Smart career moves in Event Planning
Last updated April 15th, 2015
The job market is more competitive than ever. Fees for higher education have increased dramatically and employers are looking for more evidence than a degree certificate can provide to inform recruitment.
If you want to be smart in your career choices start thinking about it from an employers’ perspective, which is exactly what our Academic Advisor for our
CIM accredited courses,
Anita Stubbs, has been helping us to do over her long association with our Event Planning courses.

Why does CIM accreditation matter?
Employers are more selective than ever about the new staff they bring into their organisations. In a fast paced, live industry like Event Planning your name is only as good as the last event you managed and employers can’t afford to make mistakes. So aspiring event managers can’t afford to leave a prospective employer in any doubt about whether or not they are up to the job.
Event Academy consult with qualified professionals, like Anita, working in marketing accreditation or as prospective employers to ensure our teaching standards are aligned with what employers need in a fast moving employment market. With online study and flexible classroom based teaching options, there is no waiting for 3 years to find out if you are training in the right industry. It won’t even take 3 months to find out if it is the right job because we throw our students into case studies, live briefs and live event planning within weeks of starting the course.
Something said time and time again about our students is the confidence they have in a live event situation is a real bonus for prospective employers. Our unique blend of online study, teaching by event planning professionals, live event planning briefs and flexible teaching paths creates that confidence no matter how our students prefer to approach training.
Hear what Anita has to say in the video above about using our courses as a stepping stone into a career in Event Planning, Marketing or Management that meets the need to start building a professional reputation immediately.
