How to Have a Career as a Wedding Planner Without Any Experience

Student Hangout 2

Most of the students who study with the Academy come to us when they are looking for a change in career or simply because they have fallen in love with the wedding and event industry. The majority of them have never worked in the industry and have zero experience. That is absolutely fine.

All the courses at the Academy start off with the basics and build as they go on. We teach you the grassroots of planning, styling and design and then we develop your skills throughout the course so you are ready to hit the ground running once you have completed.

We love to chat to our students and find out from them how their study experience has been and we do this using Google Hangouts live on YouTube. The hangout below was with our student Danielle Edmunds who chatted to our course consultant and tutor, Zoe McKeown, about her experience as a student at the Academy.

Danielle had no experience at all and through the course has built up not only her knowledge but her confidence too. Remember we have campuses around the world and as we are online you can study from anywhere at all. To find out more about studying with the Academy you can use the links below:
