I can wholeheartedly recommend undertaking the Event Mgt Diploma course... not only does it give you the theoretical grounding and pitching experience but also opens up invaluable work contacts and opportunities.

I was very fortunate to secure a contract with Jack Morton - a global leader - and in turn other specialist agencies. Without the course it would have been very difficult for me to get that all important 'foot in the door'! It's also an invaluable opportunity to build friendships and diverse contacts: as the course director rightly points out... it's all about networking!

You produced an excellent course, extremely informative and most importantly very practical.

We, at JAM Events, a brand new events management company, have discovered some sound advice and hands on help that we have already implemented into our business on a daily basis. Through the knowledge that we have learnt from you at The Fitzwilliam Institute Group, we have managed to secure jobs since completing the course.

We would like to thank all the tutors. I would recommend anyone interested in pursuing a career in events to enrol on this course. Thank you! - Jeff and Mark Curtis, Jam Events

It has been nearly a year since I finished the Course with Fitzwilliam Institute Group and I cannot believe how quickly it has flown by.

Since then I have worked on numerous fantastic events including Sport Relief and with really high profile clients, including Nike and Sky. My time at Fitzwilliam Institute Group, learning from people who are already highly successful in the industry, was invaluable for giving me a solid base of knowledge and practical event experience and I honestly do not think I would be where I am now if I had not taken the course.

Nicole Wright
