The Event School London

Training for the International Event Industry since 2005. The Event School London was established to meet the need for highly practical career paths for entry level students, and a growing demand for professionalisation in the industry via credible certifications for more seasoned industry personnel.

Just as the event industry offers a broad range of fields and roles to work in, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to training. We offer a range of specialist qualification options from our own Professional Development Suites, to The CPD Certification Service UK, Training Qualifications UK endorsements and Ofqual accreditations.

Participants can choose from:

• MicroCredentials and MasterClasses for Upskilling and professional development
• Certificates and Advanced Certificates for Foundation Skills or Refresher programmes
• Part-time Diplomas for career-changers or those new to planning roles
• Full-Time Higher Diplomas as Degree Alternatives
• Advanced Diplomas as PostGrad Alternatives
• In-House or Bespoke Training for Corporate or Industry Groups

Participants can be assured of the relevance of their programmes and our success in developing sought after graduates:

• 93% of our graduates are working in event roles 6 months after course completion in London, the UK and internationally
• Due to the calibre of our passionate educators and inspirational teaching, we were awarded the MEDAL programme for The Office of the 5 Host Boroughs (London 2012). Fast-forward to 2019 we were chosen to provide bespoke training for the BBC Live Music and Events Team, 2022 we were honoured with the Best Innovator Award from RSVP Club and in 2023 selected to deliver an upskilling programme to Riyadh’s National Event Centre staff.
• We remain at the forefront of innovation in event education with students immersed in industryexperiences and supported by educational rigour and expertise – our team are both event professionals and talented educators.
• We host our courses in the rich and diverse learning environment of venues on London’s stunning Royal Victoria Docks, where hundreds of events are staged each year from trade shows to product launches, conferences to expos, sports events to wedding shows – making it an ideal environment for event loving course participants.
• We work with practising event professionals, keeping our finger on the global pulse and sharing expertise with a range of world-wide event industry and educational networks, maintaining multiple industry organisation memberships and hosting our own Industry Advisory Board compiled of international event industry leaders and influencers
• While we offer virtual (live) and fully online courses, we continue to deliver the event industry’s most extensive range of face-to-face training for participants who want, and benefit from, human interaction and in-person experiences.
• Our students and their success are at the heart of everything we do and our lecturers, facilitators, tutors, mentors and coaches receive consistently excellent ratings and feedback for pastoral care, knowledge and expertise, and engaging and inspiring delivery.
