Many of our graduates have done just that and gone on to launch successful careers. If starting a business is your end goal then you need to look at the Advanced Certificate in Wedding Planning, Styling and Business, which also includes the business and marketing training you will need.

All our courses are online which gives you the flexibility to learn anywhere and at times that suit you. So you really can fit your course around your lifestyle. Many of our students study whilst having a full time job and/or looking after a family.
