A year studiying Events Management


 
This year I have been studying Events Management.

Within the course you learn not only about events but all the key features of the media industry. But other than all the subjects I have learnt. I have developed many new skills that will help me in my event career path! During the course I have developed specialist skills, employability skills, core skills, personal learning skills and social and community skills.

In the course you study many subjects: Marketing and PR, Writing copy, page layout. You cover a variety of things that can help you in all aspects of events whether it’s promoting using a video or poster or learning the legal side of creating an event. For example in the subject ‘understanding video and technology’ I have learnt how to use a camera (something I never thought I would understand) and what shots make a piece of work look effective, this will help me in promoting events. In the lesson page layout and design I can use my layout skills to make a poster look professional and aesthetically pleasing in order to promote my event well.

Events Management allows you to be very independent. If you need to book a specific place in the college or email an expert you must find the resources yourself, to some people this could sound a right pain but to be honest it’s really helped me, I’m now self-reliable and can crack on with things which makes task a lot more time efficient and overall it’s really helped my communication skills.

Within events a key part of it is work experience this can help you with getting a job in the industry or getting into university. There are a variety of job roles you can follow in events:

Marketing and communication manager

Events and hospitality event planner

Sales assistant (In store events)
