Career Pathway
Training is just one element of career planning that helps us achieve our goals. By enrolling in a course with the Academy of Wedding and Event Planning you embark on an important step in your journey to your ultimate career.
However, at the Academy we are not only concerned with passing on our extensive knowledge in the form of our courses; we want to see you take the next step, beyond our courses, into this exciting industry. That is our goal.
This is why we have developed a number of programs to assist you in setting a pathway for success in your career. These programs have been developed in consultation with industry professionals and students. If you have any ideas about how we could help you in your career contact us to let us know.
At this time we can help you to achieve your goals beyond our courses in a number of ways:
Work Experience and Industry Placements
At the Academy, we are constantly updating our database of paid and unpaid Work Experience and Industry Placement opportunities for our students and graduates. Work Experience and Industry Placements enable students and graduates the opportunity to gain ‘hands-on’ event industry experience, with venues, Wedding and Event Businesses and independent planners and volunteer organisations which have event teams. Our Tutors and Career Advisors are also working professionals in this industry and draw on our network of students for casual assistance as and when required. Our Career Advisors will work with you to find the right opportunity for you at that right time, just contact us to find out more.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
The courses offered by the Academy of Wedding & Event Planning are comprehensive courses which will prepare you for a career in the Wedding and Events Industry. However if you would like to take your skills and knowledge to another level you can do so with a Diploma of Event Management. The Box Hill Tafe (Victoria) recognises the Academy of Wedding and Event Planning courses and will offer credit towards several of their Diploma course subjects, for AAWEP students.
This is particularly useful for students who wish to also undertake training in hospitality at a Tafe level.
The Academy is currently working with other Tafe institutions to achieve this type of recognition for students from around Australia. For more information contact an AAWEP Course Advisor today.
The new hot career is Wedding Planning – join the revolution.
