Dear Shifa,

Aspirants of career in event management do not have to have any minimum qualifying parameters and can choose to join any event management company as a trainee/apprentice. Knowledge, judgement, training, experience, and the ability to plan and manage a successful event take an individual to the pinnacle of success.

The minimum qualification required for attaining an event management diploma course, a student is required to have passed 10+2 irrespective of discipline and for pursuing a postgraduate diploma in event management, a bachelor degree in any stream is must.

Additional qualifications apart from event management training programmes like MBA, Sports Management and Digital Marketing would aid to fetch a job in the industry.

Event management companies and media houses are slowly but gradually recognizing the value of certified event professionals.

After completing your studies, the first step should be to intern directly with an established event planner or event managment company. This will be the perfect way to break into the industry and get the experience you need.

Again, when you’re looking at event management companies to work with, be sure to pick the ones based on your interests and what areas you need to learn.

Once you gain that experience, you are sure to get offers. Also, you can start your own enterprise.

Wishing you all the best !
