Special Events Management Certificate

Overview

Special events involve anything from managing basic meetings to planning complex conferences, fundraisers or in-house employee events. The courses in NAIT’s Special Events Management Certificate program cover a wide range of practical topics that help students successfully plan and manage a variety of events.

This program is intended for those aspiring to a career in professional event management and for those already working in positions with event planning responsibilities.

Students can take individual courses or complete all of the courses and earn a Special Events Management Certificate. Students working toward the certificate must complete courses SEM101 through SEM108 and the capstone project, SEM108P, which consists of a portfolio of a fictitious one-day event and 20 event-related volunteer hours. The capstone project allows students to showcase their knowledge to future or current employers.
