“The Event Academy is brilliant! I studied the online Post Graduate Diploma in 2018/2019 whilst living overseas and I can't tell you how much I learnt during that time. It was truly amazing learning from fabulous tutors, so many resources to hook into, support from other students on the course and ongoing support even after finishing. Fast forward all those years and I still refer to my course notes - I have two notebooks, full of scribble, diagrams, highlights and post its and whilst they are in a cupboard under my desk, I probably look at them once a month. It was so worth the investment! 110% recommend the course.”

“Attending The Event Academy was a turning point for my career. The Postgraduate Degree in Event Management, Marketing and Communications was an amazing experience; the curriculum is so well-structured, blending deep industry insights with the practical, hands-on skills you actually need in the field. The tutors are incredible industry experts who bring the material to life, and having such a hands-on, supportive Principal made the entire learning journey feel both inspiring and world-class. As an alum, I’ve realised that you don’t just leave with a qualification; you leave with a lifelong support system. The team genuinely invests in your success, offering guidance and industry connections long after graduation. Knowing that they are still in my corner as I navigate the industry has been invaluable. If you want an Academy that supports your ambition from day one and stays with you as you grow, this is exactly where you need to be.”

“The Event Academy students are professional, knowledgeable, and happy to jump in with whatever is needed for a smooth event. We, at The Trouble Club, were very happy with the students who assisted us at a recent event, and we look forward to using The Event Academy again.”

“I graduated from The Event Academy in 2014 and it was absolutely the right decision for me. I not only learned the essential foundations of delivering different types of events, but also the marketing basics that support them. My journey in the industry started with a student placement and from there it was a straight and steady career path. I strongly recommend this course — not only for its well-designed programme, but especially for the amazing, passionate teachers who always gave 100% and generously shared their experience and the tricks that help you overcome every kind of challenge.”

“It has been seven years since I earned my Postgraduate Diploma in Event Management for Marketing and Communication—graduating with distinction—and I can confidently say the impact has been immeasurable. I brought to the course years of experience as both a practitioner and educator in the discipline at the School of Arts Management and Humanities in Jamaica, yet the fresh insights, global perspectives, and strategic approaches I gained from the program elevated my practice in unexpected ways. The curriculum, already rich and comprehensive, pivoted during the COVID-19 pandemic to address the evolving realities of the industry, adding even more depth to the learning experience. It’s intense and all-encompassing—covering areas that may initially seem peripheral but ultimately prove invaluable in the field. My advice? Inhale deeply, submerge yourself fully, and soak up every ounce of knowledge—it all becomes relevant. A recent example: at the Healing Conference for the Anglican Diocese of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, held at the Royalton Luxury Hotel and Spa in Negril, which I was privileged to play key roles, I found myself applying lessons from one of my student assignments that I never imagined I’d revisit. I led a team coordinating with a destination management company to secure competitive hotel rates, airport pickups in Montego Bay (their network was exceptional), and ground transportation for attendees from across Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Florida, Canada, and Nassau. Navigating these logistics with “gentle firmness” was both challenging and rewarding—and it reaffirmed just how practical and applicable the course content truly is. I continue to recommend and endorse this program wholeheartedly. It was money well spent. The lecturers were knowledgeable and accessible, the course content clear and relevant, and the assignments—though demanding—were incredibly engaging. Best of all, the qualification opens doors globally, whether you're managing large-scale productions or intimate community events.”

“Completing the Intensive Diploma was the best decision I have ever made. After deciding that Events was the right career for me and struggling to secure a new role, I looked into the Events Academy and thought their course had the perfect balance of theory and practical to get me ready for the Events world. I successfully completed the course and it was amazing. My lecturers, classmates and project teammates were wonderful and I felt a great sense of achievement having presented our project to a real life client. I learnt so much about myself during this course and developed a new sense of confidence that I will take with me into my Events career. From being too shy to speak up on the first day to confidently pitching our Event in front of lecturers and a client was the best feeling. If you're considering joining the course, I would say go for it! It has changed my life for the better, and I am so excited to start my Events career with the backing of my CIM accredited Diploma. I've also made some amazing new friends for life! Thank you to everyone at the Event Academy who supported me from joining the course all the way to the last day. I am so grateful for this experience and cannot recommend this course enough.”

Hi Sara, thank you for your feedback and congratulations on passing your CIM Accredited Online Certificate in Events & Marketing! We totally understand that our students are keen to get their certificates back from the Chartered Institute of Marketing asap. In order to carry an accredited badge, as we do, all our courses and marking are submitted to the CIM to be double checked. This ensures that the learning that we are giving our students is of the highest quality plus the quality of our students work is of the highest standard and therefore it's a qualification valued by employers. However, Claire Derrick is going to take this up with the CIM to see if we can speed the process up. Please do stay in touch and our Student Services department will update you as soon as we have your Certificate. Kind Regards Tania

“Wow, what an experience I had at The Event Academy! I am Kenyan and currently reside in Kenya and I was looking into joining the Events Industry but wanted to differentiate myself from others. Therefore I was adamant in upskilling my experience with a certificate and not just locally but from an international standpoint. When I saw that EA are accredited by CIM, that was my cue to enroll. The courses were well planned out and gave a global view on how to carry yourself as a professional. I definitely recommend EA to anyone who wants to expand their mindset in the Events space, be professional and have a global touch to how they operate in the Events Industry.”
