Our Wedding Planning, Design & Management courses are designed to teach you all you need to know about setting up and running your own wedding & special events company in a matter of months! We offer 3 separate courses to choose from and no prior wedding or events planning experience is necessary. Our popular First Class Advanced training program is considered by many to be among the best in the country.
December 2019: The wedding industry is a fluid and fast moving industry so we take great care to ensure that our training keeps up with the very latest trends and developments. Although our current course - Version 10, released 10/2017 - is still one of the finest wedding planning courses on the market, we are proud to announce that following a 3 month review, Version 11 is due to launch in February 2020! It will be a formidable set of training materials and all students currently enrolled will automatically receive a free copy !
Note to Students: The structure will remain the same so just continue with the next unit in V11.
Aside from the fact that you will be training alongside established wedding planners...

SOME FINER DETAILS
It is a little know fact that you learn considerably more from a Tutor-led, home study wedding planning course such as ours, than you would from a costly classroom based program, where you are expected to compete for attention with a dozen other students with random abilities and skill sets. Here are a few other notable facts and figures for you.
Students enrolling on our First Class course now also benefit from our complimentary 6 Months Graduate Mentoring program, worth £600.00! And students enrolling on either of our two Advanced courses receive a FREE professional wedding planning contract worth £300.00! This is the contract you will use when you start booking clients.
