The Workshop

As the number of events has grown, so too has the need for trained professionals capable of planning and delivering events (live, hybrid and virtual) of various types including conferences, product launches, exhibitions, workshops/seminars, sporting events, parades and networking and social events. These programs contribute to meeting this need by providing key skills and knowledge in event project management.

Customizable Content

ETA offers organizations the opportunity to customize the program content which can be delivered online or face-to-face, to upskill their staff involved in the planning and delivery of events.

By selecting any of the 16 modules offered in the list of program topics, L&D specialists or corporate organizations are able to design the program content aligned with their desired learning outcome for the staff that they intend to upskill. A proposal for the (in-house or online) workshop with costings is available upon inquiry via the 'Get Proposal/Quotation' request.
