Course Details
Do you have a passion all things WEDDINGS? Does the creativity, excitement, and romance that goes with them send a shiver up your spine? Do you get a buzz from organisation? Can you move at the speed of light and multi-task at the same time? Do you have the patience of a saint, the skin of an alligator and the soul of an artist? If so, then this could be the career for you.
From when a bride first approaches you to help her create, plan and style her wedding, you will experience firsthand the demands and requirements that come with being a Planner and Stylist within the wedding industry. You will also work with our branded design software 'Event Designer Space Planner' as part of your course materials to help you bring the design of events alive.
Your course will include 25 assignments, 15 of which are based on the design aspect & 10 authentic wedding briefs. These assignments will lead you through every stage of planning & designing a wedding. You will be expected to treat your tutor as your bride and the assignments you submit as your proposal. Effectively you are building yourself a portfolio as you make your way through the course, allowing you to hit the ground running upon graduation. The last four units in the course focus on starting your own business and gaining employment within the industry.
