The Irish Academy Launches International Online Diploma in Event Management Course

New York, NY, November 10, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Irish Academy launched its Diploma in Event Management course today. It is available in every state of the USA. “The Academy’s Diploma in Event Management is truly international because it combines Irish certification with international best practice and American tutoring. The theory and practice of event management are almost the same worldwide, but the sheer scale and scope of events are different from one country to another. The Irish Academy is using American-based tutors so that the theory is ‘localised’ and made relevant to American students” said Ellen Gunning, the Academy’s director

The course, which is taught online at www.irishacademy.com/us, teaches participants how to take a concept and turn it into a reality. There are modules on how to write a proposal for a client and how to attract a sponsor. The course teaches participants how to use marketing, media and promotional tools. It looks at staffing, health and safety, handing crisis and evaluating the success of your project.

The Academy’s diploma course suits volunteers working with sporting, charitable, church or community groups who organise events. It will be of benefit to anyone who wants to work in the industry, or who already works in the businesses but does not have an academic qualification. The diploma course combines academic knowledge with practical know-how.

The Diploma in Event Management is taught over twelve weeks, online, at a cost of $545. The Irish Academy has been teaching online courses since 1992 and has graduates working in America, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, England, Egypt, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lesotho, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.

The Diploma in Event Management online-course begins in the USA on 15th November 2012. Anyone interested in holding this international qualification will find further details on the Academy website www.irishacademy.com/us, email education@irishacademy.com for further information, or call Toll Free on 855.278.0802.
