In the commercial world, a number of event professionals are adopting this approach for various reasons – one being compliance with other
companies and government standards. However, all event professionals have to manage the finances, schedule and the product, so they are all
using aspects of project management whether they recognise it or not.

The course will use a number of methods to ensure effective learning including large and small group discussions, lectures and case studies. As
the focus of the programme is on skills, there will be a significant amount of practice in role play.
