1. Become an Event Planner
“How do I become an event planner?” is one of the most frequently asked questions we
get. The good news is that becoming an event planner was named the best business job of
2012. Event Planners can make a great salary and the industry is expected to continue 20%
growth over the next eight years.
To get started, you can continue reading below or if you know you are ready for our
detailed, best-in-the-industry guide you can get it here.
Overview
There are two main types of planners: Social Planners and Corporate Planners
Social planning includes weddings, birthdays, parties, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs,
and holidays.
Corporate planning includes meetings, company events, seminars, conventions,
associations and charities.
The first thing to do is figure out which of these two categories you enjoy more. There are
ways to become successful doing both types of events but it’s helpful to master one type
before tackling the other.
How Can You Become An Event Planner?

and stands out. Jobs at event planning companies are hard to get so you want every advantage
over your competition.
Planning companies often times specialize in weddings, catering, special parties, industry
conventions, seminars, etc.
What Classes Should I Take To Become An Event Planner?
There are two main ways to study to become an event planner:
1. You can take college classes at a local school or online. If you would like to see which
colleges are in your area just answer this short form and we’ll match you to schools in your
area.
2. You can buy our study at home course to learn the basics of becoming an event planner.
Our course is very good at teaching you the ins and outs of event planning but it is a home
study course. If you would rather get a degree in Event Planning then click the form above. If
you would like to see the home study course please get it here.
Educational Requirements for Becoming an Event Planner
There are no formal requirements to get into the events industry, although if you are applying
for a job it sometimes helps having a college degree. Industry certifications like the CMP
(Certified Meeting Professional) and CSEP (Certified Special Events Professional) can
sometimes replace a college degree on your resume. If you are starting your own business
then having a college degree does not play a role in getting clients.
The problem is there aren’t many classes you can take in college to learn the exact day-to-day
skills that make you an asset to an event planning company. Nor are there many classes that
help you start your own event planning business. This is why we created a complete guide to
walking you through the important steps of creating your own business (above). Most online
event planning courses charge over $1200 for the same material.
I am looking for Event Planner Jobs – If you are interested in finding a job as an
event planner, most companies prefer to hire someone who has experience
coordinating one or more major events and has an educational background in how
event planning works. Today most event planners have at least a college degree, and
some have a masters degree in fields such as business, communications and
hospitality management. If you have event planning experience (or a college degree)
and are ready to apply for openings at event planner companies, you can search our
event planner job board now.
