When you search for the best avenue to start learning and become certified, with many programs you find that what you're really paying for is printed textbooks that are written by professional writers, not experienced planners. So, you have to ask yourself, how helpful will the information you are paying for really be? Because it isn't just the actual Certificate that is important, it is being prepared for the Career you choose.

 That is the very reason this program was developed in the 1st place.  After years of conducting interviews to increase staffing on her own team, Victoria aka, The Queen of Weddings, became frustrated and disappointed. She found that even after completing their education through traditional systems, most all graduates and certified applicants were woefully unprepared.  It was then that she started to research just how and where these students were getting their information. After exhaustive searching and investing a ton of money, she realized, there just wasn't sufficient training out there to help prepare people for the field they wanted to have a career in.

You might be surprised to find that although Event Industry careers are one of the fastest-growing in the country, they also have one of the highest dropout rates. Most Planners/Coordinators end up dropping out of the field entirely, after experiencing only a few weddings. Why is that the case, you might ask? This happens because they simply were not properly prepared for the dream job they wanted. Imagine dreaming of becoming a wedding planner your whole life, then being unprepared and ending up ruining a bride's dreams. What a horrible, but easily avoidable outcome.  

With that in mind, The Queen of Weddings knew she had to do something. So she decided to take matters into her own hands and created her own program. Having been inducted into The Knot's Wedding Hall of Fame, receiving The Best of Weddings Award 7 years in a row, and being ranked in the top 2% of the nation, you will see why! With over 3 decades and thousands of weddings/events under her belt, Victoria has created the perfect program to not only prepare you for your new career but help you to see success and longevity in this amazing wonderful world of wedding planning!

Realizing that everyone learns differently and will need a varying level of involvement, the program offers video, audio, and written studies for everyone’s learning styles. Students have the ability to study from the comfort of home at the pace that suits them best. This program offers the additional benefits of continued growth and support with the ability to join live webinars, training sessions, and 1:1 coaching where students can ask questions that are top of their minds.
