What are others saying?
"The examples and case studies were really good. Listening to industry experts who work and passion for the industry was really inspiring."
"There were some terms or subjects that are not often taught in uni, so it was very useful to get that information. It was easy to follow, which can be nice too!"
"I enjoyed week 4 on the regulations and how a technical running order was presented. They really went into the production side of things, rather than just a general event management webinar. The case studies were also great"
