Description
EPA Event Management Curriculum & Assessment Framework
A practical framework for developing and delivering structured event management training.
Written by Julie Chege for Event Planners Alliance, this editable resource helps institutions and independent tutors organize their programmes, prepare lessons and assess learners consistently. It supports classroom, online and blended delivery.

Subjects Covered
The curriculum covers event planning, budgeting, venue management, logistics, suppliers, marketing, guest relations, technology, safety and team leadership. It also includes sustainability, catering, décor and floral design, supported by communication, business, professional development and ICT skills.
Designed for Practical Teaching
The recommended programme provides 500 planned learning hours, including supervised integrative practice. Tutors can adapt schedules, examples and activities to their learners and local context.
The framework guides delivery while allowing tutors to develop their own detailed lessons and presentations. Assessment tools help learners demonstrate both their understanding and their ability to apply event management skills.
