Case Studies - Diploma in Event Planning

Margie Nellinger, Indiana, USA

Why did you enrol on the course?

I've always had an interest in Event Planning and I have done some work on various events through prior jobs. After looking at your course I decided that I really wanted to be certified and decided that your course was the best.

Did you make any contact with the Institute before enrolling?

I didn't have any actual contact with a person, but I did do a lot of research before I enrolled in the institute.

What was your impression of the course when it arrived?

I was very excited and a little overwhelmed at all the material I was provided with.

Did you consider any other courses?

I did look at other courses in the Hospitality field, however, Event Planning is what I was really interested in becoming certified in.

Ultimately, what do you want to do?

I want to be a full time Event Planner. I was just offered a position with a racing company, I was told that one reason that I was offered the position was because I was a certified Event Planner and that my experience with various events would really be an asset to the company.

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

I would tell them that the course is well worth their time and money._I'm definitely glad that I enrolled.

Is there anything else you'd like to add?

I had a really great tutor (Sandy Hale), she always gave me helpful tips and really great advice on Event Planning. She also was really good about answering and grading assignments quickly.
