Level 3 Events Management

This two-year Level 3 Extended Diploma course is tailored specifically to provide hands-on practical experience of managing and coordinating events on small or large scale. It includes opportunities to work on a number of internal and external events such as exhibitions, conferences, awards evenings, gigs, community events, festivals and public shows.

You will have the opportunity to work at a number of locations in the region on tasks set by clients. You will work closely with caterers, sound and lighting specialists and learn about business, planning and communication skills as well as Public Liability, Health and Safety and promotion.

We will help you reflect on your own practice, develop strategies for improving your skills, prepare for interviews and the job opportunities available in the events industry.

This qualification (Extended Diploma in Performing and Production Arts) is awarded by the prestigious UAL Awarding Body, widely regarded as the best university for the Creative Arts in Europe. It has been designed to improve the skills needed for any career path and will enable you to demonstrate adaptability, independence, professionalism, teamwork, reliability, problem solving and communication.

You will work in a group or around 10 students and your weekly timetable will be 13 hours.
Working on real events will mean you need to be flexible and available for external events to maximise your experience on the course. You should also plan to spend at least 6 hours per week of your own time on course work.

As well as practical work there will be time to do English and maths GCSE retakes if you need to.
