Intermediate Course in Event Planning and Management – Level 2: Event Planner

Course Description

The Level 2: Event Planner program is an intermediate professional course designed to bridge the gap between event coordination knowledge and real-world event planning. This course equips learners with the practical skills, leadership confidence, and decision-making ability required to coordinate mid-scale events successfully. Building on foundational event planning principles, learners are trained to manage vendors, lead teams, engage clients professionally, troubleshoot on-site challenges, and handle risk and contingency planning. Through a blended learning approach that combines virtual classes, physical workshops, expert-led sessions, and field-based practice, students gain hands-on exposure to live events and industry-standard coordination processes.

Delivered through a blended learning model, the program combines:

• Self-paced online learning

• Live virtual and physical classes

• Project-based assignments

• Practical industry exposure through real events

Students actively participate in planning and supporting live events, gaining hands-on experience similar to what is expected within event planning companies in Kenya and event management companies in Nairobi. The course emphasises professionalism, teamwork, sustainability, customer experience, and client-centred delivery – key skills required of every successful event organiser and event planner in Nairobi, Kigali, Kampala, Dar-es-salaam, Arusha and across East Africa

This program is ideal for anyone looking to enter the industry, start an event planning business in Kenya, or progress into higher-level event management courses.
