Wedding Planning – Debbie Ellis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"successI chose the Wedding Planning course <\/a>to work alongside the Level 3 Events Management course I completed with Stonebridge. I knew that the qualification I would be receiving at the end of it would be recognised by employers and the process of earning that qualification would be stress-free.<\/p>\n

Reading the kind of thing that I would be learning with the course really helped me make the decision, and as with the Events Management course, I knew I’d be set little tasks that I can take part in whilst learning which really got me excited to get stuck in and earn the qualification. That sealed the deal for me.<\/p>\n

The thing that I have enjoyed the most about the course so far is how structured and clear it is, which goes hand in hand with the stress-free factor of the course. The fact that it is clear exactly what I should be learning and where I should be putting my answers really helps – I don’t need to check with anyone, which allows me to pick up the course whenever I can.<\/p>\n

Benefits of learning with Stonebridge Colleges<\/h2>\n

The benefits of the distance learning course are that, outside of my normal day-to-day work, I can explore the world of Wedding Planning. I don’t feel completely clueless whenever I ask those in the industry about the field, I can clearly state that I am studying on a course on the subject and I’d like information.<\/p>\n

\"weddingA benefit is also that the planning of a wedding has become a hobby of mine – I like to make DIY Wedding Favours and Invitations and generally help others out there who need a little inspiration. Being on the course has given me a new-found confidence.<\/p>\n

I am currently studying the third module, so I’ve only completed two so far but my favourite is definitely the one I am currently on – Planning a Wedding Overseas<\/a>. I feel like with the first two modules I kind of knew bits and bobs, but this is completely alien to me so I really feel like I am learning something new. It’s also so interesting to see the difference in planning a wedding overseas in comparison to in the UK.<\/p>\n

Stonebridge Colleges tutor support and feedback<\/h2>\n

To be honest, I haven’t actually gone out of my way to ask my tutor questions or anything like that just yet, but knowing that the help is there if I need it is a huge benefit. Luckily for me, a lot of my work in school was structured in the same way that these assignments are, so I kind of know what I need to add in to the text here and there and how many points should be included etc.<\/p>\n

I feel as though the tutor support would really benefit those that have been out of education for a long time and I’d highly recommend it. I absolutely love the tutor feedback at the end of each assignment, it really boosts my confidence and reassures me that I’m on the right track.<\/p>\n

The best thing about distance learning is the flexibility of it. The fact that I can pick it up and put it down as and when I need and my lifestyle will allow is perfect. I know that some Online Learning schools offer flexibility, but the process of actually submitting assignments and the learning side of it can be stressful, however I am so lucky that Stonebridge aren’t like that.<\/p>\n

It is so clear what needs to be done, the information I receive is clear and I know help is there if I need it, it’s such a stress-free process that it doesn’t feel like work – it feels like a hobby.<\/p>\n

My future career plans are to hopefully become a successful Wedding Planner<\/a> and blogger. I’d hope that after completing this course I will be able to join a company who specialises in Wedding Planning.<\/p>\n

Owning my own company is the dream, but let’s take one step at a time! I’d use my blog to offer any people planning a wedding tips and how to organise a wedding on a budget, as well as throwing in fun DIY ideas.<\/p>\n
