The Online Wedding Education Symposium

written by

We have some exciting news. We have just launched our new Certification Program for Wedding Professionals, which offers anyone in the wedding industry the chance to become certified. The Academy’s certification program is the only one in the wedding industry that focuses on business success in addition to the execution of wedding services.
We are aiming to raise the bar of our industry by creating a program whereby wedding pros are asked to show competency and business sustainability. It promotes the need for continued education in the wedding industry and gives professionals a chance to earn a meaningful designation that is supported and managed in association with the Academy Advisory Board.
As an existing professional in the industry you no doubt have come to understand that this is a very popular career choice. It is also relatively easy to get started by launching your own business, as the industry is largely unregulated. Being able to demonstrate your professionalism, experience and commitment to Continued Professional Development, gives you a competitive advantage.
By becoming a Certified Wedding Professional with the International Academy of Wedding & Event Planning, your professionalism is immediately recognisable to your future clients.
To celebrate the launch of our certification program we are hosting an Online Wedding Education Symposium with some of the top experts in the industry. They will share their knowledge, experience, wisdom and advice and demonstrate how continued education has played an intergral role in their success.
The event will take place on our Facebook Page @WeddingAcademyLive so make sure you put the date and time in your diary as follows:

  • Join us on the 17th of May, 2017 in the UK @ 4pm BST (British Summer Time)
  • Join us on the 17th of May, 2017 in the United States @ 2pm ET & 11am PT
  • Join us on the 18th of May, 2017 in Australia & New Zealand @ 9am AEDT & 11am NZST.

As the leading global educators for the wedding industry we are passionate about education and our expert panel are too. You are never too wise to learn. Continued education is an integral part to business and career success and that is something we promote widely here at the Academy. So we invite you to join us as we get up close and personal with our guests, finding out about their triumphs, failures, challenges and how education has played such a big part in their success. They will share their knowledge, inspire you and leave you feeling motivated to continue on your own wedding career.
