Volunteering at different events was definitely a highlight of the course. Being a part of event day is a great way to learn on your feet and experience first hand the different difficulties and tasks that have to be overcome to run an event smoothly. Going on site visits was also a highlight - having an inside look at different venues was a great experience.

I absolutely loved the environment and facilities. Having a smaller class and being able to have that one-on-one time with lecturers was great. All of the lecturers had their own unique advice, experience and expertise in different areas which allowed us to learn from real events, not just hypothetical ones.

One of the best things about the course is the hands on experience. There are workshops where we do site visits with the class and have plenty of opportunities to connect with leading event organisations through volunteering. College of Event Management helps you to network with the right people to get you in any part of events that you'd like to go.

I was completing a Bachelor of Business majoring in Events Management but didn't find the course specific enough for what I wanted to gain. I switched to College of Event Management. From day one I was immersed in the world of event management. By having lecturers working in the industry and the work placement that is required, I believe there is an equal amount of theory and practice which no other college provides.
