Working efficiently, confidently, and profitably on Large Scale Weddings & Events is something that takes practice and training. We’re delighted to continue offering this short, intensive course to support your journey into Weddings & Events or perhaps refreshing your existing skills.
Over two consecutive days we cover both a Hanging Installation and an Arbour/Entrance design as group activities, then move into creating a large-scale table centrepiece as an individual task. In the final session, all pieces come together to form part of an overall finished ‘real world’ event. This allows us the opportunity to see the complete creative journey from the concept, quotation, base medium, mechanics, staging and removal of the designs. Throughout the process, you’ll have a completely safe space to explore new techniques and learn about how to stand out from what can be quite a ‘noisy’ crowd, within the industry.
We offer this intensive course in intimate numbers, so that you have maximum 1-2-1 learning with the tutors.
This course is ideal for students who have completed our Industry Ready Course or Certificate II equivalent.
