Event Management Course Insights

Enrolling in Pitman Training’s Event Management course was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. Moreover, I’m thrilled to share that I passed with Distinction! Whether you’re organising a small networking evening or a large corporate conference, this training equips you for every stage: planning, delivery, and follow‑up.

With nearly two decades of singlehandedly running my own string quartet business (finalists two years in a row!), I’d already handled countless weddings and corporate functions. However, this Event Management course deepened my skills in sponsorship strategy, digital promotion, and post‑event review—elements that make each event more memorable.

What You Learn

This 14‑CPD‑point programme covers:

• Event Fundamentals: Types, stages, complexity, and uncertainty

• Goals & Budgets: Defining objectives, sizing events, and costing

• Team Building: Recruiting staff, volunteers, and partner coordination

• Promotion & Funding: Securing sponsors, social‑media marketing, ticketing, and logistics

• Risk & Venue Management: Assessments, venue liaison, and run‑throughs

• On‑the‑Day Skills: Troubleshooting, teardown, feedback analysis, and promotion

Key Takeaways

• Clear Objectives: I now use a simple framework to vet event ideas quickly.

• Better Teamwork: My communication plans keep everyone on the same page.

• Stronger Sponsorship: I learned how to pitch to sponsors and boost ticket sales.
