Course Overview
This university award has been developed as a response to the changing legislation that governs the management of events providing expertise in the key areas of licensing and site design.
As a short course delivered over three days of face to face content with online digital content to support the assessment, this course provides a professional certification in events that can be used as a springboard to demonstrate compliance and to undertake further specialised qualifications at level 6.
