Diploma of Event Management

COURSE OVERVIEW

This qualification reflects the role of individuals
who use a broad range of event-related skills
and sound knowledge of event management
processes to coordinate event operations.
They operate independently and make
operational event management decisions.

Events are diverse in nature and this qualification
provides a pathway to work for event or exhibition
organisations operating in a range of industries,
including the tourism and travel, hospitality,
sport, cultural, and community sectors.

The diversity of employers includes event or exhibition
management companies, event venues, or organisations
their own events. Work could be undertaken in an office
environment where the planning of events takes place,
on-site at venues where events are staged
or a combination of both.

Possible roles include event or exhibition planner
and coordinator positions in the areas of conferencing,
event sales, functions, in-house meetings, staging
and venues.
