Fabulous parties don’t just happen. They require careful planning! You can be sure that if you’ve ever been to a truly memorable party, then it’s likely to have been organised by a
professional party planner. Becoming a
party planner can be great fun, and may sound like a perfect career, but it still involves long hours, hard work and sore feet!
So, where do you begin in your quest to establish yourself as a successful
party planner? Well, for most, it starts with enrolling on a party planner course and here at
Event Academy we have short diploma courses which can have you qualified within three months.
Party planning involves meticulous attention to detail. It is the combination of knowledge, experience and preparation which will allow you to throw an awesome party without missing a beat. When things go to plan, guests won’t notice how much work has been done because they will be too busy having a great time; it is only when things go wrong that people notice the planning, or more accurately the lack of it!
What does it take
to throw an awesome party? It should be no surprise that the first attribute you need to develop is to become ὓber-organised. You will also need to be able to stay calm under pressure. Once the party is under-way, you are going to be needed in several places at once. Learning
how to throw an awesome party begins with a firm foundation of excellent training; take a look at our courses which cover this exciting area of event planning.
Party venues vary hugely, it could be somewhere unusual like a vintage car museum, a castle, casino or inside a huge marquee on a country estate. At the very top end of this lucrative market would be events such as the 50th birthday of the Sultan of Brunei who was reputed to have spent $27million on his party, including a $16 million performance from Michael Jackson!
Admittedly, opportunities like that don’t come knocking often but with the right planning and a well allocated budget, hosting an awesome party is within reach of many discerning people, not just A-list celebrities and socialites! To maximise your chances of working in this sector, you will need the very best qualifications.
Party planner jobs are hard enough to land, without having your qualifications being questioned by your prospective employer. Our part-time Diploma and our full-time Postgraduate event management training courses are accredited by the
Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). This gives you the peace of mind that your event training is credible and recognised throughout the industry.
Our tutors will teach you absolutely everything about
planning an awesome party. You’ll be given plenty of opportunities to get work experience
in event management
so you can learn on the job whilst training. We have formed a solid network of industry partners who provide our students with some of the best events on which to hone their skills.
