Case Studies - Diploma in Event Planning

Blaire Dorsey, Cincinnati, OH

Why did you enrol on the course?

Because I want a career change. Working with people, organizing and planning has always interested me. This seemed perfect!

Did you make any contact with the Institute before enrolling?

Yes. I talked to a student who assurred me that the institute is "real" and a great way to learn if you have a full time job.

What was your impression of the course when it arrived?

Good. It was organized well. I just read one piece at a time. That's the key to not being overwhelmed.

Did you consider any other courses?

Yes. But this was the most informative and worthwhile for the money.

Ultimately, what do you want to do?

Own my own event planning company.

How are you progressing with your course?

I have two assignments left. I have gotten all A's and 3 B's on my assignments. My tutor is very supportive. SHe really takes the time to grade my assignments and to attach an entire page of comments and helpful advice.

What might you say to someone who was thinking of enrolling on the course?

Do it! If you like to work with people and you are organized, this is the career for you. This is the first step to gaining experience and making contacts.
