- Starting your own business is a brave and exciting decision to make. This course provides a look at the day-to-day reality of running a business and outlines the skills and qualities that you will need. The desire to be your own boss has attracted people from all backgrounds – rich and poor – to take a gamble and start out on their own.
Many opportunities come about due to people being at the right place, at the right time – providing a service or product that enough people need or want to enable them to run a successful business. The Event and Wedding – Planning and Co-ordination course can help you do that.
Event Management and Wedding Planning involve the ability to be creative, communicate effectively and run a business all at the same time. Your success will depend on your ability to search out and take advantage of opportunities – but does come with a certain amount of risk attached.
We will identify the specific skills that you will need to work in this demanding sector and work with you to develop those skills through the support of our experienced tutors.
The course is split into the following Units:
Unit 1 - The principal issues around setting up and operating a company.
In this section you will learn about the legal aspects of setting up a business and the in-and-outs of financing it.
Unit 2 - The importance of observing Health and Safety requirements.
Whilst not the most exciting part of the course, this area is critical to be aware of as ignoring it could land you in heaps of trouble!
Unit 3 - Environmental and ethical issues.
These very pertinent issues are part-and-parcel of planning nowadays as more companies and individuals feel the need to play a part in making the planet a better place.
Unit 4 - How to plan for private clients.
