BOUT US
The Australian Academy of Wedding and Event Planning offers training and guidance to Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants, Virtual Assistants & Secretaries. Our courses are specialised courses delivered by industry experts who have hands on experience of what is required to organise a successful event.
For those who organise events as part of their job, for example a personal or executive assistant; or for those who wish to concentrate on smaller, more social events, such as Christmas parties and team conferences our courses are the perfect choice.
Our event planning and design courses are second to none. Written in Australia for the Australian market, they will teach you everything you need to know to organise corporate and special events for your company.
We have aligned ourselves with some fantastic industry partners including hotels, conference venues, event management companies and design teams. It is with their help that we are able to bring our courses alive here at The Academy.
Our teaching and support staff are all there to help you as you make your way through the course. You can even use an existing event that you are in the middle of planning as part of your course assignments. You can pick the brains of your tutor to help you organise the event as well. As the largest private provider of career training in event planning & design in Australia, and with over 15 years of experience, we have assisted and prepared many students to start effectively plan events for their company.

ESTIMONIALS
Here is what some of our students have had to say about our course:
"The detail in this course was what really surprised me. I had no idea there was so much involved in becoming an Event Planner. This course helped me to take my job that little bit further and allowed me to feel confident when planning an event."
Mary - Personal Assistant for a major bank - SA
"I loved doing the course as it really sparked my creativity as well as showing me tricks of the trade to make my life just that little bit easier.”
Natalie - Secretary for a large Solicitors - QLD
“The Academy has helped me every step of the way both during my course and after it. I have now added event planning to my portfolio of services and am looking forward to progressing in my new career as a Virtual Assistant."
Miriam - Virtual PA - NSW
"The thing I loved about the course were the assignments and how they helped me to set up my new company whilst studying. I had a blast and am well on my way to launching. All I need to do now is decide on a company name."
Nicole - Virtual PA - WA
"I can highly recommend the Event Planning course for PA’s. I enjoyed it so much I enrolled on the Wedding Planning Course as well for my own enjoyment. Everything I learnt in the course I was able to apply within my corporate role working as an Executive Assistant. I had no idea there was so much involved in this industry."
Vicki - Executive Assistant for a publishing company - VIC
"The course was great fun and far more in depth than I had given it credit for. I have since organised 3 events and a conference and was able to use my new found knowledge and it was really exciting putting what I had learnt into action. The result was 4 successful events.”
Anna - PA for a large recruitment company - VIC
"I really enjoyed the assignments on the course and my tutor, Fern, was a God send! I am now off to the UK to work as an Executive Assistant."
Becky - Executive Assistant for a national association - QLD
“The course has assisted me with the intricate details of planning an event and how to implement those techniques into my current professional position. I feel that my university course - Bachelor of Business Majoring in Events Management - does not teach me the intricate details, only the big business environment. This information is important, but to do this as a career I will need to know how to organise an event past my own experience.”
