The Certified Events Manager Programme
Introduction to the programme
Based on our research, we realize the need for a practical training programme on event management for those involved in corporate events. When we were at school, we were not taught how to organize and manage events and yet, when we join the corporate world, we are often asked to organize such events, whether on small or large scale and most of the time, without proper guidance and training. Most of us developed our skills from those days when we were involved in extracurricular activities.
This is an opportunity to learn the systematic approach to events management. You can thus improve your organizational skills in managing your company or client’s corporate events and to demonstrate to your superiors or clients…your abilities in event management. You can also go for the certification and be recognised as professional event manager with the title “Certified Event Manager”.
Objectives
The participants will get 1st-hand knowledge from experienced practitioners in Events Management. Some of the learning objectives of the workshop include:
- Understand and appreciate the Event management process flow and all key aspects of events management…including applications from research and planning for successful implementation to managing risk, budget and evaluation and many more
- Understanding and implementing The 5W2H system
- Understand the importance of project management skills
- Understand resources and suppliers management

Certified Professional Emcee/ Master of Ceremonies (CPE/CPMC)
Introduction to the programme
The Master of Ceremonies (generally known as Emcee or in short MC) is the "conductor" of an event or meeting. The primary responsibility of the Master of Ceremonies is to serve as a genial host. An ideal MC is a person who has poise, presence and who can command the attention of an audience.
The Master of Ceremonies is responsible for ensuring that the program/event runs smoothly, runs on time and that all the important people at the event are introduced in a complimentary, professional manner. Being a successful Master of Ceremonies requires preparation, a friendly manner and the ability to adjust or to ad-lib as necessary to ensure a successful event.
Finding the right people to put on stage as the host of your event is really, really important. You've got to have the right personalities and presence on stage as you continue to thread the theme or series through the night. It is often said that the MC can make or break your event on the day itself.
Being the MC can be a wonderful responsibility, both for the individual and for their company. In fact every company would really need someone internal and can even train a few of their employees to do some of the smaller or easier emceeing jobs for their own events instead of outsourcing each time, especially for smaller scale or internal events. They can learn to handle internal events efficiently and thus may even save the company some additional expenses.
At the same time, this workshop will be a good learning ground for personal development and to enhance yours or your staff's capabilities in this area. You may just discover the hidden talents in you and/or the gem that you are to your organisation!
Those who are keen to enhance their credentials and proceed in this career can apply for the Certification programme as "Certified Professional Emcee", certified by IPMA, UK (International Professional Managers Association, UK)
