Case Studies - Diploma in Event Planning

Linda Palmer, County Cavan, Ireland

Why did you enrol on the course?

The course content appeared to meet my needs and the flexibility about its completion suits my lifestyle.

Did you make any contact with the Institute before enrolling?

Yes, I spoke with the Director as I wanted to clarify some details.

What was your impression of the course when it arrived?

I was very impressed with the efficient delivery of the course materials. At first sight I felt somewhat overwhelmed but as advised I broke it down into modules and quickly realised that it was manageable.

Did you consider any other courses?

I did not find any other course in this subject area elsewhere. I did however consider undertaking the Life Coaching Course (which I might in fact consider enrolling on next).

Ultimately, what do you want to do?

I do currently have my own business publishing my partners fine art. I can use the skills and knowledge that I am acquiring from this course in my current business in respect of setting up and running exhibitions. I might though set up a separate business as an Event Planner at some point in the future. I am though also considering becoming a Life Coach.

How are you progressing with your course?

Very well. I have achieved more than I had hoped for at this stage and I have been very pleased with my results.

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

The course provides you with a certain amount of information and a framework to work with. The rest is really up to you in terms of how much research you do and how you apply the knowledge and also in terms of how you manage your time. I am really enjoying the course and I am learning about my local community (which is new to me) in the process. As an off shoot I have also found that I am developing my computer skills.
