Event Planning Certification - What it really means when it comes to finding a job.

In the rapidly growing business of event planning, professional certification is fast becoming a way to ensure that event managers are ready to meet the demands of corporate and social events across the globe. The decision to earn an event planning certification can be a significant one, so make sure you choose one that best fits your current expertise and your future career plans.

You can apply for any certification that matches your qualifications, and most certifications are independent of each other. In broad terms, any certification is the process through which an organization grants recognition to an individual or an organization that meets certain established criteria. For event management certification of individuals, the individuals usually have to meet eligibility requirements, such as academic achievement, pass an examination and pay a fee.

It is important to note that certification is voluntary - unlike licensure which is mandatory in order to practice in the licensed role in a given geographic location, such as a city, state or nationally. However, that's not to say that certification is less valuable - that’s because in this highly competitive job market, employers require and perhaps prefer applicants who are certified. So why does certification matter to employers? In a word, commitment. An event management certification signifies that you’re dedicated and truly committed to your career in event management and are investing in your professional development. It highlights this dedication to employers, colleagues and stakeholders, with the end benefit of giving you an edge in the job market.
