'Most In-Depth Wedding Planning Courses In The UK'
Become a Wedding Planner in 6-9 Months... Your Future Wedding Planning Career Starts Here! Over the years our Academy has consistently produced some of the finest wedding planners, designers and coordinators in the country. Since 2007 our intensive home study & online Wedding Planning Courses have taught hundreds of students how to set up and run their own wedding & special events companies or given them the skills, qualifications and confidence to seek employment within the wedding and events industry. We offer 3 separate courses to choose from and no prior experience is necessary. Our First Class Advanced program is arguably the most up-to-date and in-depth online wedding planner course in the UK today.
