Diploma of Event Management

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 you 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 Diploma of Event Management course will teach you how to coordinate event operations. You gain a broad range of event related skills and a sound knowledge of event management processes to prepare for management roles where you’ll support individuals and teams to meet organisational goals.

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.
