Event Planning

Successful events don’t happen by accident; they rely on thoughtful planning, clear communication, and strong organisational skills. This course offers a practical introduction to the full event planning process, making it ideal for anyone looking to build confidence in designing and delivering events of any size.

Learners begin by exploring the fundamentals of planning an event. This includes understanding the purpose, setting clear objectives, managing budgets, selecting venues, and coordinating key elements that shape the final experience. With a structured approach, learners see how early decisions influence the entire event lifecycle.

The course then turns to reviewing and evaluating events. Learners examine why post event analysis matters, how to gather feedback, and how evaluation helps shape improvements for future planning. This reflective element strengthens professional growth and ensures continuous development.

Marketing and market research are also central themes. Learners gain insight into identifying target audiences, promoting events effectively, and using research tools to understand demand. This helps build strategies that attract attendees and ensure the event achieves its intended outcomes.

Human resources planning is explored in detail, covering roles, responsibilities, volunteer management, and the coordination of teams on the day. Learners recognise how good organisation and clear delegation support smooth, safe, and well run events.

Clear communication and strong customer service round out the course. Learners explore how to interact confidently with attendees, suppliers, staff, and stakeholders to create a welcoming, professional atmosphere and a positive overall experience.

This course is well suited to aspiring event planners, community organisers, staff involved in corporate events, or anyone wanting a structured and practical understanding of event planning.
