ICS CANADA AND ABC ( ASSOCIATION OF BRIDAL CONSULTANTS)

by DIANNE MARIE
(CANADA)

I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE CERTIFIED WEDDING PLANNER COURSE SINCE LATE MAY. I AM DOING THE COURSE ON LINE (THE EXAMS) AND I RECEIVE MY BOOKS TO MY HOME BY MAIL.

I DECIDED TO TAKE THIS COURSE AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH 2 CONSULTANTS WHO HAVE A VERY BUSY AND LARGE WEDDING PLANNING BUSINESS IN CANADA WHO TOOK THE COURSE WITH THEM.

AS A GRADUATE OF MC.GILL UNIVERSITY IN BUSINESS AND A BUSINESS WOMEN WHO HAS WORKED IN THE BANQUET DEPARTMENT ON EVENTS AND WEDDINGS FOR THE PAST 24 YEARS I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS COURSE IS FANTASTIC. VERY INFORMATIVE AND COMPLETE.

I AM VERY IMPRESSED. THAT BEING SAID I DO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE INDUSTRY. I UNDERSTAND THE COURSE OUTLINE AND DETAILS AND IT IS AN INDUSTRY THAT I ENJOY WORKING IN AND HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF EXPERIENCE IN. FIRST THE BUSINESS INDUSTRY AND 2ND EVENTS, CORPORATE AND WEDDINGS.

I CONTACTED ABC WHICH IS THE ASSOCIATION OF BRIDAL CONSULTANTS AFTER SIGNING UP FOR THE COURSE, AND THEY GAVE IT GREAT REVIEWS. BECAUSE ICS CANADA IS THE ONLY INSTITUTE THAT IS PERMITTED TO TEACH THEIR BRIDAL CONSULTANT COURSE BESIDES THEM.ICS OFFERS THE COURSE FOR THEM. BUT YOU CAN TAKE THE COURSE DIRECTLY IF YOU WANT WITH ABC WHICH IS THE ASSOCIATION, AND I ENCOURATE ANYONE TO CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY PARTICULARLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE US AND TAKE IT WITH THEM. IT IS THE BEST COURSE OUT THERE UNLESS YOU GO STRAIGHT TO A RECOGNIZED UNIVERSITY AND DO A MINOR OR MAJOR IN THE BUSINESS OF EVENTS.

I KNOW I HAVE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. FURTHERMORE YOU MUST TAKE OTHER COURSES / TRAINING WITH THE ASSOCIATION EVERY YEAR TO UP-GRADE YOUR SKILLS IN THE INDUSTRY.

FURTHERMORE IT IS THE ONLY COURSE THAT SANDALS RESORTS RECOGNIZES.

YOU CAN TAKE THIS SAME ICS CANADA COURSE DIRECTLY WITH ABC THE ASSOCIATION AND THEY WILL CERTIFY YOU. AT THE MOMENT I AM STILL DOING THE COURSE AND I AM AUTOMATICALLY A MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION AT THIS TIME. WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF STARTING THE COURSE YOU RECEIVE A 6 MONTH FREE MEMBERSHIP. HOW GREAT IS THAT. I AM STILL LEARNING AND THAT IS WHAT HAVING YOUR OWN BUSINESS IS ALL ABOUT. AND WITH THIS COURSE I KNOW I WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.

GOOD LUCK IT IS A GREAT INDUSTRY TO WORK IN AND SO IS THE EVENT PLANNING INDUSTRY.
