The Event Management course introduces the different types of events you could find yourself working on and the
essential foundation knowledge base required by an event professional. There is so much more to event management than most people anticipate, including working with a very different range of clients and marketing your events which is the hardest task of all.

Correspondence Course Format
The course involves you reading the information supplied by your tutors and completing a series of activities for
each chapter. There are twelve chapters broken into six modules in the single subject courses and seven slightly
larger modules in the combined course, to be completed and marked before you receive your diploma certificate. The certificate is subject to a pass/fail assessment by WPS tutors.

All UK postage costs will be covered by the WPS.

Help is provided by telephone and email and if necessary candidates may book a day with a tutor for face-toface
assistance for a fee to cover travel/tutorial expenses.

The Diploma
Candidates may use their personal course tutor as a CV academic referee and once certified, may show the diploma to future employers and customers. The certificate is indicative of candidates' core competence and the support facilities available while they build up their portfolio of experience.

Duration of course
Candidates may take as long as necessary to complete each module however it is essential that all modules are completed within 24 months of registering for the course. We estimate that doing just 2 hours per week takes approximately 2-3 months to complete the home study level of the course.

Discounts
Once you have enrolled on an WPS course you are entitled to study any further home study or weekend courses
for just £395 within 13 months of registering.

Entry Requirements
We recommend for your own benefit, that you have a GCSE (or equivalent) in English. Allowances will be
made if you have fluent English skills with no formal qualifications at the discretion of the board.

Evaluation
Halfway through the course and at the end of the six modules candidates may be asked to complete a voluntary
evaluation form. It is important that our courses reflect both the needs of the industry and the learner, and the
evaluation is one of many ways that we ensure this.
