The price for this course is only $297
(you can also pay in monthly installments,

Not $999, or $1200, or even $1800 as I have seen advertised by those other courses. Sure, some of those other courses are more slick, with fancy binders and materials and fluffy content. They waste your time (and money) by teaching you how to fill out invitations and pick out balloons to match your plates.

My course, on the other hand, is only about twelve hours long total. I don't waste your time and money with a bunch of fluff; instead, we get down to the bare-bones, what-you-need-to-know introductory information that you need in order to start your career in event planning. For a full outline of what the course covers, scroll down below.

You can also choose a payment plan
of $59.40 for five months;
with the first payment you will have access to the Introductory video, Chapters 1&2, and the free bonuses.
Then, you will receive two chapters per month
along with each monthly payment.

"How is this course different?"

Have you ever heard the saying, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"?

After years of being asked by my readers which online courses I recommend, I am still at a loss. Because, quite honestly, there aren't a lot of online event planning courses out there that I feel comfortable recommending. Most of them seem too focused on helping you start your own event planning business or how to do wedding planning; instead of teaching you the basics for truly starting your event planning career. And, even the courses that seem decent charge far too much for the average person who is just starting a new career.

I won't promise you that you can start your own event planning business by the end of it, like those other courses promise; mainly, because you can't. (Click here to see the reasons why you can't think of starting an event planning business of your own without any experience). Remember, any event planner course that promises anything different ("you CAN start your very own event planning business just by taking this course, with no experience whatsoever!") is lying to you.

I also won't teach you how to plan weddings (for the reasons why I suggest you not go into wedding planning, click here).

I also am not going to teach you how to plan parties for a living (for the reasons why I recommend against trying to become a party planner, click here).

What I will teach you is the basics of international corporate meeting planning and large event planning; because this is where the money is, and where the true jobs are.

Please understand that this course teaches you the basic, foundational elements as they relate to event planning. Just because you take this course, does not mean you will be automatically ready to plan your own event with thousands of people.

This course teaches you the lingo, the elements as they relate to each other within the event world, and other imperative information that will enable you to stand out from the rest and have a much, much better chance at landing a job.


"So, Sirena, what changed your mind?"

I created this website over three years ago, and never had any intention of creating an event planner course, ever.

However, I started to listen to my readers. By far the number one question I am asked by my loyal readers and subscribers is, "What online event planner course should I take?" or "Is XYZ online school worth the money? Are they reputable?"

And the most frustrating of all, "Which online courses can you recommend?"

This is all very frustrating to me. Not because my readers are asking the questions, because you definitely should be questioning what path is the best one to take! You should be asking which event planner course is best, and what is worth your time and money.

Rather, it's frustrating to me because many of the courses out there are absolute junk. And, even if they are decent courses, they charge FAR too much for people who are just trying to start a new career.

And so, I've spent the better part of my newsletters and website telling you to not take any courses, just get out there and get experience. And I stand by that advice.

However, the reality is, you do need to know some basics. You do need to learn from someone how to get started. You do need to learn how plan events in order to even get a decent volunteer position planning events. And you do need something to stand out from the rest of the "event planner hopefuls" out there.

But when it comes to recommending any courses out there, I just can't. I can't, in good conscience, tell you to go spend $1200 to learn how to plan birthday parties and weddings. And so when people ask me what event planner course to take, I am stuck.

Until now.

For anyone that's read my newsletters and my websites, I think you should feel comfortable that I'm not going to sell you a bunch of fluff. I'm not going to pass off a bunch of malarkey and call it a course. This will be true, get-to-the-guts information on how to plan events.

And I'm going to make my introductory price more affordable than any other course out there.


"What will the event planner course cover?"

As I mentioned before, this course will focus mainly on the "guts" of what you need to know in order to plan large-scale events and corporate meetings, events, and incentives.

Why? Because that's where the money is, and where the consistent work is; in other words, the "realistic" way to create a career as an event planner.

Please realize this course will not teach you a bunch of fluff. I'm not going to just suggest ideas on fun ways to throw a party.

I'm going to teach you the basic logistics of what every event planner needs to know in order to plan an event.

Admittedly, some of it is boring and dry. Some of it is fun. But it's all imperative information to learn if you want to start a career in events.

There are ten chapters, and each chapter is approximately an hour long.

Here's an outline of topics that are covered in the event planner course:

The course is offered online, so you can take it at your own pace, on your own time. Once you submit payment, you will gain immediate access to a secured area (where your password is required).

There you will find a list of ten "chapters," which are video PowerPoint presentations. I'm warning you, there's nothing fancy here! I am not interested in selling you "bells & whistles;" instead I want to teach you imperative information you need to start your career. I also do not send out fancy books, guides, or material, because (a) I want to keep the cost low, and (b) I have readers from all over the world. Keeping it all online keeps it accessible to everyone!

Each video will last approximately one hour long. The videos must be watched online; however there will also be documents you can download to supplement your learning.

You can go back at any time to watch the videos again; you will also have the option to pause, rewind, and fast-forward. This gives you the greatest freedom and allows you to work around your schedule.


"What if I live outside the U.S? Can I still benefit from your course?"

Absolutely! The foundational elements, which is what this course is about, are the same for any event, anywhere in the world. Some of the terms might be slightly different, but otherwise this applies to anyone who wants to plan events in their country!

And, as I mentioned before, I am keeping the entire course online so that you can access it from anywhere in the world.


"How Do I Know You're Not a Scam?"

This is a tough one; and a question you should be asking before you spend any money online, ever.

I only take payment through PayPal. Even if you don't have an account, you can pay by credit card through PayPal. PayPal has a policy that protects you if you never receive your product, or if you decide I'm a scammer.

If, on the other hand, you decide that my information is worthless and it's not for you, then I will offer a refund within 48 hours of your purchase. You will no longer be able to access the "member's area" or have access to the videos.

Hopefully this ensures you that I offer a quality, reliable product and that you are protected.
