  • I have just finished this course and loved every minute of it! My tutor was supportive and easy to contact and gave me lots of good advice and pointers. The written modules definitely challenge you and the material you receive with your course are of the highest quality and written brilliantly. I thoroughly enjoyed my final module where you put everything you have learnt into action and create real life scenarios it was very hard but I feel so proud to have completed it and I would definitely recommend this course to friends and family. I have always been dubious about online courses in the past and UKDLP have definitely proved me wrong about this!! You can tell that those involved in the course are highly trained and have years of valuable experience to pass on. I originally started this course with the idea of becoming a wedding planner but after learning all the aspects of event planning I am very torn! I would like to say a big thank you to my tutor and all!
