than a dozen countries.

What Are The Course Requirements?

All courses are conducted in English so it’s important that you are able to read, write and speak English.

If English is not your first language, we will ask you to show you can communicate verbally and in your written work.

We want to ensure that you have the best quality experience and gain the highest qualification possible.

Where Do I Learn?

The Event Academy is based in London and the classroom courses are taught at central London venues.

It will be up to you to organise and pay for your own accommodation and travel.

You can travel easily both into London from the surrounding area and within in the capital by public transport.

Alternatively you can choose to study our online courses from anywhere in the world.
